Non-gonococcal urethritis is also known as non-gonorrhea. Patients will have painful urination, pruritus urethra, a large amount of secretion in the urethra, and discomfort in the lower abdomen. There will be great misunderstandings in the treatment process. So, what are the treatment misunderstandings of non-gonococcal urethritis?
1. Diagnosis only depends on the discoloration of culture medium
Whether it is caused by chlamydia or ureaplasma urealyticum, bacterial culture and isolation must be carried out in the hospital, so as to make a better diagnosis. Do not simply see the discoloration of the culture medium, because some miscellaneous bacteria also contain certain urease, which will cause discoloration of the culture medium.
2. Chlamydia and ureaplasma urealyticum infections must be treated
In fact, when there is ureaplasma urealyticum infection or chlamydia infection, there is no need to immediately use drug treatment, nor need to use expensive antibacterial drugs. If the patient is over-treated, it will bring a certain economic burden to the patient, and also cause psychological pressure. As long as the two contents in the patient's urethral secretion are not more than 104cc per milliliter, no treatment is needed. Just go to the hospital for follow-up inspection at any time. When this value is exceeded or symptoms of systemic infection occur, treatment must be taken.
3. Use antibiotics randomly when finding infection
In fact, when suffering from non-gonococcal urethritis, you can completely cure it as long as you choose a regular hospital, but you must use drugs in sufficient quantity and regularly according to the doctor's instructions. At the same time, you should also select the appropriate antibiotics according to the patient's different conditions and sensitivity tests to drugs. Tetracyclines and azithromycin are mainly used to treat diseases. Relatively speaking, the effective rate of tetracyclines can reach more than 90%. Rifampicin and sulfonamides are very effective against chlamydia, but have no effect on mycoplasma. Children and pregnant women who cannot use tetracycline can choose erythromycin treatment. In addition, no matter which side of the husband and wife is infected, both sides must be treated at the same time.
4. Ignore the treatment of complications
Ureaplasma urealyticum and chlamydia can form gonococcal infection when they are combined, so penicillin should be used first, and then tetracycline and erythromycin should be used.
These are the treatment mistakes of non-gonococcal urethritis. You can't have sex with other people until your illness is cured. In addition, you should use special bath towels and bathtubs. Your underwear should be boiled and disinfected regularly. Both husband and wife should treat the disease at the same time.
