Nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) refers to a sexually transmitted disease in which there are clinical symptoms of urethritis but no gonococci can be found in urethral secretion smear or culture. It is a sexually transmitted disease whose pathogen is not clearly identified. Because when women suffer from this disease, they not only have inflammation of the urethra, but also inflammation of the reproductive tract such as cervicitis. The patient first feels discomfort in the vulva, followed by itching and pain, or a burning sensation. At the same time, the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva (including the labia majora, minora, and clitoris) may experience varying degrees of swelling and congestion. In severe cases, erosions, ulcers, or large areas of eczema may form, accompanied by painful urination and pain during sexual intercourse. In daily life, people do not pay attention to personal hygiene and the cleaning of the vulva, which allows bacteria to enter the uterine cavity and cause non-gonococcal urethritis. In women, non-gonococcal urethritis usually spreads from the cervix to other parts of the body.

Because some areas are very humid and hot and have chronic irritation, the warts will grow rapidly and eventually become shapes of different sizes, such as nipple-shaped, cauliflower-shaped, cockscomb or mushroom-shaped. These warts are very soft and will bleed easily when touched.
