Idiopathic urethritis (IU) is difficult to manage and there is no standarized therapy. The technique of local steroid injection (LSI) for the treatment of IU in children and the results of the patients undergoing LSI from 2020 to 2021 in a single center are presented. Seven patients with IU underwent LSI. An internal urethrotomy was also performed in two patients with stricture. Complete resolution of symptoms and signs occurred in six patients. The remaining patient did not achieve total remission but did substantially improve symptoms. LSI seems to be an effective alternative for treatment of IU in children.
