NON-SPECIFIC URETHRITIS (NSU)
‘Vaginitis’ means ‘vaginal infection’ and ‘non-specific’ means that the doctor can’t find a specific organism that is causing the infection. The chief symptoms are an abnormal, foul-smelling discharge and redness or itching of the vulva. Treatment is usually by means of oral medication. Here again, though these infections may be bothersome, they don’t pose any major medical problems and therefore aren’t considered as serious as some of the other STDs.
Non-specific urethritis (NSU)-Urethritis is an infection of the urethra, the tube through which urine passes as it leaves the body. The chief symptoms are an abnormal discharge from the tip of the penis in males and from the urinary opening in females, pain in the genital area, itching, pain on urination and urinary frequency. The diagnosis of NSU is more common in men than in women. Urethritis may be caused by a number of different organisms, including chlamydia and gonorrhoea, but when a specific organism can’t be identified, the diagnosis is non-specific urethritis. Treatment is by oral medication.
