Is gonorrhea serious in men?

Gonorrhea is a very common sexually transmitted disease, which is mainly transmitted through unclean sexual behavior. The harm of sexually transmitted diseases is still very large. After being infected with gonorrhea, it is necessary to receive timely treatment, otherwise it will be transmitted between husband and wife. Many men do not know much about gonorrhea and worry about serious consequences. So, is male gonorrhea serious? Let's take a look below.

Gonorrhea is a curable sexually transmitted disease. Generally, acute gonorrhea will not cause significant health effects after regular treatment. However, if gonorrhea in men is treated improperly, due to alcoholism, sexual intercourse, etc., the infection will further develop and spread to the posterior urethra, causing posterior urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, etc. If the inflammation recurs, it is easy to form scars, causing urethral stenosis, and some vas deferens stenosis or obstruction, leading to infertility.

Symptoms of gonorrhea in men

The earliest symptoms of male gonorrhea are redness, swelling, itching, and stinging at the urethral opening. Then, urination becomes uncomfortable, and after a day, the symptoms worsen, causing the entire urethra to become red and swollen. The secretions at the urethral opening will change from thin to dark yellow thick liquid, causing symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, and difficulty in movement. A small number of gonorrhea patients will also experience fatigue and low fever.
