Non-gonorrheal infection is a general term for non-gonorrheal urethritis (in male patients) and non-gonorrheal vaginitis (in female patients). Statistically, non-gonorrheal infections are among the most common STDs. Among non-gonorrheal infections, the number of infected women is higher than that of men.
The incubation period for symptomatic Non-Gonococcal Urethritis
The incubation period for symptomatic Non-Gonococcal Urethritis is about one to three weeks and can be as long as six weeks. When the disease occurs, the patient’s sexual organs will be infected and inflamed, including vaginitis and cervicitis. For women, the symptoms caused by non-gonorrheal infections are very similar to those of gonorrhea. However, the symptoms are very mild, with no or slight dysuria, mucopurulent secretions flowing out of the cervix, and sometimes the cervix. May become inflamed or eroded. If the patient is unaware and delays medical treatment, it may cause other complications, such as mucopurulent cervicitis, salpingitis, urethritis, and discitis, and may even lead to infertility. Pregnant women can transmit germs to their fetuses, causing conjunctivitis and pneumonia.
Causes of Non-Gonococcal Urethritis
Non-gonococcal infections are infectious diseases caused by sexual contact.
For treatment
Patients can take antibiotics. Taking them continuously for 7 to 14 days can usually cure the disease, but of course, the safest way is to ask a doctor for advice. Although the symptoms of non-gonococcal infections are milder than gonorrhea, they are difficult to completely cure.
Prevention of non-gonococcal vaginitis
Prevention of non-gonococcal vaginitis is the same as prevention of other sexually transmitted diseases, which means avoiding promiscuity, maintaining a fixed sexual partner, and using condoms correctly.
