The main pathogens of NGU are Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum. Therefore, in general, patients can not be diagnosed as NGU through urine examination. Many patients are normal through routine urine examination before they are excluded, so it is inaccurate to have urine examinations to be diagnosed.

What causes recurrent NGU? How should patients prevent it?

As non-gonococcal urethritis is a sexually transmitted disease, it is easy to spread through sex. Therefore, it is recommended that couples go to the hospital together for examinations.

2. No full course of treatment: Because the latent period of NGU is relatively long and the self-conscious symptoms are not obvious, it is often neglected and not treated in time, leading to the repeated condition.

3. Non-standard drug use: It will affect the curative effect. Many patients were diagnosed, and they will take the medication for few days, when they feel symptoms have been improved or disappeared, they will naturally think that they have been cured and will stop the treatment, but the symptoms appear again soon, leading to recurrent NGU.

Patients should adhere to regular treatment and avoid giving up the treatment halfway. When the treatment is completed, you need to go to the hospital for review or evaluation. If symptoms persist or recur, they should be checked immediately. NGU may be caused by infection through sexual contact, so sexual contact should be avoided, and diaphragmatic contraceptive devices such as condoms should be used before patients and their sexual partners are completely cured.
