http://www.coolnurse.com/urethritis.htm

Extractions: What is Urethritis? Urethritis occurs when the urethra gets infected and inflamed. This is Dr. Dork on the left, I thought this would be a good time to introduce him. Just ignore him for now. What is the urethra? The urethra is a canal that carries urine from the bladder. In males it is inside of the penis and it also carries semen and sperm out of the penis. In females the urethra only carries urine from the bladder. See the male anatomy chart below: A lot of males can have urethritis and have no symptoms at all. If you have any of the symptoms below, you should see a health care provider immediately as complications can develop if the urethritis is left untreated. You should discontinue sexual intercourse until after you get medical treatment. You don't have to see Dr. Dork if you don't want to, a "health care provider" can also assess and treat you. Females can also get urethritis, see bladder infections for more on that topic.

http://www.duj.com/urethritis.html

Extractions: URETHRITIS Urethritis refers to a syndrome of inflammation of the urethra . It is also often called NSU (non-specific urethritis) or NGU (non-gonococcal urethritis). It is usually a sexually transmitted disease. Symptoms and Signs The classic signs and symptoms of NSU are burning upon urination and a light discharge. While a heavier, thicker discharge may occur this is usually more suggestive of gonorrhea. At times there may be no discharge at all and the only complaint may be a urethral itch. Causes and Treatment of NSU The most common cause of NSU is a microorganism called Chlamydia. It may also be caused by Ureaplasma (a different microorganism) or with lesser frequency a variety of others. Often it is difficult to know the exact cause of non-specific urethritis (hence the term "non-specific"). Because NSU is a syndrome caused by different organisms, treatment results are inconsistent. Current treatment recommendations usually include Tetracycline or Doxycycline or Erthyromycin. Other drugs are also commonly used. Because the sexual partner may also carry the infecting microorganism, it is important to treat each simultaneouly. Information provided by GU Logic (800) 451-8107.

A definition of nongonococcal urethritis as well as details like the causes, signs and symptoms and treatment.
http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/health-info/dis-cond/commdis/ngu.html

Extractions: Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) is an inflammation of the urethra that is not caused by gonorrhea. The urethra is a narrow tube that allows the urine to drain from the bladder. Both men and women can have urethritis, but NGU is more common in males and is usually contracted during sexual activity. All patients who experience symptoms should be tested for both gonorrhea and Chlamydia. Infections of the prostate and testicles may result if an infection is not identified and treated. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF NGU? Burning during or after urination is the primary symptom. There may also be a discharge visible at the tip of the penis, especially early in the morning. The discharge may be thick or thin and is usually light yellow in color. Often men report seeing a stain on their underwear but deny seeing a discharge. The symptoms usually appear within 3-21 days after exposure and may last only a few hours or days. Even if the symptoms go away spontaneously, the infection will still be present and treatment is needed. Occasionally no symptoms are reported but an infection is diagnosed after a mans partner has been diagnosed with an infection or when a routine sexually transmitted infection (STI) screen is done.

Colposcopy Cryotherapy Pap Smears Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) What is NGU? NGU is an infection of the urine passage or urethra. It is acquired through sexual intercourse with an infected partner and is, therefore, considered a sexually transmitted disease. NGU is caused by several different kinds of bacteria or other organisms. Chlamydia is the most common cause. In many cases, the exact cause is unknown. NGU is not related to change in sexual activity, physical exhaustion or strain, allergies, or alcohol consumption. What are the symptoms? Infection of the urethra may cause burning with urination or a discharge of either mucus or pus from the urethra. The infection usually starts 7 to 21 days after having sex with an infected partner. In a man, the infection also could be present in the epididymis, causing testicular pain or swelling, or both. Women who are infected might also have vaginal symptoms, such as a discharge or vaginal bleeding. Symptoms may include pelvic pain if the infection occurs in the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries. The symptoms often are mild, however, and some infected men and women have no symptoms at all How is NGU diagnosed?

Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Urethritis may be caused by the same organisms that cause urinary tract infections (for example, E. coli or klebsiella) and by some sexually transmitted diseases (for example, chlamydia gonorrhea , and Ureaplasma urealyticum infections). Viral causes of urethritis include herpes simplex virus and cytomegalovirus. Urethritis may also develop because of a chemical irritation (such as spermacide in condoms or contraceptive jelly, cream, or foam). Trauma may also cause urethritis. Men between the ages of 20 and 35, those with multiple sexual partners, and those who engage in high-risk sexual behavior (such as lack of condom use, particularly during active anal intercourse) are at higher risk. Young women in their reproductive years are also at risk. In women, common bacterial causes include gonorrhea, chlamydia, mycoplasma hominis ureaplasma urealyticum , and mycoplasma genitalum . Risk factors include age younger than 20, unmarried status, inner-city population, multiple partners, and a prior history of STDs (sexually transmitted diseases).

http://www.vnh.org/GMO/ClinicalSection/105Urethritis.html

Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed (1) Introduction Urethritis represents one of the more common syndromes seen by the general medical officer. It consists of urethral discharge, dysuria, and evidence of a urethral polymorphonuclear leukocytosis. It implies urethral inflammation or infection and is usually sexually acquired. (2) Causative Agents Urethritis is classified as either gonococcal urethritis (GCU) if caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or as nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) if caused by other infectious etiologies. The term nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) is more appropriate than the older term nonspecific urethritis (NSU), since there are specific causes for NGU. Chlamydia trachomatis or Ureaplasma urealyticum are the most frequent causes of NGU. Postgonococcal urethritis (PGU) is nongonococcal urethritis occurring shortly after therapy for urethral gonorrhea and is usually due to Chlamydia trachomatis. (3) Gonococcal vs Non-gonococcal Urethritis (4) Diagnosis of Urethritis The diagnosis of urethritis should be based upon both a physical exam and microscopic assessment of the urethral material. It is preferable to examine the patient at least 2 hours after micturition or before their first morning void. The patient should provide a first morning void and the first 10 to 15 cc. of the urine is saved. It is centrifuged so that the sediment may be analyzed microscopically under high power or oil immersion field. The presence of 10 or more polymorphonuclear leukocytes seen under high power is suggestive of urethritis.

Extractions: SymptomSolutions, Inc. The New Look Of Health And Wellness Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra (tube that carries urine from the bladder to exit the body). This condition is more common in women. Symptoms - Symptoms may include painful or burning urination and a frequent urge to urinate. A cloudy discharge from the end of the urethra may be seen. Cause - Urethritis may be caused by an infection of bacteria, yeast, or Chlamydia (may be transmitted sexually). Some bath oils or beads, or contraceptive creams can be irritating to sensitive persons and have been considered a possible cause of urethritis. Also, bacteria (E. coli) may spread to the urethra from the anus (i.e. poor hygiene). Young girls should be taught to wipe front to back following bowel movements to prevent spread. Diagnosis - Observation of the aforementioned symptoms will be noted and may need to be evaluated by a physician. The evaluation may include a physical examination and analysis of urine or any discharge. Treatment - A physician may prescribe antibiotics to counter any infection. Any irritants should be identified and avoided. Warm baths may ease discomfort and it is important to clean the area gently with unscented soap several times daily. Prescription or over-the-counter pain relievers may be used.
