Gonorrhea in men

Gonorrhea in men, as a rule, proceeds in the form of urethritis (lesions in the urethra). The disease begins to develop after a so-called latent period. On average, it is five or seven days, sometimes one to two or three weeks and longer.

If the disease lasts less than two months, then such a gonorrhea in men is called fresh. The disease that lasts longer than this period is classified as a chronic form. To the same type of current are also diseases with an undefined period of development or accompanied by a low-symptomatic, flaccid clinical picture of the inflammatory process.

Gonorrhea in men, regardless of whether it is chronic or fresh, is characterized by objective signs, more or less pronounced. In this case, subjective disorders in some cases may not be noted. However, in modern medical practice there is a presence of gonococci in the genitourinary system without accompanying objective and subjective changes. In such cases, gonorrhea in men is latent in nature and is classified as gonokokonositelstvo.

Thus, the disease can take the form:

• Fresh;
• Sharp;
• Subacute;
• Torpid (sluggish);
• Chronic;
• Hidden.

In any course of the disease, there may be manifestations of local and distant (septic, metastatic) complications.

Gonorrhea disease is characterized by the presence of specific exudates from the urethra. This symptom is accompanied by soreness of varying intensity.

Acute inflammation is characterized by pronounced puffiness and hyperemia of the sponges in the external urethral opening. They look glassy swollen and slightly deformed. From the urethra, yellowish-green or pale yellow pus constantly flows out in large quantities. With palpation, the compactness and insignificant soreness of the cavernous body are noted . If the inflammatory process is limited to the area of the urethral mucosa, consecutive urination in two glasses will show the turbidity of the first sample and the transparency of the second sample.

Acute purulent gonorrheal urethritis is characterized by cutting pains at the beginning of deurination. This is due to the stretching of the urine stream to the inflamed and in some areas of the erosive urethra. In some cases, patients complain of painful erections. Severe inflammation (which is rare), the penis is constantly in a half-erect condition. In these cases purulent discharge can be with blood impurities.

Even in the absence of treatment for two to three weeks, remission of inflammation is noted. At the same time, a decrease in the volume of purulent discharge is characteristic, as well as a weakening of subjective disorders. Thus, the disease passes into a subacute, and then into a chronic form.

With the penetration of gonococci into the posterior urethra, an acute total course of the disease develops from the anterior one. This is characterized by a combined manifestation of symptoms. Patients complain of frequent urge to urinate, at the end of which there is a sharp soreness. A two-shot sample shows a turbid liquid of both portions.

Cure gonorrhea is only possible by a qualified specialist.

If the disease is detected in the early stages and in the absence of other disorders, getting rid of the disease can occur after a single intake of strong antibiotic drugs. Subacute stage also involves the appointment of such medications ("Ciprofloxacin", "Spectinomycin"). With asymptomatic flow, in addition to antibiotic agents, physiotherapy procedures are recommended. A specialist can prescribe a periodic intake of different medications, since gonococci are able to adapt to their action.
