Patient's question:
My cousin has developed non-gonococcal urethritis, experiencing urethral pain, and has also returned to experiencing difficulty urinating and dysuria. She has seen several doctors, but the condition has not been fully resolved. I would like to ask how effective traditional Chinese medicine is in treating non-gonococcal urethritis. Does anyone know? Or could you offer some suggestions?Doctor's answer:
Your cousin has been diagnosed with non-gonococcal urethritis, experiencing urethral discomfort, difficulty urinating, and dysuria symptoms. Non-gonococcal urethritis is primarily caused by transmission from Ureaplasma urealyticum or Chlamydia trachomatis. In such cases, it is often necessary to conduct a drug sensitivity test before administering sensitive antibiotics for treatment. It is crucial to use adequate dosage and complete the full course of treatment—under no circumstances should you stop treatment prematurely. Additionally, sexual activity should be avoided during the treatment process. If your partner is also infected, both of you must be treated simultaneously to prevent cross-infection.
