      Gonorrhea, also known as gonococcal urethritis, gonococcus Vaginitis , flower willow disease, etc. It is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Diplococcus gonorrhoeae multiplying in large numbers in the infection focus and spreading along the urinary and reproductive tracts.

      Gonorrhea diagnosis

      1. Source of infection: Mainly transmitted by gonorrhea patients and carriers through infection. Followed by indirect infections such as sexual intercourse, anal intercourse, and contact with patient-contaminated secretions, clothing, bedpans, towels, and bathtubs. Newborns can suffer from birth canal infections due to gonorrhea. The onset of symptoms can occur in as little as one day and as long as 20 days after infection.

      2. Gonorrhea in men: urethral itching, frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, redness and swelling of the external urethral orifice, purulent or bloody secretions, milky white and turbid urine, "morning urination" and "bifurcated urine flow". Urinary incontinence, urinary orifice eversion, perineal swelling. In the middle and late stages, there will be hematuria and bloody semen, and pyuria will appear "early morning dripping", "sealing", and "penetration", which are often complicated by prostatitis , seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, urethral stricture.

      3.female Gonorrhea: often invades the urethra, cervix, Bartholin glands, Uterus Endometrium, fallopian tube, etc. There is purulent discharge from the vaginal opening, stomach achelow back paincervical erosion , congestion, endometritis, menstrual disorders, leading to infertility or Ectopic pregnancy

      4. Non-reproductive gonorrhea: patients with gonococcal salpingitis , ovarianitis, which can cause peritonitis and toxic shock. If not treated promptly, gonococcal bacteremia, sepsis, endocarditis, and pericarditis can occur. People with repeated infections may also suffer from arthritis, deformity, and bone destruction. Those who have anal sex can suffer from proctitis, and those who have oral sex can cause laryngitis, tonsillitis, cervical lymphadenopathy, etc.

      5. Gonorrhea in children: It can cause gonorrheal ophthalmia, corneal perforation, and even double blindness. Young girls living with infected parents can also contract gonorrhea, and often suffer from vaginitis, urethritis, vulvitis , proctitis, etc.

      2. Patients should be isolated from others. Towels, washbasins, limb basins, etc. should be separated and cannot be shared.

      3. The treatment uses a single dose of 1.6 million units of procaine penicillin G, and an injection of 800,000 units into the gluteal muscles on both sides. Those who are allergic to penicillin can be treated with zonithromycin or tetracycline.
