What causes non-specific urethritis?
There are many different causes. Some, but not all, are passed on through having sex. If you have non-specific urethritis there may be more than one cause, and in some men a cause is never identified. If you have signs of inflammation in your urethra it is common to be told you have non-specific urethritis straightaway, before the cause is known. You will probably be tested for sexually transmitted or possibly urinary tract infections to try to find out what the cause of the inflammation is. You may have to wait for these results.
