What causes non-gonococcal urethritis?

Non-gonococcal urethritis is a relatively common multi-disease complex disease that occurs in both males and females. When the disease occurs, the patient often feels itchy urethra, urgency, difficulty urinating, etc. Any discomfort in the body will bother people's normal life and work. So what is the cause of non-gonococcal urethritis? Let's take a look at the following introduction.

1. Symptoms

There is urethral itching, burning sensation and painful urination. A few people have frequent urination and slight redness of the urethral opening. In the morning, there is a small amount of mucous secretion at the urethral opening or only a crusty opening, or the crotch is dirty, and the urine stream splits when urinating. Some patients need to squeeze hard with their hands to make secretions overflow from the urethra. Symptoms are similar to those of gonococcal urethritis but are milder. Some patients are asymptomatic. The patient was doubly infected with gonorrhea. Accompanying symptoms include epididymitis: the infection extends along the vas deferens to the epididymis, and the typical symptoms are the coexistence of urethritis and epididymitis. The most common form is acute epididymitis, which is usually unilateral and is often caused by a variant of the trachoma organism. Prostatitis: Subacute prostatitis is more common, while chronic prostatitis may be asymptomatic or may cause dull pain in the perineum and pain in the penis. Reoter syndrome: occurs in 0.8%-3% of NGU patients, more common in men than in women. Including urethritis, polyarthritis and conjunctivitis, etc.

2. Reasons

Often associated with sex life. The cause of non-gonococcal urethritis in men is also closely related to sexual life. Unclean sexual life can easily cause urinary tract infection. Inflammation of adjacent organs: Inflammation of adjacent organs can also lead to the occurrence of non-gonococcal urethritis. For example, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, vaginitis or cervicitis can spread to the urethra, which is often a stubborn lesion of chronic posterior urethritis. Foreign bodies in the urethra: Foreign bodies in the male urethra may also cause non-gonococcal urethritis. Foreign objects introduced from outside or stones in the urethra can cause urinary tract infection if the urination is stopped for a long time. Urethral injury: Urethral mucosal abrasions caused by urethral instrument examination can destroy the defense function of the urethral mucosa and lead to bacterial infection.

3. Notes:

Adhere to regular treatment and avoid giving up halfway. This is beneficial for eliminating the source of infection and preventing complications. Abstaining from sexual intercourse for at least 2 weeks before and after treatment will help the disease heal completely. A follow-up examination is required after completing treatment to assess whether the patient has truly recovered. If symptoms persist or recur, you should go to a regular hospital's relevant specialist department for examination. Eliminate anxiety and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. Adhere to medication and use pure Chinese medicine to reduce drug resistance, drug toxicity and recurrence rate. Get some rest. During the acute infection period, the patient may have obvious urinary tract irritation symptoms or fever and should rest in bed. He or she can get out of bed and move around after the body temperature returns to normal. Chronic patients should also rest appropriately according to their condition to prevent reinfection due to low immunity caused by excessive fatigue.

The above is all the relevant content about non-gonococcal urethritis. I hope it can be helpful to friends who need it. All diseases are caused by irregular living habits and consciousness habits. If you are sick, seek treatment immediately. Once the best treatment time is delayed, the condition will inevitably worsen. So everyone must pay attention to their health.
