Abstract:
We have experienced the female urethral syndrome in many patient, but we are embarrassed in identifying the exact cause of each case and searching for the treatment modalities. I thought there was a possibility of infection or local irritation by Ureaplasma urealyticum and Chlamydia trachomatis as an evoking factor of this syndrome. We have reviewed 32 women referred to Severance Hospital who complained irritative symptom of lower urinary tract without evidence of UTI and have come to the conclusion as follows 1. There was high isolation rate of ureaplasma urealyticum and Chlamydia trachomatis in female urethral syndrome. 2. There was no difference between isolation rate and age, or menopause. 3. There was high correlation between urethral and cervical isolation.
