It turns out that these are symptoms of gonococcal urethritis.

Gonorrhea is what we know as gonorrhea. Knowing the symptoms of gonococcal urethritis is helpful for timely prevention of the disease, and also helps patients to detect the disease early and receive early treatment.

Gonococcal urethritis symptoms

1. Painful urination, burning or stinging in the urethra during urination, and sometimes terminal hematuria. The urine is generally transparent, but gonorrhea filaments can be seen floating in it.

2. It is often accompanied by low back pain, a swollen feeling in the perineum, nocturnal ejaculation, and blood in the semen.

3. It may be complicated by vas deferensitis, seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, hydrocele, endorphitis, prostatitis, glans balanitis, gonococcal ulcer, etc.

4. Difficulty urinating, weak urine stream, short urine flow, and even urine retention.

The main hazards of not treating gonorrhea in time are:

1. Cause other complications. Such as urethral gland inflammation, periurethral tissue inflammation and abscess, preputial gland inflammation, vas deferensitis, seminal vesiculitis, hydrocele, orchitis, prostatitis, glans phimitis, gonococcal ulcer, epididymitis and urethral stenosis. Gonorrhea can also spread through the blood, causing arthritis and hepatitis, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

2. Inducing infertility. Gonorrhea can infect the male prostate, seminal vesicles, and epididymis, causing sperm abnormalities and leading to infertility.

3. Cause urination disorder or urinary retention. Mild urinary pain, only burning or mild stinging in the urethra during urination, often with terminal hematuria. Urine is generally transparent, but gonorrhea filaments can be seen floating in it. The urethral opening is red and swollen, with burning pain and sticky pus.

4. Cause sexual dysfunction. If gonorrhea is not treated in time, it is easy to cause loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, impotence, premature ejaculation and neurasthenia.

Experts point out that early and reasonable treatment can completely cure the disease in a very short time. The occurrence of gonorrhea complications is mostly due to the patient's untimely treatment or incomplete and irregular treatment. This is because many antibiotics have an inhibitory effect on gonococci. The result of the inhibition is that the symptoms disappear, but the pathogen is not eliminated, resulting in repeated attacks and endangering reproductive health. Therefore, gonorrhea must be treated with sufficient dosage, adequate course, and regular treatment.
