Nongonococcal UrethritisNongonococcal Urethritis General InformationPathogen germs except those of gonorrhea causes an infection of the urethra, called Nongonococcal Urethritis abbreviated NGU. If the germs are ignored and left untreated, there can appear serious adverse effects of this disease. In most of the cases, Chlamydia is responsible with developing complications, being the main serious type of germs that cause this infection. The males and the females have equal chances of getting infected with the germs causing NGU. But the anatomical differences between the genders are a primary category after which it is proved that men get infected more often than women do. If the infection is transmitted through anal sex, both men and women are predisposed to an inflamed rectum that has the medical term of proctitis. Many unborn infants are exposed to these germs and get born with pneumonia or eye infections such as conjunctivitis. Other germs that cause Nongonococcal Urethritis are: mycoplasma genitalium, haemophilus vaginalis, ureaplasma urealyticum, herpes simplex virus, and chlamydia trachomatis and trichomonas vaginalis. All these germs are passed during unprotected sexual contacts (oral, anal or vaginal) involving directly the mucous of the contact membrane with the one of the infected person. The causes may also have some other nature than sexual, including urethral stricture (when the tube from the penis gets narrow or closed), bacterial prostatitis (when the prostate gland is infected by a bacterium), catheterization (that results after a tube is inserted into the penis) or urinary tract infections. When we talk about this disease it is very important to be precise that communicating the diagnosis to all your sexual partners may be helpful to avoid spreading NGU.Nongonococcal Urethritis SymptomsBecause of the differences of anatomical nature between the humans, the symptoms may vary from men to women and depend on what way the infection was obtained. In women, the signs may be: an unusual vaginal bleeding (warning that Nongonococcal Urethritis has progressed to pelvic inflammatory disease), abdominal pain, the feelings of burnings and pain when urinating or a discharge of the vagina. Besides these, men can observe underwear stains or may experience tenderness, itching or irritation. Although the symptoms are not many and may not manifest, someone who is infected with these germ can accuse a necessity of urinating more frequently, dysuria (sensations of burning and pain while urinating) and a cloudy/white discharge. The organisms that cause Nongonococcal Urethritis lead to oral or anal problems if the disease spread through oral or anal sex. In contrast with the oral infections that are usually asymptomatic (in 89% of the cases) or can produce a sore throat to some people, the anal infections are much more numerous and vary. They can manifest as a pain or a discharge during a bowel movement or can result in itching of the rectal area. The urethral discharge may appear more often in patients with an asymptomatic form of Nongonococcal Urethritis. The complications developed in men are: skin lesions, arthritis, conjunctivitis or infertility caused by an infection of the epididymis, called epididymitis. The worse adverse aspect that can occur in women is the miscarriage (spontaneous abortion). Other complications are: tubal (ectopic) pregnancy that results after a pelvic inflammatory disease or if this PID is recurrent it may lead to infertility.Nongonococcal Urethritis TreatmentIf you are sexually active go as much as you can for regular checks to a gynecologist. He or she will tell you what NGU is and causes that lead to this infection and what the symptoms are. It is good to know what long term implication this disease has on you and your partner life. An adequate and immediate medical intervention could help you avoid more serious problems. The diagnosis of Nongonococcal Urethritis is when gonorrhea is ruled out by a test result that is negative and if the patient presents inflammation of the urethra, called urethritis. You may have this disease and not know about it because not all STDs produce symptoms. In the case than you have sexual relationships with more than one person and you do not use condoms of latex, you should speak with your health care provider about the tests for Nongonococcal Urethritis or STDs. Testing for gonorrhea it is very easy. A Gram’s stain of the urethral discharge is viewed under a microscope and the organism that causes it can be easily to distinguish because of its distinctive appearance. A major cause of urethritis is Chlamydia and its identification demands a simple common test although in the past has demanded a much more developed technology. The cause of urethritis can be identified or not. If to this last case is adding a Chlamydia and gonorrhea negative tests, the specialists use the term NSU (non-specific urethritis). Depending on the strain of the ureaplsma, the treatment is based on the prescription and administration of the adequate antibiotics. The causes may have a big diversity of causes so that any treatment includes a broad range of antibiotics, such as doxycycline or azithromycin that have positive effects against Chlamydia. This can also be the main treatment for Nongonococcal Urethritis. Alternative medications are often used. If the symptoms last for too long, a visit to the urologist is imperative because he can identify better the cause. Not only the patient needs to be treated, but also any sexual contacts. If the organism responsible with infects women, they are predisposed to develop pelvic inflammatory disease. As many other diseases, if it is left untreated Nongonococcal Urethritis can lead to other many and serious complications such as infertility and epididymitis. If you want to reduce the risks of transmitting not only Nongonococcal Urethritis, but all those that are similar to this one, all you have to do is to always use, correctly and consistently latex condoms during a sexual contact. Another way is to practice abstinence because this assures you that you cannot acquire any sexual diseases. You should only have sex with your partner if you are sure that they are not infected. The treatment must be followed till the end even if your health state gets better because if the treatment is not completed the symptoms may return in a more serious stage. The pregnant women should be more careful because the drugs used could harm the inborn. |
