URETHRITIS AND CERVICITIS – MANAGEMENT

Whether patients are treated for one or other of these infections or for both will depend on an assessment of the clinical features, laboratory investigations and local disease patterns. Many venereologists recommend that patients with gonorrhoea also be treated for chlamydia.

Sexual partners of patients with gonorrhoea or NGU or NGC should be investigated and treated on epidemiological grounds. Women with silent infection may develop pelvic inflammatory disease. Asymptomatic male partners may develop prostatitis or epididymitis. Failed treatment or recurrence may be due to reinfection by an infected partner.
