Dr. John Berryman answered

Unknown STD?'s : Treatment of urethritis with random antibiotics is only effective if a specific bacterial agent is responsible. There are viral causes for urethritis as well as bacterial, so ask for a referral to an infectious disease specialist for appropriate treatment.
