NGU testing Clarification

I was recently tested for chlamydia and gonnerhea and they both came back negative. I then became worried that I could have NGU. My symptoms are slight clearish sticky discharge in the mornings with with small amounts of urine dripping after I pee. My question is- if both tests came back negative, does that mean, If I do have some sort of NGU, it's not from chlamydia or gonnerhea? I asked my doctor if I should be tested for NGU and he said no since it's caused mostly by chlamydia and I was negative.

NGU is basically bacteria and they say NGU when it is something other than gonorrhea or chlamydia. You don't have chlamydia, if you did then your test would say that you had it.

Sorry to make this so confusing but I get what you're saying there. But I've looked all over and I can't quite get this chlamydia testing linked to NGU. Since I'm negative for gonnerhea and chlamydia does that mean I'm definitely not carrying NGU caused by chlamydia? I guess what I'm asking is- does the negative chlamydia result mean I'm not carrying NGU caused by chalmydia? Sorry again for making this so confusing I just want clarification on this subject! Thanks!

Yes, but that symptom you have can be pretty common. Typically with NGU you get discharge not just in the morning. I would assume the current symptommight just be from nightly arousal.
