Patients' complaints depend on the localization of the infection. When the urethra is affected (the most common localization), the usual symptoms are painful sensations during urination: stinging, burning, itching; dysuric phenomena: frequent urination, urination with small portions of urine, feeling of incomplete urination. Patients may self-report the occurrence of purulent discharge from the urethra. However, the complaints may disappear within a short time.
