It is possible for men and women to have non-specific urethritis but it is more difficult to diagnose in women. This information only discusses non-specific urethritis in men. It gives you information about non-specific urethritis, what you can do if you are worried you might have it and advice on how to protecte yourself from infection. | | Specimen Type | Urethral Swab, Urine | | Request Form | Microbiolgy | | Transport Medium | Amies charcoal Transport Swab | | Related tests | None | | HOW TO guides | None | | Information leaflets | None | | Publications | None | | Guidelines | None |
