Do you know about gonorrhea?

  Sometimes outpatient clinics do not touch one case a month, that is because most patients get better in the clinic or by taking anti-inflammatory drugs such as cephalosporins on their own.  Gonorrhea is a bacterial infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a gram-negative bacterium, and humans are the only natural hosts, often through sexual activity.  Neisseria gonorrhoeae is relatively delicate and dies immediately at 100°C in minutes under sun exposure.  Generally speaking, gonorrhea in men is mostly symptomatic, while gonorrhea in women is often asymptomatic.  After a single contact between a healthy person and a gonorrhea-infected person, gonorrhea occurs in about 1/4 of the cases, i.e. 2-10 days after sexual contact, the urethra becomes red, swollen, itchy, and painful to urinate, and difficulty in urination occurs, as well as yellowish-white purulent discharge from the urethra, which often seals the urethral orifice in a “paste” phenomenon.  A few patients have symptoms of slight fever and fatigue, and both inguinal lymph nodes can also be infected and cause redness, swelling and pain, or even pus.  It is annoying that some patients have mild or no symptoms and therefore may not seek medical attention in time, becoming a source of continued transmission of gonorrhea.  Ceftriaxone sodium is the first choice for treatment! 1g is only $2.01 in our hospital, and the cost of the crime is too low.  About half of the patients have a combination of non-gonococcal urethritis, and it is recommended to continue treatment with medication for 10-14 days after doing relevant tests.
