Urethritis refers to irritation or inflammation of the urethra. The urethra is the tube that empties urine from the bladder. A woman's urethra is short (about 2 inches long), and the opening is just above the vagina. Because the opening of the urethra is so close to the vagina and anus, bacteria can easily enter it from these areas. How does it occur? Most often urethritis results from a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Examples of STDs are chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes simplex virus, and human papilloma virus, and trichomoniasis. In most older women, the tissues of the urethra and bladder become thinner and drier after menopause because of a lack of the female hormone estrogen. This is the usual cause of urethritis in older women.

Top 10 F.A.Q. Who's Dr. K? Ask a Question NON-GONOCOCCAL URETHRITIS QUESTION I recently had a bout with NGU but I'm frustrated to not have a final answer. My symptoms were as follows: Late morning, I had a bit of discomfort after urination. By early evening, the pain and burning increased tremendously and I had a slight clear, yellowish discharge. I went to the hospital and had a urinalysis. Swabs were then taken of the discharge and tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Both tests were negative and the gram stain showed many WBC and no organisms. I was treated with tetracycline and my symptoms cleared up really quickly. I did have a new sexual partner 14 days before this happened. She had no symptoms, but I was given a prescription to give to her anyway. If I didn't have gonorrhea or chlamydia, what could explain the pain and discharge? ANSWER There are several sexually transmitted infections bacteria and viruses that cause urethritis and can be carried in the throats, rectums, and vaginas of people. Examples are mycoplasma genitalium, ureaplasmas, trichomoniasis , as well as certain streptococcus and haemophilus species.

ABOUT US Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonials Overview Nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) is a nongonorrheal bacterial infection of the urethra (tube that carries urine out of the body) in men. NGU involves Chlamydia trachomatis , which causes chlamydia. The term NGU refers to the condition in men and chlamydia refers to the condition in women. Incidence and Prevalence According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chlamydia is the most common bacterial infection in the United States. The CDC estimates that 3 million new cases occur each year; however, because as many as 75% of infected women and 50% of infected men do not experience symptoms, only about 500,000 cases are reported annually. Chlamydia is most prevalent among teenagers. Nearly 75% of all new cases occur in women under the age of 25. By age 30, 50% of sexually active women have been exposed to chlamydia. NGU is the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted disease in men in the United States.

108. Poliomyelitis Poliomyelitis is a disorder caused by a viral infection (poliovirus) that can affect the whole body, including muscles and nerves. http://www.ehendrick.org/healthy/001402.htm

Injury Disease Nutrition Poison ... Prevention Poliomyelitis Definition Poliomyelitis is a disorder caused by a viral infection (poliovirus) that can affect the whole body, including muscles and nerves. Severe cases may cause permanent paralysis or death. Alternative Names Polio; Infantile paralysis Causes Poliomyelitis is a communicable disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Transmission of the virus occurs by direct person-to-person contact, by contact with infected secretions from the nose or mouth, or by contact with infected feces. The virus enters through the mouth and nose, multiplies in the throat and intestinal tract, and then is absorbed and spread through the blood and lymph system . Incubation (the time from being infected with the virus to developing symtoms of disease) ranges from 5 to 35 days (average 7 to 14 days). Risks include: lack of immunization against polio travel to an area that has experienced a polio outbreak pregnancy; very old or very young age trauma to the mouth/nose/throat, such as recent tonsillectomy or dental surgery unusual stress or physical exertion after an exposure to poliovirus (emotional and physical stress can weaken the immune system) Polio occurs worldwide. However, no cases of polio have been reported in the United States in recent years. (The last case of non-vaccine related polio acquired in the United States was in 1979.)
