Q: Nongonococcal Urethritis
asked by: clicketysplit on July 14th, 2005

I recently had some burning upon urination and some white discharge from my penis. I am in a monogamous relationship, but I figured I better get it checked out. The doctor ran tests for chlamydia and gonnorhea, but they came back negative, and he said I have a urethral infection -- possibly sexually transmitted -- called "nongonococcal urethritis" he has given me some antibiotics. I'm not sure how to approach the subject with my partner, since she should probably be treated too.

The only thing I can think of, besides the unthinkable :( , is that a week or so ago we went to a "natural" hot spring cut into the side of a mountain in the wilderness. There was a lot of scum on the rocks, and the temperature was pretty warm -- is there a chance that I could have gotten a bacterial infection in that pool? It is odd that the symptoms occured about 3 or 4 days after we returned from our little trip.

I'm confused, and I don't want to make any unfounded accusations. Can someone give me some feedback?

Just tell her you have an inffection down there, its no big deal. Girls get infections down there all the time. Im sure if anything was wrong with her she would know and go to the gyno right away!
