What is NGU

ok so on April 20th I received cunnilingus from a man. A few days later I started experiencing burning during urination that has been on and off ever since and abdominal pain in like my uterus and ovaries. I got tested for stds (gonorrhea chlamydia and trich) as well as bacterial vaginosis and a yeast infection. I tested Negative for the stds but positive for Bacterial vaginosis. Recently my spouse told me that he has been experiencing burning during urination and now I am freaking out. I thought since I tested negative for stds through a vaginal swab that I was in the clear but I just read about ngu and now I am worried. Should I go back and have a urine test done? Can stds like that be only in the female urethra and remain undetected by a vaginal swab?

we usually just call it a uti instead of ngu in females.

The bacteria that is normal in the mouth isn't always so normal in the urogenital tract. Oral sex is associated with uti's and also vaginitis for females.

Thank you. I was also wondering more specifically , can a woman even get NGU from receiving cunnilingus?

If you are still experiencing burning with urination, you should be tested for an uti again. Sometimes the urogenital tract gets its bacteria off balance and it can be hard to get it back to normal again.

You tested negative for the bacterial std's that cause ngu ( which is just a fancy name for an uti caused by something other than gonorrhea ). No reason to think this is a std causing either of your symptoms at this point.
