Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Men's sexual health Urethritis, or what? Originally Published: April 02, 2004 Alice, My boyfriend has had pain during urination and ejaculation. We have been only with each other for the last past year and neither of us have std's. The info I have found on the internet makes me believe maybe he has urethritis. My question is, can you cause damage to the urethra during oral sex? I don't want to get to personal, so I will leave it alone, but I want to know, can you cause damage due to any force to the urethral opening? Dear Reader, It's unclear from your question whether your boyfriend always or only sometimes has pain with urination and ejaculation. A good guideline to use is that whenever someone has either constant or recurrent pain, it's time to confer with a health care provider to get some answers. In order to diagnose an infection in your boyfriend's reproductive/urinary tract, he usually needs to provide a urine sample for testing. A sterile swab may be inserted into the tip of his penis to get material from the urethra for analysis. Pressure on the prostate may be applied during a rectal exam, in order to obtain prostate fluid for examination. If your boyfriend does have an infection, it will probably be treated with antibiotics directed against the specific organism that is identified. Sometimes, even if no organism is identified, a trial of antibiotics is given, to see if the symptoms are relieved. If antibiotics don't relieve your boyfriend's symptoms, he may be referred to a specialist in the urinary tract (urologist), who may wish to use a magnifying scope instrument to examine your boyfriend's urinary tract in an attempt to figure out why he is having such regular discomfort and pain.

105. Dr Thom's Expert Health Clinic NSU) NSU is mainly detected in men and is a vague diagnosis. For a start look at what the diagnosis means the urethra is what men http://www.drthom.com/info/s_ureth.htm

Chlamydia Non-specific Urethritis Warts Herpes Thrush Bacterial Vaginosis ... Cystitis (NSU) NSU is mainly detected in men and is a vague diagnosis. For a start look at what the diagnosis means: the urethra is what men pee out of and anything with "-itis" attached to it indicates inflammation (for example the appendix and appendicitis). In other words NSU means 'non-specific inflammation from where you pee'. Does that sound very scientific to you? Exactly - it’s a vague diagnosis. The dilemma is that while inflammation may not necessarily indicate infection, a lot of infections, most notably chlamydia, do cause inflammation. In addition inflammation can be diagnosed on the urethral sample (by looking for evidence of pus cells under the microscope) while you wait, whereas waiting to see if chlamydia is the cause of it takes up to a week. So in effect the doctor’s thought process works like this: "My patient has evidence of inflammation (i.e. has NSU) and I know that NSU can be caused by infections such as chlamydia (40% of the time in fact) but it will take me a week to find out so I’ll treat him with antibiotics now to cover that option and get a head-start". If it turns out that chlamydia is the cause of the NSU (when the result comes back in a week), then there has been no delay in treatment, you’re well on the way to recovery and you should refer to the
