Recurrent non-gonococcal urethritis

Non-gonococcal urethritis is a very serious disease for people's health, especially for people's urethra and urinary tract organs, posing a great threat. Because it is highly contagious, it may lead to mutual transmission or mixed infection due to certain behaviors or other actions in daily life. Many people have long been worried that non-gonococcal urethritis will recur after being cured by a single medication treatment. So does non-gonococcal urethritis have a high recurrence rate?

1. Causes of recurrent non-gonococcal urethritis

1. Mutual infection

Many patients do not pay attention to treating couples together when treating non-gonococcal urethritis, especially women. The symptoms of non-gonococcal urethritis in women are relatively mild and are easily ignored, which will cause mutual infection between couples and lead to recurrence of non-gonococcal urethritis. Therefore, when treating non-gonococcal urethritis, it is best for couples to be examined and treated together to avoid ping-pong-style transmission and long-term difficulty in healing.

2. Mixed infection

The proportion of patients with mixed infections in non-gonococcal urethritis is very high. These people will have symptoms of urethritis, but if only non-gonococcal infection is treated and other infection factors are ignored, the symptoms will be difficult to disappear, which will also lead to recurrence of the disease. When treating non-gonococcal urethritis with mixed infection, it is necessary to treat it together with other infections to avoid recurrence.

3. Improper medication

Some patients stop taking the medicine on their own when they see the symptoms improve. This is very detrimental to the disease and can easily lead to a recurrence of non-gonococcal urethritis. Therefore, when treating non-gonococcal urethritis, the medicine should be used according to the course of treatment, and consolidation should be carried out for a period of time after the symptoms disappear. Do not stop taking the medicine on your own when you see the symptoms improve, otherwise it will easily lead to a recurrence of non-gonococcal urethritis.

4. Not paying attention to sex life

After non-gonococcal urethritis is cured, if patients do not pay attention to their sexual life, especially those with disordered sexual life, these patients may suffer from recurrence of non-gonococcal urethritis due to sexual contact. After non-gonococcal urethritis is cured, patients should keep themselves clean, otherwise they will easily be infected again, leading to recurrence of the disease.

2. Prevention of non-gonococcal urethritis

1. Underwear worn in hot weather should not be too small or too tight. The fabric of underwear should be cotton or linen with good moisture absorption and breathability. Pay attention to personal hygiene, take a bath and change underwear frequently.

2. After defecation, toilet paper should be wiped from front to back to avoid contaminating the urethra.

3. To avoid reducing the body's resistance to disease due to excessive fatigue, you should ensure adequate sleep.
