Symptoms of acute gonococcal urethritis in men

In our daily life, we will encounter many physical diseases, and the organ structure of the human body is also very complex, which can cause various diseases. Male acute gonococcal urethritis is an infection of the male reproductive organs. It is generally more common in male friends. This disease will bring a lot of pain to patients. So what are the symptoms of male acute gonococcal urethritis? Let us learn about it together.

Symptoms of acute gonococcal urethritis in men

The diagnosis of acute gonococcal urethritis must be made based on a comprehensive analysis of medical history, physical examination, and laboratory test results.

Simple gonorrhea refers to gonorrhea patients without complications.

Symptoms of acute gonococcal urethritis in men:

The incubation period is generally 2 to 10 days, with an average of 2 to 5 days. At first, the urethral orifice will be burning, red, swollen and everted. There will be burning pain during urination, accompanied by frequent urination, and a small amount of mucous secretions from the urethral orifice. After 3 to 4 days, the urethral mucosal epithelium will undergo multiple focal necrosis, producing a large amount of purulent secretions, stinging pain during urination, and significant redness and swelling of the glans penis and foreskin. Gonorrhea or blood may be seen in the urethra, and pus and crusts may form at the urethral orifice in the morning. Accompanied by systemic symptoms of varying severity.

Due to long-term inflammation in the urethra, the fibrous tissue of the urethra wall proliferates and forms scars. When multiple scars form in the anterior urethra, secretions cannot be discharged smoothly. The inflammation easily spreads to the posterior urethra, prostate and seminal vesicle, complicated by prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis, and even spreads retrogradely to the epididymis, causing epididymitis. When urination is completed, the urethra is often mixed with gonococci from the posterior urethra. Therefore, posterior urethritis and prostatitis are the sources of infection for anterior urethritis. Since the secretions of the prostate and seminal vesicles are discharged into the posterior urethra, they constantly stimulate the posterior urethra, causing it to continue to thicken, which in turn affects the poor drainage of the glandular duct. This mutual influence causes the course of gonorrhea to be delayed, making it difficult to cure, and becoming an important source of infection.

Treatment of acute gonococcal urethritis in men

Chinese Medicine Treatment Methods

Treatment with Chinese medicine: Chinese medicine can be used as an auxiliary measure for the treatment of gonorrhea, but it must not be used as the main treatment method. It can be combined with Jiaoyan vaginal wash to clean or irrigate the vagina for disinfection and antibacterial treatment. Do not ignore antibacterial treatment, otherwise it will only mislead the condition and cause the disease to prolong and not heal.

Western medicine treatment methods

Treatment principles

The following principles should be followed in the treatment of gonorrhea: Early diagnosis and timely treatment: First, the diagnosis should be confirmed as soon as possible after the disease is diagnosed, and treatment should not be given arbitrarily before the diagnosis is confirmed. Second, treatment should be given immediately without hesitation after the diagnosis is confirmed, and the opportunity should not be missed.

What has been described above is a specific description of the symptoms of acute gonococcal urethritis in men. I believe that all of you have a deeper understanding of this type of disease. I also hope that male patients with acute gonococcal urethritis will actively cooperate with treatment, and at the same time maintain hygiene, eat more foods that are conducive to urination, go outdoors to do beneficial exercises when appropriate, and breathe more fresh air.
