Summary

This study checks if men who had a treated urethritis infection still have signs of long-term inflammation and cell damage in their genital tract. Researchers measured a protein called elastase and markers of oxidative stress in semen 6 and 12 months after treatment. They compared 113 men who had urethritis with healthy men who never had a genital infection.
