NGU refers to an infection of the urethra (the tube running from the bladder through the penis in men or the labia in women through which urine passes) caused by some agent other than gonorrhea.
NGU is most often found in men since the organisms causing this infection are sexually transmitted and the female urethra is seldom infected during intercourse.
The symptoms of NGU involve a slight burning or tingling during urination that is sometimes accompanied by a slight (usually clear) discharge (drip) from the urethra.

 Circumcision as a Risk Factor for Urethritis
There were 2,653 cases of NGU of which 2,543 were in active duty males with a resultant incidence density of 2.68/1000 persons-months for the active duty population.
For NGU, the results in Table 3 show that among this population of sexually active men, having a prepuce (being uncircumcised) was protective for acquiring NGU and there were no associations with the other variables and NGU.
Having a prepuce may be protective against NGU by effecting the physiologic milieu of the glans penis, by association with post-coital hygiene behavior, or by local immune defense mechanisms acting against the agent.

NGU is more common than GU in the U.S. and in much of the developed world; GU may account for up to 80% of the cases of acute urethritis in some undeveloped areas.
The ratio of NGU to GU is greater among groups of higher socioeconomic status in the U.S. For example, comparisons of men with NGU versus GU show that those with NGU more often are white, with higher education, higher socioeconomic status, and fewer number of sexual partners.
In 20-30% of men with NGU prostatic involvement is documented but this is usually asymptomatic and responds to standard treatment.

 Nongonococcal Urethritis
NGU is defined as urethral inflammation not caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
The Center for Disease Control currently estimates that NGU occurs at least as frequently as gonorrhea, and accounts for more than half of the urethritis cases in sexually active males attending venereal disease clinics in the U.S. Several organisms have been incriminated as causing NGU but Chlamydia trachomatis is a well documented etiology.
In the absence of urethral discharge, the most important point in the diagnosis of NGU is that there should be objective evidence of increased polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the clean-catch urine sample.

C trachomatis is clearly pathogenic in men with NGU and is found in 30% to 40% of men with NGU compared with 0% to 3% of asymptomatic men.
Evidence that U urealyticum is a pathogen in NGU rests on its greater prevalence and concentration in the urethras of men with NGU compared with men without NGU, and a better response of such men to antibiotics with activity against U urealyticum than to antibiotics with no activity against the organism.
Despite improved recognition of the spectrum of etiologic agents responsible for NGU and advances in diagnostic capabilities to detect these organisms, in clinical practice, symptomatic patients with NGU generally do not have the specific bacteriologic etiology of their infection confirmed before treatment is started but, rather, often are treated empirically.
