What is the treatment of Urethral syndrome?

  #2

Medications include hormone replacement, anesthetics, antispasmodics, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), muscle relaxants, and alpha-blockers.
Behavioral therapy, including biofeedback, meditation, and hypnosis, has been used with some success. Biofeedback has the most promise for individuals whose symptoms are due to a failure to relax the pelvic musculature during voiding. Attempts at relaxation while undergoing electromyelography monitoring can help the patient retrain their muscles to allow them to void normally.
Dietary therapy is geared primarily at increasing urinary pH.
