1.What is gonorrhea? Gonorrhea is a purulent infection of the genitourinary system caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and also includes eye, throat, rectal, pelvic and disseminated gonococcal infections. The incubation period is 2 to 10 days, with an average of 3 to 5 days. In recent years, due to the gradual popularization of sex education and the promotion of condom use, the incidence of gonorrhea has dropped significantly. 2.How is gonorrhea infected and transmitted? Regardless of whether there are clinical symptoms or not, gonorrhea patients are the source of infection. Gonococcus can be transmitted directly through sexual contact, and occasionally indirectly through clothing, towels, bath tubs, toilets and hands with gonococcus. Although gonorrhea cannot be transmitted through the placenta, gonococcal ophthalmia can occur in newborns through the birth canal. 3.What are the signs and symptoms of gonorrhea? How is it diagnosed? After unclean sex, frequent, urgent and painful urination, burning pain in the urethra, and yellow-white pus or discharge. The urethral orifice is red and swollen, and yellow pus flows out when the urethra is squeezed. Chronic gonorrhea may be present if there is repeated terminal hematuria, mild painful urination, a feeling of swelling in the pubic area, pus crusting at the urethral orifice before urination in the morning, and when there was acute gonorrhea in the past. Gram-negative diplococci arranged in pairs can be found on smears of urethral secretions. Bacterial culture can confirm the diagnosis. 4.How to treat gonorrhea? Gonorrhea can spread to adjacent male genitourinary organs and tissues, causing inflammation, leading to narrowing of the urinary tract, obstruction of the genital tract, and even male infertility. In addition, gonococcus can adhere to many other tissues throughout the body by various routes, causing corresponding symptoms, such as gonococcal conjunctival keratitis, gonococcal pharyngitis, and proctitis. Like other bacterial infections, gonococci can also spread throughout the body through the bloodstream, resulting in serious systemic infections such as meningitis, pericarditis, and hepatitis. Therefore, gonorrhea emphasizes early diagnosis, early treatment and regular therapy. At present, broad-spectrum cephalosporins have become the first-line drugs for the treatment of gonorrhea in most regions of the world. 5.What is: “Super gonorrhea virus”? The recent report “Super gonorrhea virus emerged in many places around the world” has aroused widespread concern at home and abroad. The actual term refers to Neisseria gonorrhoeae (also called gonococcus), which is resistant to cephalosporin antibacterial drugs, and not a virus. However, in cases of possible gonococcal ceftriaxone resistance or treatment failure, treatment can be carried out by increasing the dose, changing the route of administration, combining drugs, or using other new antibacterial drugs, and no drug-free phenomenon will occur.
