Gonorrhea and non-gonococcal urethritis

The two diseases have a lot in common, but they are also very different. From the name, gonorrhea is a common STD caused by the gonococcus bacteria, while non-gonorrhea is a non-gonococcal urethritis. Both have discomfort such as frequent urination, discomfort inside the urethra, itching, and pain. There is a discharge from the urethra, and the urethra has a “gag” in the morning, and there is dirt on the underwear. In women, the symptoms are relatively mild, and some patients are even asymptomatic. Generally, there is an increase in leucorrhea and discharge, and there are also symptoms of urinary tract irritation: urinary frequency and urgency and pain.
