The harm of gonorrhea to men’s health

Gonorrheal prostatitis: divided into two types: acute and chronic:

Acute prostatitis is gonorrheal. One of the complications of posterior urethritis. It usually occurs in the third week of gonorrhea, with frequent urination and painful urination. The pain is especially aggravated after urination. There is dull pain in the perineum and near the anus, and pain during defecation. On anal examination, the prostate is swollen, the surface is uneven, and it is painful when pressed, and purulent secretions often flow out of the urethra.

Chronic prostatitis and acute prostatitis without thorough treatment can easily turn into chronic prostatitis. Symptoms include a falling sensation, tenderness, frequent urination, and often low back pain in the perineum. Anal diagnosis revealed prostatic hypertrophy, with hard nodules in many places and tenderness to touch. Mucus secretions were present during massage, and white blood cells were detected during the examination.

Gonorrheal epididymitis: This disease is caused by gonorrhea invading the epididymis through the ejaculatory duct. It is the most common complication of acute post-urethral gonorrhea. Symptoms include swelling of the epididymis, hard nodules on the surface, often radiating pain, and body temperature rising to about 39 degrees Celsius in the acute stage.

Gonorrhea seminal vesiculitis, gonorrhea invades through the ejaculatory duct, vas deferens or lymphatic duct. The feeling of swelling in the perineum is aggravated during urination and defecation. Hernia pain radiates to the vas deferens and testicles, and the urine is clear.

Gonorrheal balanoposthitis: caused by the purulent secretions of gonorrhea irritating the glans and the inner leaf of the foreskin. Local burning, itching, slight pain, foreskin edema, and inner lobe erosion began. The glans is flushed and slightly eroded, and the foreskin of the patient is significantly edematous and cannot be turned up. The glans is swollen, which may lead to secondary inflammatory phimosis.

Gonorrheal paraurethritis: Most of the accessory urethra opens around the external orifice of the urethra, or at the frenulum, or along the midline skin on the dorsal side of the penis. If patients with gonorrhea have such accessory urethra, it is easily affected and obvious inflammation occurs. Gonorrhea can be found in purulent secretions, which is one of the sources of gonorrhea infection.

Gonorrheal urethral stricture: Chronic gonorrhea can easily cause urethral stricture after several months or years. At first, the patient feels nothing, but gradually becomes unable to urinate smoothly, has frequent urges to urinate, and has thin and weak urine strings that cannot ejaculate directly. Cannot be discharged or only drips out. Progressive urethral stricture, if not treated early, has extremely negative consequences and is sometimes life-threatening.
