title: The tratment of non-specific urethritis.
abstract: The treatment of non-specific urethritis should aim at curing the individual, preventing reinfection and eliminating the pool of infection from the community. Tetracyclines, the rubber condom and sound advice are the basis of treatment. Many patients have symptoms that arise from anxiety and guilt rather than from infection, and this possibility calls for special consideration. It is emphasized that non-specific urethritis can be eliminated from our community by existing means. The favourable outlook merits an active and positive approach to treatment.
