Everyone should not be aware of gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is a highly contagious disease that brings many troubles to patients' lives.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a better understanding of the symptoms and treatment methods related to gonorrhea. This is also a concern for many patients, let's take a look at the relevant introduction below.
Gonorrhea without comorbidities
1. Male gonorrhea: divided into acute and chronic types, with different symptoms between acute and chronic gonorrhea. The incubation period of acute gonorrhea is short, and it will come on 3-5 days after infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The early symptoms include burning, itching, redness and ectropion of the urethral orifice. As the condition progresses, symptoms of frequent urination and urgency become increasingly apparent, with blood in the urine. In severe cases, pus scabs form at the urethral opening and abnormal urination occurs. Chronic gonorrhea has a long incubation period, often prolonged by repeated episodes of acute gonorrhea. At the initial stage of the disease, there were no obvious symptoms. After the disease developed, there were symptoms of Urethritis. When the disease worsened, the glandular tube drainage was not smooth, and the posterior urethra was thickened by secretion stimulation. Some patients can be complicated with Prostatitis and Orchitis.
2. Female gonorrhea: It is divided into acute and chronic types, and the symptoms of acute and chronic gonorrhea are different. The incubation period of acute gonorrhea is short and the symptoms are mild. After the onset, most women with Cervicitis will be infected with germs in their urethra, accompanied by Urethritis, paraurethritis and other diseases. Chronic gonorrhea has symptoms such as low back pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, abdominal distension, redness and swelling of the external genitalia, increased secretion, painful urination, and local irritation.
Gonorrhea with comorbidities

What should I pay attention to in the treatment of gonorrhea?
1. Sexual intercourse is not allowed until gonorrhea is cured. On the one hand, sexual intercourse can worsen the condition, and on the other hand, it can transmit gonorrhea to the other party during sexual intercourse, promoting the spread of gonorrhea. Although some prostitutes have no symptoms, they can pass gonorrhea to each other through sexual intercourse. Generally, the room can only be restored after complete healing. That is to say, after formal treatment, if no gonococcal bacteria are found after three rounds of cultivation and there are no symptoms, it can be cured. At this time, sexual intercourse can be carried out.
