Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Urethritis means infection of urethra.
Since Tamsulosin is for enlarged prostate ( for reduction in the size of prostate).
If urethritis then it is Non-gonococcal and usually self-limiting disease.
Oxytetracycline 500 mg capsule orally four times a day cures within 5-7 days.
First note down that you have urethritis ?
However it may have stricture in urethra .
Good luck.
Dr. HET
