Non-Gonococcal Urethritis (NGU) and Non-Specific Urethritis (NSU) affect many people and often cause worry. They are conditions that cause inflammation of the urethra, not resulting from gonorrhoea, a common sexually transmitted infection. NGU and NSU can occur from various causes, such as infection or irritation, and in some cases, the exact cause remains unknown. Understanding these conditions is essential and the first step in ensuring your well-being and sexual health.
If you experience symptoms such as unusual discharge, discomfort in the urethra, or burning sensation while urinating, consider testing. Testing is also necessary if you had unprotected sex with or believe you were recently exposed to an STI. Early detection is necessary for effective treatment and preventing possible complications.
Undergoing NGU and NSU testing is important for your sexual health and peace of mind. If left untreated, these conditions can cause more serious complications, such as chronic pain and infertility. Testing also helps prevent spreading of the infection to your sex partner. We emphasise that regular testing is important and a necessary sexual health responsibility.
It is advisable to avoid urinating for at least twohours before your test to ensure your result is accurate. Fasting and other special preparations aren't necessary for this test.
Our experienced and friendly staff will guide you during the test. It is a quick and simple test involving a swan or urine sample. We always prioritise your privacy and comfort.
We understand that waiting for your results may cause anxiety, so we ensure quick communication of your results while maintaining utmost confidentiality, usually within a few days.

The common symptoms of NGU and NSU include a burning sensation while urinating, discomfort, or itching in the urethra. However, some people do not experience symptoms,which makes testing important.
NGU and NSU spread through unprotected sexual contact. Ensure you engage in safe sexual practices and communicate with your sexual partner about your sexual health.
NGU is a diagnostic test when the cause of urethritis is known, while NSU is the testing option when the cause of urethritis is unknown.
Yes, they do. Both conditions are treatable with antibiotics. However, treatment depends on the condition's cause.
Practising safe sex is the best prevention. This includes having regular sexual health check-ups and using condoms.
