Main Symptoms of Non-Gonococcal Urethritis

Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) is inflammation of the urethra caused by germs other than gonorrhea—most often chlamydia, but also common bacteria or viruses. It creeps in quietly and can mimic a plain bladder infection, so the clues are worth knowing. The star symptom is burning. It stings at the start of the stream and can linger for a few seconds after you finish. Itch or raw skin shows up at the tip. You catch yourself adjusting underwear or feel a warm tickle that doesn’t scratch away. Clear or milky discharge appears. It’s usually small—just a dot in your underwear or a... Learn more

A urethral stone is a crystal that has traveled down to the final pee pipe and gotten stuck. Because the tube is narrow, even a small chip can turn the stream into a battle.

You feel a constant need to “go again,” yet each trip ends with only drops and pain.... Learn more

It feels like hot sauce on the pee hole and is worst at the start of the stream. Urge doubles. You dash to the bathroom every twenty minutes, but only a spoonful comes out. Pain moves low. There’s a heavy, crampy ache above the pubic bone that eases right after you go. Cloud or smell shows up. The urine looks milky, smells foul, or turns light... Learn more
