NGU is caused by bacterial infections of the urethra other than Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The most common cause is Chlamydia trachomatis, accounting for up to 50% of cases. Other causes include Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and occasionally Trichomonas vaginalis or other organisms.

Common symptoms include a whitish or clear discharge from the penis or vagina, burning or pain with urination, urethral itching or irritation, and in some cases no symptoms at all. Women with NGU caused by Chlamydia may be asymptomatic but can still transmit the infection and develop complications.

NGU is typically diagnosed through urine testing, urethral swabs, or nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) that detect specific pathogens like Chlamydia and Mycoplasma. A physician may also diagnose NGU clinically based on symptom presentation and the exclusion of gonorrhea.

NGU is treated with antibiotics. Doxycycline for 7 days or a single dose of azithromycin are common first-line options, particularly for Chlamydia-related NGU. Your physician may choose a different antibiotic depending on the suspected pathogen and your medical history.
