N. G. U. WHAT IS NGU? Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) is an inflammation of the urethra that is not caused by gonorrhea. The urethra is a narrow tube that allows the urine to drain from the bladder. Both men and women can have urethritis, but NGU is more common in males and is usually contracted during sexual activity. All patients who experience symptoms should be tested for both gonorrhea and Chlamydia. Infections of the prostate and testicles may result if an infection is not identified and treated. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF NGU? Burning during or after urination is the primary symptom. There may also be a discharge visible at the tip of the penis, especially early in the morning. The discharge may be thick or thin and is usually light yellow in color. Often men report seeing a stain on their underwear but deny seeing a discharge. The symptoms usually appear within 3-21 days after exposure and may last only a few hours or days. Even if the symptoms go away spontaneously, the infection will still be present and treatment is needed. Occasionally no symptoms are reported but an infection is diagnosed after a man’s partner has been diagnosed with an infection or when a routine sexually transmitted infection (STI) screen is done.

For diagnosis, a physical examination and medical history will be conducted. A culture of urethral discharge and urine will also be taken. SYMPTOMS OF URETHRITIS burning pain when urinating or ejaculating frequent need to urinate discharge from the tip of the penis Call your doctor if you have any of these symptoms. HOW TO PREVENT URETHRITIS Use a condom during sexual intercourse. Use mild, unscented soaps when bathing. Take showers instead of baths. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water each day. Avoid drinking caffeine and alcohol they can irritate the bladder. TREATMENT FOR URETHRITIS Antibiotics can be prescribed to treat the bacterial infection. The effectiveness of the antibiotics can be enhanced by drinking cranberry juice. Analgesics can be taken to relieve the pain. If a sexually transmitted disease is the cause, both partners will need to be treated to prevent re-infection.

URETHRITIS Urethritis refers to a syndrome of inflammation of the urethra . It is also often called NSU (non-specific urethritis) or NGU (non-gonococcal urethritis). It is usually a sexually transmitted disease. Symptoms and Signs The classic signs and symptoms of NSU are burning upon urination and a light discharge. While a heavier, thicker discharge may occur this is usually more suggestive of gonorrhea. At times there may be no discharge at all and the only complaint may be a urethral itch. Causes and Treatment of NSU The most common cause of NSU is a microorganism called Chlamydia. It may also be caused by Ureaplasma (a different microorganism) or with lesser frequency a variety of others. Often it is difficult to know the exact cause of non-specific urethritis (hence the term "non-specific"). Because NSU is a syndrome caused by different organisms, treatment results are inconsistent. Current treatment recommendations usually include Tetracycline or Doxycycline or Erthyromycin. Other drugs are also commonly used. Because the sexual partner may also carry the infecting microorganism, it is important to treat each simultaneouly. Information provided by GU Logic (800) 451-8107.

Urethritis Urethritis is the inflammation of the urethra, the tube leading from the bladder to void urine outside the body. Most cases of urethritis is caused by infection to the urethra but urethritis can also be caused by trauma or an irritant to the urethra. Most cases of urethritis will clear up with a proper course of antibiotics. If your cat has any trouble with urination take him/her to the vet immediately to be tested for urethritis as well as for more serious problems of bladder stones, cystitis and FLUTD/FUS Symptoms to look for: Straining to urinate Difficulty in urinating Frequent urination with little urine Painful urination Urinating outside of the box Blood in the urine Treatment: Your vet will check a urine sample for pH, for the presence of infection, and for crystals. The presence of crystals may indicate that your cat has cystitis or FLUTD/FUS . Once urethritis has been determined (and cystitis and FUS/FLUTD has been ruled out) your cat will be put on a course of antibiotics to clear up the infection. Precautionary measures: Make sure your cat drinks plenty of water as this will help to flush out any bacteria that could be in the system. Cats, as we all know, can be quite finicky so keep his/her water bowl clean and full. Many cats dislike the taste of plastic so try to keep food and water in porcelain or glass bowls. Keep your cat's litterbox clean and as free of bacteria as possible. This will help limit the spread of bacteria. Also many cats will hold their urine if a box is not clean. This can also lead to infection. Feed your cat only a high-quality, vet-approved diet that is low in magnesium and promotes good urinary tract health.

Colposcopy Cryotherapy Pap Smears Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) What is NGU? NGU is an infection of the urine passage or urethra. It is acquired through sexual intercourse with an infected partner and is, therefore, considered a sexually transmitted disease. NGU is caused by several different kinds of bacteria or other organisms. Chlamydia is the most common cause. In many cases, the exact cause is unknown. NGU is not related to change in sexual activity, physical exhaustion or strain, allergies, or alcohol consumption. What are the symptoms? Infection of the urethra may cause burning with urination or a discharge of either mucus or pus from the urethra. The infection usually starts 7 to 21 days after having sex with an infected partner. In a man, the infection also could be present in the epididymis, causing testicular pain or swelling, or both. Women who are infected might also have vaginal symptoms, such as a discharge or vaginal bleeding. Symptoms may include pelvic pain if the infection occurs in the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries. The symptoms often are mild, however, and some infected men and women have no symptoms at all How is NGU diagnosed?

8. Virtual Naval Hospital: General Medical Officer Manual: Clinical Section Although the clinical spectrum of gonococcal urethritis and nongonococcal urethritis differ, there is often so much http://www.vnh.org/GMO/ClinicalSection/105Urethritis.html

General Medical Officer (GMO) Manual: Clinical Section: Urologic/Renal Disorders Urethritis Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed (1) Introduction Urethritis represents one of the more common syndromes seen by the general medical officer. It consists of urethral discharge, dysuria, and evidence of a urethral polymorphonuclear leukocytosis. It implies urethral inflammation or infection and is usually sexually acquired. (2) Causative Agents Urethritis is classified as either gonococcal urethritis (GCU) if caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or as nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) if caused by other infectious etiologies. The term nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) is more appropriate than the older term nonspecific urethritis (NSU), since there are specific causes for NGU. Chlamydia trachomatis or Ureaplasma urealyticum are the most frequent causes of NGU. Postgonococcal urethritis (PGU) is nongonococcal urethritis occurring shortly after therapy for urethral gonorrhea and is usually due to Chlamydia trachomatis. (3) Gonococcal vs Non-gonococcal Urethritis (4) Diagnosis of Urethritis The diagnosis of urethritis should be based upon both a physical exam and microscopic assessment of the urethral material. It is preferable to examine the patient at least 2 hours after micturition or before their first morning void. The patient should provide a first morning void and the first 10 to 15 cc. of the urine is saved. It is centrifuged so that the sediment may be analyzed microscopically under high power or oil immersion field. The presence of 10 or more polymorphonuclear leukocytes seen under high power is suggestive of urethritis.

Urethral Irritation Urethritis is inflammation of the urethra (the passage in the penis that urine and semen pass through). It has several causes, the most common are chlamydia or gonorrhoea, but other bacteria may be involved. Often the cause is not identified. Symptoms There are no symptoms at all. When symptoms are present, they may include: discharge (milky or pus-like) from the penis stinging or burning during urination itching, tingling, burning or irritation inside the penis. Diagnosis If someone has any of the symptoms described above, special tests are required to find out if the person has urethritis. The doctor gently inserts a swab into the urethra. The swab is then examined in the laboratory for signs of infection. Swabs should be taken 3 or 4 hours after the person last passed urine. At the STD clinic, if an infection is present, it can sometimes be detected on the same day. However, it usually takes several days for chlamydia and gonorrhoea results to become available.

More Emergency Medicine Resources Back to table of contents 7.04 Urethritis (Drip) Presentation A male complains of dysuria, a burning discomfort along the urethra, or a urethral discharge. A copious, thick, yellow- green discharge which stains underwear is characteristic of gonorrhea, whereas a thin, white, scant discharge with milder symptoms is characteristic of chlamydia. Urethritis in a female may be asymptomatic or indistinguishable from cystitis or vaginitis, or may be manifest as UTI symptoms with a low concentration of bacteria on urine culture, or tenderness localized to the anterior vaginal wall. In addition to increased vaginal discharge, women may have intermenstrual bleeding, especially postcoital spotting and cervical friability. What to do: Gram stain any urethral discharge, looking for gram- negative diplococci inside white cells, which imply gonococcal infection. Order a serologic test for established syphilis. Further antibiotic treatment is required if the RPR or VDRL is positive . Examine the urine sediment for swimming protozoa, implying infection with Trichomonas vaginalis, best treated with metronidazole (Flagyl) 250mg qid x 7d, or 2gm po once.

Resources Related issues: Talking With Kids About Tough Issues AIDS Bacterial Vaginosis Blue Balls ... Yeast Infection What is NGU? NGU (NonGonococcal Urethritis) is an infection of the urethra caused by pathogens (germs) other than gonorrhea. How common is NGU? Several types of germs cause NGU, the most common and serious is chlamydia. Chlamydia is very common in both males and females. The diagnosis of NGU is more commonly made in males than in females, mainly due to the anatomical differences. Germs that can cause NGU include but are not limited to: Chlamydia trachomatis (most common) Ureaplasma urealyticum Trichomonas vaginalis (rare) Herpes simplex virus (rare) Adenovirus Haemophilus vaginalis Mycoplasm genitalium How can I get NGU? Sexual: Most germs that cause NGU can be passed during sex (vaginal, anal or oral) that involves direct mucous membrane contact with an infected person. These germs can be passed even if the penis or tongue does not go all the way into the vagina, mouth or rectum, and even if body fluids are not exchanged.
