Symptoms of Nongonococcal Uretritis
I already wrote about chlamydia and chlamydia. In addition, it is important to know the symptoms are infected with chlamydia. Nongonococcal uretritis (NGU) is an infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and other organisms, but not the causative agent of gonorrhea. Half of all cases of NGU are due to an infection of Chlamydiae. Worldwide NGU is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in men.
Symptoms of NGU caused by Chlamydiae are manifested after an incubation period that lasts from 5 to 30 days. In men, the initial focus of chlamydial infection is the mucous membrane of the urethra. Chlamydia is most often seen in men as a slight inflammation of the urethra, which is chronic and lasts at least several months. NGU often develops minor symptoms. Within 1-6 weeks after you have become infected with Nongonococcal Uretritis , the following symptoms may appear:
Pain on urinating, especially in the first time in the morning
Discharge from the penis
Redness and discomfort at the opening of the urethra.
In men Nongonococcal Uretritis can lead to various complications. Symptoms of chlamydial epididymo-orchitis (inflammation of testes and epididymides) develop after Chlamydiae have spread to the testes and epididymides. The scrotum becomes sharply painful on palpation, swelling, hot to the touch. Chronic unilateral epididymo-orchitis and prostatitis are accompanied by disorders of sexual potency and spermiogram.
Chlamydial prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland) is a frequent complication of Nongonococcal Uretritis. Patients complain of discharge from the urethra, itching, recurrent pain in the groin, scrotum, and sacrum. Chlamydial infection can trigger an immune response that leads to inflammation of joints (reactive arthritis).
If your doctor suspects that you show the symptoms of Nongonococcal Uretritis, he or she takes a swab from your urethra and a urine sample to check for the presence of Chlamidiae. Tests for the other sexually transmitted diseases may carry out at the same time.
