Candida urethriits?: Candida albicans (and other candida species) is often carried in the genital area and isn't necessarily abnormal. However, there are no reports of C. auris genital infection. Candida is a rare cause of urethrits, but if your doctor is confident you have it, I see no reason not to try treatment with fluconazole. But don't worry about C. auris. Good luck.
