“…Urethritis is characterized by urethral inflammation and inflammation of the periurethral glands, occurring with dysuria; in at least 50% of cases, a urethral flow originates either purulent, mucopurulent, serous, or in more severe cases, a hemorrhagic flow, as well as asymptomatic cases. The non-gonococcal origin of the infection will usually present with fewer symptoms [6].…”

(1) Background: Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) in men are a significant public health problem due to the consequences they can have, such as chronic diseases, infertility, cancer, and even death. This study aimed to determine the frequency of microorganisms associated with STIs in men with urethritis attending urology consultations, and to explore their clinical correlations. (2) Methods: A population that attended the urology consultation of the University Hospital “Dr. José E. González” was studied. Written consent was obtained, and interviews and clinical history were conducted about specific risk factors identifying signs and symptoms associated with any genitourinary condition; after that, urine samples were collected. Identification of C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, U. urealyticum, and M. genitalium was based on amplifying species-specific DNA fragments. (3) Results: A total of 200 patients were included. The mean age was 55 years (20–95). According to the interviews, only 32.5% (n = 65) had received prior sex education. Additionally, 75% (n = 150) do not usually use any protection during sexual intercourse. Regarding clinical factors, 69.4% (n = 138) presented burning or pain when urinating. Molecular analysis revealed the presence of C. trachomatis to be 9.5% (n = 19), with U. urealyticum at 13% (n = 26), and M. genitalium at 2% (n = 4). (4) Conclusions: This is the most extensive molecular epidemiological study of the frequency of STIs in men in Mexico in third-level care and its association with different risk factors. As reported globally, a similar frequency of C. trachomatis, U. urealyticum, and M. genitalium was detected.

The methodological recommendations have been developed with the aim of grading, systematizing and identifying key areas for the implementation of individual measures or a comprehensive corporate program for reproductive health promotion in working individuals at the employer level, including taking into account international experience.The guidelines describe seven key subprograms aimed at early diagnosis and timely treatment of urinary tract diseases, assessment of reproductive health, improving literacy in sex education and behavior, reducing the negative impact of industrial and external environmental factors on reproductive health, increasing commitment to measures to combat risk factors for noncommunicable diseases, providing support during menopause in women and andropause in men, and creating conditions in the workplace conducive to maintaining a strong family. The guidelines are intended for healthcare and public health organization specialists, heads of state authorities of constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the field of health protection, specialists of regional centers for public health and medical prevention, as well as for heads of organizations in various economic sectors. The materials presented in the guidelines can also be used by medical workers of various specialties (paramedics, general practitioners (family doctors), obstetrics and gynecology doctors, dermatology and venereology specialists, medical prevention doctors, occupational pathology physicians and urologists).
