It sounds like you have urethritis, which is inflammation of the urethra.
It is caused by infection by bacteria that enter the urethra from the skin around the urethra's opening.
Within 48 hours of starting an antibiotics, blood levels of the drug are adequate for healing to begin. Continue to take all of the antibiotics for the prescribed length of time. You should continue to feel better each day. It may take up to 10 days for the symptom of urinary urgency to go away. Once your immune system has removed the infection from your body, your urethra will return to normal.
Anonymous, did your doctor tell you what type of bacteria caused the infection? Knowing the cause can help prevent a recurrence in the future.
