Non Specific Urethritis (NSU)
NSU is an inflammation of a man’s urethra (the tube for passing urine). It can be caused by a number of different infections. Some, but not all, are passed on through having sex. One of the most common infections is chlamydia.
What are the symptoms?
The symptoms of NSU may include:
- a discharge from the tip of the penis;
- a burning feeling when passing urine.
Non-specific urethritis is treated with antibiotics.
