MALE MENOPAUSE: THE SURVIVAL COURSE: THE PHYSICAL FOUNDATION – HEALTH AND CHECK-UPS (NON-SPECIFIC URETHRITIS)
Often known by the bare initials N.S.U. this is an infection termed non-specific because there appears to be no known specific cause for it unlike gonorrhea or syphillis. But it is sexually transmitted.
About ten to thirty days after intercourse, usually with a casual partner, a slight discharge appears from the penis. Passing water may be painful or accompanied by a burning sensation. The need to pass water probably becomes more frequent.
Treatment is usually with antibiotics like tetracycline. During treatment both sexual intercourse and alcohol must be avoided.
