What Is Non-Gonococcal Urethritis, and How Is It Treated? - #15913
I recently started experiencing discomfort while urinating, and after some tests, my doctor told me I have non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU). I had never heard of this condition before, so now I’m wondering—what exactly is non-gonococcal urethritis, and how is it treated? From what I understand, NGU is an inflammation of the urethra that is not caused by gonorrhea but can be due to bacteria like Chlamydia or Mycoplasma. But are there other possible causes—can it also happen due to irritation, chemical exposure, or autoimmune issues? I also read that symptoms of NGU include burning during urination, discharge, and frequent urination. How long does it take for symptoms to appear, and can it go away on its own? What are the most effective treatments—are antibiotics always necessary, or are there alternative methods to reduce inflammation? Since I prefer natural treatments, I looked into Ayurveda’s approach to managing NGU. Are there Ayurvedic herbs, detox therapies, or dietary changes that can help clear the infection and support urinary tract health? I found that Gokshura, Punarnava, and coriander seed water are commonly recommended—do these actually help in relieving urethritis symptoms and preventing recurrence? For those who have experienced non-gonococcal urethritis, what treatments worked best? Did antibiotics, lifestyle changes, or Ayurvedic remedies provide the fastest relief? I’d love to hear real experiences on managing NGU effectively.
