Is it serious for men to be positive for gonorrhea?

If the male gonococcus test is positive, gonorrhea is confirmed. This disease is a reproductive tract infection, and the patient generally has a history of unclean sexual behavior. However, there is no need to be overly nervous about this disease, as it can be cured. Generally, anti-infection treatment is required, which takes at least four weeks. After treatment, you need to go to the hospital clinic for examination again.

If the test result is normal, you can stop taking the medicine, otherwise you need to continue taking the medicine. During the treatment period, you cannot have sex, drink alcohol, or eat spicy food, otherwise it will increase the difficulty of treatment. In addition, you need to drink more water and urinate more. Drink at least 2000-3000ml of water every day to promote the recovery of the symptoms. In addition, after the treatment, try to reduce unclean behavior.

Male gonococcal positive, mostly with unclean life history, Gram-positive bacteria negative diplococcus, infection-induced, clinical manifestations, may appear urinary urgency and frequency, urinary pain, urethral discharge, may be purulent, urine examination, white blood cells, urethral pathogens shape Gram-negative diplococcus, diagnosis needs to be distinguished from chlamydia infection, chlamydia infection urethral discharge is often thin, milky white, or colorless and transparent, intestinal pathogens test, negative, chlamydia, or chlamydia test is positive, male gonococcal positive.

Gonorrhea is a genital infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae (commonly known as Chlamydia) with the specific manifestation of urinary tract purulent infection. Its incidence rate ranks second among genital tract infections in my country. Chlamydia is a Gram-negative diplococcus that is not easy to survive outside the body and can be easily killed by ordinary disinfectants. Gonorrhea mostly occurs in sexually active young men and women.

In recent years, gonorrhea has been on the rise worldwide. In my country, gonorrhea has revived since 1975, with the number of patients increasing linearly, and it is a key STD. In recent years, with the sharp increase in syphilis cases, gonorrhea cases have been gradually decreasing. However, gonorrhea is still a common reproductive tract infection in my country, and it is also a Class B infectious disease that needs to be prevented as required by the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases".

Gonorrhea Clinical Symptoms

1. Uncomplicated gonorrhea

(1) The incubation period of male gonorrhea is generally 2 to 10 days, with an average of 3 to 5 days. At the beginning, the urethral opening is burning, swollen and flaring. There is burning pain when urinating, accompanied by frequent and urgent urination, and a small amount of mucous secretion at the urethral opening. After 3 to 4 days, most of the epithelial cells in the urethral opening mucosa produce focal necrosis, resulting in a lot of purulent secretions, stinging pain when urinating, and obvious redness and swelling of the glans penis and foreskin. Gonorrhea or blood can be seen in the urethral opening, and pus and scabs may form at the urethral opening when getting up in the morning. Accompanied by systemic symptoms of varying degrees of severity. Chronic gonorrhea in men generally has no obvious symptoms. When the body's resistance is reduced, such as excessive fatigue, drinking, and sexual intercourse, symptoms of urethritis may appear.

(2) Female gonorrhea syndrome After female subacute gonorrhea infection, the symptoms are mild or asymptomatic at first. Generally, after a critical period of 3 to 5 days, urethritis, cervicitis, paraurethral glanditis, vestibular glanditis and proctitis will occur successively, among which cervicitis is the most common. 70% of female gonorrhea patients have urethral infection. Gonococcal cervicitis is common and often occurs together with urethritis. Chronic gonorrhea in women with blood pressure Subacute gonorrhea can become chronic if not adequately treated. The main manifestations are lower abdominal pain, back pain, and more secretions. Blood pregnancy combined with gonorrhea often has no clinical manifestations. Pregnant women with gonorrhea can infect their babies through the birth canal during childbirth, especially when the fetus is in breech presentation, which can cause premature placental abruption, amniotic cavity infection, premature birth, postpartum sepsis and endometritis. In women with gonococcal vulvovaginitis, the private parts, perineum and perianal area are red and swollen, and there is more purulent secretion in the vagina, which can cause urinary pain, local irritation and rupture.
