How do I know if I have nongonococcal urethritis?

Condition analysis:
If you think you have NGU, or any STI, contact your health care provider. He or she will examine you and perform tests, if necessary, to determine if you have an STI. A sample of fluid is taken from the penis and tested for the germs that cause gonorrhea and chlamydia. Notably, 20% of men with gonorrhea are co-infected with Chlamydia. Testing for HIV and other STIs should also be done in confirmed cases of NGU.

Who Gets Nongonococcal Urethritis: Nongonococcal urethritis is a very common STD in the United States, responsible for more than 600,000 infections every year. NGU can affect both men and women, however it occurs much more commonly in men between the ages of 15 and 30. This is because the male urethra is prone to infection more frequently than the female urethra. Though any sexually active man or woman can contract NGU, your risk for developing the infection increases if you:

-- engage in unprotected sexual activities
-- have multiple sex partners
