This is the tube that carries urine and semen through the penis and forms the opening at the end of the penis. Men between ages 20-35 are most at risk for developing pain with urination, as are men who have multiple sexual partners or those who engage in high-risk behaviors such as not using condoms or anal intercourse. Urethritis may be caused by the same germs that cause urinary tract infections (also called bladder infections), and the symptoms may be similar.

Go to PDF Version N.G.U. (Non-gonococcal Urethritis) 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. WHAT CAUSES NGU?

5. Digital Urology Journal: Urethritis Details about urethritis such as signs and symptoms, causes and treatments. http://www.duj.com/urethritis.html

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.

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

What is Urethritis? Urethritis occurs when the urethra gets infected and inflamed. 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. Females can also get urethritis, see bladder infections for more on that topic.
