Can gonococcal urethritis be cured?

Gonococcal urethritis can be cured as long as it is detected in time and attended to as early as possible. If it is delayed for a longer period of time and becomes chronic, it is not easy to cure. Gonococcal urethritis, also known as gonorrhea, is a sexually transmitted disease that requires patients to go to the hospital immediately after the onset of symptoms and undergo a smear examination of secretions. After diagnosis, early treatment with cephalosporin or penicillin antibacterial agents can achieve a complete cure, without leaving any sequelae. The disease is contagious and can be contracted through sexual contact, so sexual intercourse should be avoided during the treatment period. If a long time without medical treatment, and turned into chronic gonococcal urethritis, it is not easy to cure, but will appear more serious complications. Chronic gonococcal urethritis can be characterized by urethral strictures, which are long stretches of urethral strictures that make it difficult for the patient to urinate. Even with urethral dilatation and other treatments, the effect is not ideal, and it is difficult to completely cure, and even need to be treated with cystostomy if necessary.
