First seen Feb 17, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study checked if men who had a treated urethritis infection develop long-term inflammation in their genital tract. Researchers measured a marker called elastase in semen 6 and 12 months after treatment, and also looked for signs of oxidative stress. They compared 113 men who had urethritis to a control group of healthy men. The goal was to understand if the infection causes lasting damage, not to test a new treatment.
