Urethritis is not necessarily gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease primarily characterized by pus-forming infections of the urinary and reproductive systems caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Acute urethritis can be divided into bacterial urethritis, gonococcal urethritis, and non-gonococcal urethritis, which are a broad category of diseases. Therefore, gonorrhea can have the clinical symptoms of acute urethritis and is a type of acute urethritis. If it is gonococcal urethritis, it should be treated as such, while non-specific urethritis should be treated as non-specific urethritis.
