Symptoms Symptoms include pain or burning while urinating, urinating frequently, and/or a pus-like discharge. You should seek medical attention even with slight symptoms. An ignored infection will only get worse, potentially leading to a more serious problem. Diagnosis A diagnosis is made based on a cultured specimen obtained from the discharge or from swabbing the urethra . A urinalysis will be performed to detect bacteria and rule out an infection of the bladder (cystitis).

NSU does not respond to penicillin and therefore anyone who suspects that they may have it should be tested immediately. What are the symptoms of nonspecific urethritis? The incubation period varies considerably but it is believed to be from one week to one month. The symptoms are usually identical to gonorrrhea however the discharge is usually thinner. Please refer to our section on gonorrhea for a more detailed account of the symptoms. If nonspecific urethritis is left untreated, it can cause complications. It can spread to the bladder which will cause pain during urinating and perhaps some bleeding. It may also spread to the testicles which will result in swelling and tenderness. If NSU spreads to the prostate there will be pain in the groin. How is nonspecific urethritis contracted?

There are two types of urethritis, gonococcal urethritis (GCU) caused by Ngisseria gonorrhoeae or gonorrhea, and non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) caused mainly by two types of Chlamydia, chlamydia trachomatis or chlamydia psittaci Millions of men in the U.S. develop urethritis annually. It is estimated that two million men are treated for GCU annually and that nearly six million men are treated for NGU annually, making NGU the most often seen STD in men. The most common site for infection in all men is the urethra. Cases of acute GCU are more common among gay men while heterosexual men account for most of the cases of NGU. Urethritis must be treated because if left untreated it can cause problems years down the road. And urethritis makes it easier to catch and pass other STDs including HIV. When you have one STD it is likely that you may have another. And if you should have urethritis, a discussion about HIV is indicated and an HIV test may be recommended. Here are some facts relating to GCU infection: The throat is infected in 40% of cases involving gay men. A number of cases are thought to be caused by fellatio. You can not only give to but get urethritis during oral sex bacteria in the mouth can infect the urethra.

What is Urethritis? Urethritis occurs when the urethra gets infected and inflamed. Oh, this is Dr. Dork on the left, I thought this would be a good time to introduce him. Just ignore him for now. What is the urethra? The urethra is a canal that carries urine from the bladder. In males it is inside of the penis and it also carries semen and sperm out of the penis. In females the urethra only carries urine from the bladder. See the male anatomy chart below: A lot of males can have urethritis and have no symptoms at all. If you have any of the symptoms below, you should see a health care provider immediately as complications can develop if the urethritis is left untreated. You should discontinue sexual intercourse until after you get medical treatment. You don't have to see Dr. Dork if you don't want to, a "health care provider" can also assess and treat you. Here is the anatomy of the penis, it is a cross-section view, obviously. Here you can see the placement of the urethra in the male anatomy.

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH, Volume 77 Number 4: Pages 452-454. April 1987. Circumcision as a Risk Factor for Urethritis in Racial Groups G REGORY L. S MITH , MD, MPH, R OBERT G REENUP AND E RNEST T AKAFUJI , MD, MPH Abstract: A retrospective population-based case-control study of sexually transmitted urethritis was conducted at a large military base over a 21-month period. During the study, 9514 patients were seen for sexually transmitted disease. The analysis was restricted to active duty males and showed that Blacks had 14.8 times the incidence rate for gonococcal urethritis (GCU) and 4.7 times the rate of nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) compared to Whites. There were slightly fewer cases of NGU than GCU. A case-control study of active duty soldiers were 1.65 times as likely to have NGU as uncircumcised subjects (95% CI): 1:37-2.00). However, circumcision was not associated with an increased incidence of GCU.

Social Hygiene Handbook - 2nd Edition NON-GONOCOCCAL URETHRITIS AND NON-SPECIFIC GENITAL INFECTION Dr. K.T. CHAN CHAPTER 27 1. DEFINITION In genito-urinary medicine, urethritis is broadly divided into gonococcal and non-gonococcal. Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) in male is referred to as inflammation of the urethra not caused by Neisseria Gonorrhoeae but some specific identifiable pathogens e.g. Chlamydia and ureaplasma or some non-specific unidentificable or unknown pathogens. Non-specific urethritis (NSU) refers to urethritis in which no identifiable pathogens have been found. Post-gonococcal urethritis refers to urethritis occurred after curative therapy for urethra gonorrhoea. In female, non-specific genital infection (NSGI) is a more preferred term as other than the urethra, vagina and cervix are the common sites for genital infections. 2. EPIDEMIOLOGY The incidence of NGU in male and NSGI in female is increasing both in Hong Kong and the rest of the world. It is the commonest sexually transmitted diseases in male and female. The incidence in recent five years is shown as follows: NGU % of Total New STD Cases NSGI % of Total New STD Cases NGU + NSGI % of Total New STD Cases 3. AETIOLOGY

Urethritis What is Urethritis? Urethritis is an inflammation of the the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). What causes Urethritis? Urethritis can be caused by a mechanical injury, an irritating chemical (antiseptic or spermacide), or by an infection. Doctors usually classify infectious Urethritis under one of two categories: Gonococcal urethritis - this is caused by gonorrhea bacteria. Non-gonococcal urethritis - this is caused by chlamydia. Other possible causes of this are Mitoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis, Ureplasmic urealyticum, and Herpes simplex virus. What are the symptoms of Urethritis? 75% of women and half of men with Non-gonococcal urethritis infection have no symptoms. Due to this, a person could spread around chlamydia and not know it. When Non-gonococcal urethritis does have symptoms, they tend to be like gonococcal urethritis. These include: redness around the urethra, frequent urination, a discharge from the end of the penis, and a burning sensation when urinating. How do I prevent myself from getting Gonococcal Urethritis?

Many men notice a discharge coming from the end of the penis with pain, irritation or discomfort on passing urine. Where does it come from? It is called `non-specific` because there are a range of different causes. Chlamydia. This is a common cause.

For both men and women it can cause a lot of damage if it is not treated i.e fertility problems. Other sexually transmitted infections. Reaction to vaginal infections. Some men develop NSU as a response to a simple infection in their partner who may not even know they have one. Injury.

Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Urethritis may be caused by the same organisms that cause urinary tract infections (for example, E. coli or klebsiella) and by some sexually transmitted diseases (for example, chlamydia gonorrhea , and Ureaplasma urealyticum infections). Viral causes of urethritis include herpes simplex virus and cytomegalovirus. Urethritis may also develop because of a chemical irritation (such as spermacide in condoms or contraceptive jelly, cream, or foam). Trauma may also cause urethritis. Men between the ages of 20 and 35, those with multiple sexual partners, and those who engage in high-risk sexual behavior (such as lack of condom use, particularly during active anal intercourse) are at higher risk. Young women in their reproductive years are also at risk. In women, common bacterial causes include gonorrhea, chlamydia

It may also be associated with a variety of systemic diseases, including emotional disorders. Urethritis may occur in either women or men. The major symptoms of urethritis, painful urination and urinary frequency , are quite common. Among the people experiencing such symptoms, 50 to 75% have either a first-time or recurrent bacterial infection of the urethra or bladder ( cystitis ), up to 10% are women with vaginitis , and the remainder are either men or women with urethral syndrome (symptoms present without any evidence of bacterial infection). Organisms that cause a variety of sexually transmitted diseases are included among the group of possible causative agents. Importantly, sexually transmitted diseases such as Chlamydia and gonorhea may cause urethritis.
