In three-quarters of the patients with urethral syndrome, chronic urethritis was found endoscopically. Of the remainder some precentage could be said to have a psychosomatic disorder. Therefore, the patients with unexplained urethral syndrome were unexpectedly few. Although urethral syndrome attacks adult females of all ages, the incidence was highest in the middle age range. Against this, chronic bacterial cystitis was spread evenly over the entire age range. The urethra was rather narrow in women with urethritis, but of normal size in those without urethritis, even if they had urethral syndrome. A satisfactory result was obtained through the topical administration of steroid solution, even where general treatments, including the use of antibiotics, have failed.
在四分之三的尿道综合征患者中，通过内镜检查发现患有慢性尿道炎。其余患者中，有一定比例可被认为患有身心障碍。因此，原因不明的尿道综合征患者出乎意料地少。虽然尿道综合征可侵袭各年龄段的成年女性，但发病率在中年范围最高。相比之下，慢性细菌性膀胱炎在整个年龄范围内分布均匀。患尿道炎的女性尿道相当狭窄，但未患尿道炎的女性，即使有尿道综合征，其尿道大小正常。即使包括使用抗生素在内的一般治疗均告失败，局部应用类固醇溶液仍取得了满意的效果。
