The difference between nongonococcal urethritis and chlamydia

Condition analysis:
Not necessarily, however chlamydia is a leading cause of nongonococcal urethritis. It simply means that gonarrhea did not cause the urethritis.

Instructions:
Complications of Nongonococcal Urethritis: If treated properly, NGU can be resolved without any permanent health complications. However, if treatment is not sought, a variety of health complications can occur, including:
-- infertility
-- infection of the fallopian tubes
-- pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
-- prostate infection
-- inflammation of the testicles
-- eye infection

NGU can also be very dangerous in pregnant women. If bacteria causing NGU is present in the birth canal during labor and delivery, your baby can contract the disease. In infants, NGU can cause a number of serious health complications, including:

-- eye infection (conjunctivitis)
-- ear infection
-- lung infection (pneumonia)
