The most common causes are sexually transmitted infections, particularly gonorrhea (caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae) and chlamydia (caused by Chlamydia trachomatis). Non-gonococcal urethritis from organisms such as Mycoplasma genitalium or Ureaplasma is also frequent. Less commonly, Trichomonas vaginalis or a urinary tract infection may be responsible.

Diagnosis typically involves a urethral swab or first-void urine sample tested by nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) for gonorrhea and chlamydia. A clinician may also assess for other pathogens based on your symptom history and exposure risk. Doctronic physicians review your reported symptoms and history to recommend appropriate next steps, including lab testing.
