ngu question

I want to know if you can get ngu from anything other than sex. I have been tested and tested positive for ngu. still waiting to find out if there is anything else to go along with it as I have been informed may be a possibility .I informed my long time partner and they swear they have not been with anyone else. so my question is it possible to get this from any other means short of having a foreign object inserted in your penis as I have read is a possible cause. if so what are they. any suggestions would be greatly helpful as I am very confused by this whole situation

Again it depends what its is. You tested negative for NGU which basicly means you don that gonorreha. Ureaplasma, mycoplasma and chlamydia are the 3 most common causes. I would hold off on being intimate with your partner until the test are back and if what you have is transmittable then your partner absolutly should be tested.

also is it possible that I could give it to my partner during intercourse as she is not having any signs if it is nsu

It would  be best to get the test results before commenting on what you may or may not have other wise its all just speculation. NGU is also known as nonspecific urinary infection or nsu. Did they do a swab of the discharge?

so it is possible that my partner is telling me the truth and has been faithful provided the rest of the tests come back negative. do you know how this sort of thing can be prevented.as it is a very stressful thing to try and sort out. thanks for your help and for caring.

Hi, yes that correct, you can develop NGU from natural organisms that are living in the urinary tract. Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma genitalium are some of the culprits. Also are some condom spericides.
