A member asked:

How do you get urethritis if you are a male and not sexually active?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Easy.: Urethritis is an inflammation of the lining of the urethra. Although infection with a sexually transmitted disease is a common cause of urethritis, there are many diseases that can cause inflammation of the urethra without infection.
