	Non-gonococcal urethritis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) is an inflammation of the urethra which is not caused by gonorrheal infection.
		Urethritis can be caused by a number of organisms, including Neisseria gonorrheae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis, Herpes simplex virus, and Candida albicans, and by a number of non-infectious causes, including urethral stricture, foreign bodies, trauma, Reiter's syndrome, and various autoimmune and allergic conditions.
		Thus, one of the major causes of urethritis can be identified by a simple common test, and the distinction between gonococcal and non-gonococcal urethritis arose historically for this reason.

	Urethritis : Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) : NYC DOHMH
		Urethritis is an inflammation (irritation) of the urethra, the tube that drains the bladder.
		Urethritis is usually the result of infection with a sexually transmitted disease (STD), such as chlamydia or other similar bacteria.
		Because urethritis in women is often accompanied by inflammation of the cervix, a woman may also experience abnormal vaginal discharge; bloody spotting between menstrual periods; pain during or after vaginal sex, and spotting after sex.

	ENLmedical.com: Conditions And Concerns: Medical Encyclopedia: Urethritis
		Urethritis may be caused by the same organisms that cause bladder or kidney infections (for example, E coli or Klebsiella) and some sexually-transmitted diseases (for example, Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and Ureaplasma urealyticum infections).
		Urethritis may also develop because of a chemical sensitivity that results in irritation (such as spermatocide in condoms, contraceptive jelly, cream, or foam).
		Urethritis caused by trauma or chemical irritants is treated by avoiding the precipitating factors.

	► Chronic urethritis
		Chronic urethritis is an inflammation (irritation with swelling and presence of extra immune cells) of the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the body) that continues for weeks to months.
		Chronic urethritis is usually caused either by a bacterial infection or structural problem (narrowing of the urethra).
		Among the people experiencing such symptoms, 50 to 75% have either a first-time or recurrent bacterial infection of the urethra or bladder (cystitis), up to 10% are women with vaginitis, and the remainder are either men or women with urethral syndrome (symptoms present without any evidence of bacterial infection).

		Postgonococcal urethritis (PGU) is nongonococcal urethritis occurring shortly after therapy for urethral gonorrhea and is usually due to Chlamydia trachomatis.
		Non-gonococcal urethritis may be asymptomatic in up to 25 percent of infected men (5-10 percent in young active duty men), and in over 50 percent of infected women.
		The diagnosis of urethritis should be based upon both a physical exam and microscopic assessment of the urethral material.

		Urethritis is infection of the urethra, the channel that carries urine from the bladder out of the body.

		Background: Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra caused by infection.
		Infectious causes of urethritis are typically sexually transmitted and categorized as either GU (ie, due to infections with Neisseria gonorrhoeae) or NGU (ie, due to infections with Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, or Trichomonas vaginalis).
		Urethritis occurs equally in males and females; however, data may be skewed because urethritis is underrecognized in women.
