Urethritis is the swelling of the urethra (where urine comes out). It is often caused by Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea and Mycoplasma Genitalium. When urethritis is not caused by those STIs, it’s called a Non-Specific Urethritis (NSU) or Non-Gonococcal Urethritis (NGU).
Noticed changes down there? It’s best to be safe and get tested
NSU is passed in genital fluids. You can get it from vaginal, anal or oral sex without a condom.
NSU is only diagnosed when you have symptoms. A urine test is done to rule out other STIs.
The good news is NSU is cured with antibiotics. Make sure to let anyone you’ve had sexual contact with in the last 4 weeks know so they can get treated too.
It’s very important you don’t have sex for a week after the medication is finished to be sure it’s all clear.
