Initial symptoms of gonorrhea

It is often the early symptom of gonorrhea. There is burning, tingling or burning pain in the front of urethra. The pain is obviously aggravated when urinating, and even radiates to the lower abdomen or spine. When nocturnal pain occurs, the patient may have a "painful erection" of the penis.

Similar to the general urinary tract infection, this inflammation causes contraction of urethral sphincter, frequent urination and urgency, especially at night. In addition, as inflammation affects the small mucosal vessels, there are often "terminal hematuria" and sometimes blood essence. The perineum is swollen and painful. The pain of perineum distension was found clinically, which indicated that the lesion had invaded the posterior urethra, prostate and seminal vesicle.

Individual patients will also have systemic symptoms, such as fever, general fatigue, weakness, discomfort, loss of appetite, and even nausea and vomiting. In gay men, the patient can find mucopurulent secretion in the stool.

matters needing attention

Adult gonorrhea patients should ask their sexual partners for examination and treatment. All sexual partners who have had sexual contact with the patient during the onset of symptoms or within 2 months before diagnosis should be examined and treated for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis infection. If the patient's most recent one-time contact was before the onset of symptoms or 2 months before diagnosis, his latest partner should be treated. Patients should be educated to avoid sexual intercourse before treatment is completed, or when they and their partners have symptoms.
