Is non-gonococcal urethritis contagious?

Due to various reasons, we often encounter many embarrassing symptoms, especially difficulty urinating, stinging urination, etc., which will have a great impact on work and life.

1. Is it non-gonococcal urethritis infection?

This disease is a common clinical disease, which is highly contagious and can cause great harm to the patient's health, requiring timely prevention and treatment. Once this disease occurs, it is best to find a regular treatment method as soon as possible.

2. How Non-gonococcal Urethritis is Transmitted

1. Direct contact infection

Sexual contact is the main way to spread the disease. Normal people and patients with the disease are more likely to be infected after having sex. This is mainly because the patient has obvious warts on the external genitalia. During sexual intercourse, the organism will fall off and then spread to the genitals of the sexual partner. Especially for many people who have disordered sexual relationships or have sexual intercourse at an early age, the probability of transmission in this way will be higher.

2. Indirect contact infection

Patients with non-gonococcal urethritis are mainly infected with human papillomavirus, which can be transmitted through indirect contact. That is, normal people are likely to be infected with this pathogenic bacteria through the use of underwear and daily necessities of such patients, especially personal items such as bathtubs and towels. By using the toilet used by patients, bedding may also be infected with the disease.

3. Mother-to-child transmission

Because there are a large number of pathogenic bacteria in the maternal urinary system, the newborn is likely to carry these bacteria when passing through the birth canal, leading to neonatal infection.

4. Transmission by autologous inoculation

Some patients with anal non-gonococcal urethritis or external genital non-gonococcal urethritis may also touch the affected area with their hands and bring the pathogenic bacteria to other skin and mucous membranes of the body, thereby causing non-gonococcal urethritis.
