The most common symptom is dysuria painful or difficult urination . Causes The disease is classified as either Gonorrhea gonococcal urethritis , caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae , or non gonococcal urethritis NGU , most commonly caused by Chlamydia trachomatis . NGU, sometimes called non specific urethritis NSU , has both infectious and non infectious causes. Other causes include Adenoviridae Uropathogenic Escherichia coli UPEC Herpes simplex Mycoplasma genitalium Reactive arthritis Reiter s syndrome Trichomonas spp. Ureaplasma urealyticum Symptoms In men, pus purulent discharge usually indicates a urethritis of gonococcal nature, while clear discharge indicates urethritis of non gonococcal nature. Citation needed date June 2011 Urethritis is difficult to diagnose in women because discharge may not be present, however, the symptoms of dysuria and frequency may be present. Diagnosis With male patients, the physician examines the penis and testicles for soreness or any swelling. The urethra is visually examined by spreading the urinary meatus apart with two gloved fingers, and examining the opening for redness, discharge and other abnormalities. Next, a cotton swab is inserted 1&ndash 4 cm into the urethra and rotated once. To prevent contamination, no lubricant is applied to the swab, which can result in pain or discomfort. The swab is then smeared onto a glass slide and examined under a microscope. A commonly used cut off for the diagnosis of urethritis is 5 or more granulocyte s per High Power Field HPF , but this definition has recently been called into doubt. ref name Bradshaw2006 cite journal author Bradshaw CS, Tabrizi SN, Read TR, et al title Etiologies of nongonococcal uret ... more details

Solid perfumes or cream perfumes are perfumes in solid rather than the more common liquid form. Historically, ointment like unguents have been used as a type of solid perfume since Ancient Egypt Egyptian times ref http egyptmonth.com mag08012000 mag4.htm Perfumes of Ancient Egypt ref . Normally the substance that gives the cream its base comes from a type of wax that is initially melted. Once melted, a scent or several scents may be added and then further developed until the cream base reaches the desired consistency. Solid perfumes have seen a resurgence in recent years. Solid perfume is used either by rubbing your finger against it and then onto skin, or dipping a cotton swab into it and then onto your skin. Sometimes solid perfume can take more time for the deeper notes to come out than an Eau de Toilette spray perfume. The latest solid perfumes are designed as handbag essentials and a more compact way of making perfume more portable. Examples like Ormonde Jayne s Sugar Butter Solid Perfume uses a base of polysacharides to create a balm with a highly concentrated perfume.
