How Much Do You Know about the Complications of Gonorrhea?
Gonorrhea is caused by a human parasitic fungus called Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which is characterized by pyogenic infections of the urinary and reproductive systems, there are several major complications of gonorrhea.
.

1. Prostatitis
1 day or half before the onset of acute prostatitis, urethra often stops pus or pus reduction, patients will have a high fever, increased frequency of urination and pain, rectal examination showed enlarged prostate, tenderness, urine turbidity, if patients are not treated in time, there will be an abscess in the prostate. People with chronic type generally do not have obvious symptoms, when they urinate the first time after getting up, there will be urethral orifice sealing, a small number of white secretions are discharged when squeezing the penis, epithelial cells, a small number of pus cells and gonorrhea can be found through secretion examination.
2. Seminal vesiculitis
Patients usually have an acute fever, frequent urination, urodynia, urine turbidity, and blood, a rectal examination can touch the enlarged seminal vesicle and there is severe tenderness, chronic patients do not have obvious symptoms, seminal vesicle stiff, fibrosis may be found through rectal examinations.
3. Urethral stricture
Recurrent gonorrhea can cause urethral stricture, in a few cases, it will cause vasectomy or even infarction, and then semen cyst and infertility. Initially, patients had no symptoms, and gradually they will have difficulty in urinating, frequent urination, weak urine flow, unable to shoot directly, at last, the urine even could not be drained or only dripped out. If the progressive urethral stricture is not treated in time, it will lead to severe damage and sometimes can threaten patients’ life.
4. Epididymitis and glomerulonephritis of the urethra
The epididymis will be painful and swollen, even if you touched it lightly, there will be tenderness. When it is complicated with urethral glomus adenitis, gland enlargement can be touched in the position of the perineum, which can cause severe discomfort to patients. When it is not complicated with glomus adenitis of the urethra, but with acute epididymitis, there will be obvious swelling and pain in scrotum and appendix.

5. Gonorrhea balanitis
This is a complication caused by the stimulation of purulent secretions. Inflammation occurs when the glans and foreskin are invaded by purulent secretions. We know that gonorrhea is transmitted through sex and blood. So when having sex, you should pay more attention to personal hygiene.
It is caused by the stimulation of the glans and the inner lobe of the prepuce by the purulent secretion of gonorrhea. Patients often have local cauterization, itching, slight pain, prepuce edema, and internal lobe erosion. In severe cases, the prepuce is markedly edematous and can not be turned upside down and it can be secondary to inflammatory phimosis.
6. Glandular urethritis, retention cyst, lymphangitis, lymphadenitis, and prepuce abscess
This is a series of complications of lymph and gland. When bacteria invade the crypt and gland of anterior urethra, glandular urethritis can occur. The formation of retention cyst is related to gland obstruction, which affects the function of the cyst.
After the rupture of the cyst, large cysts will form around the urethra. Inflammation of lymphatic ducts, inguinal lymphadenitis, or unilateral or bilateral inguinal lymphadenitis occurs when inflammation of the glands or the surrounding urethra spreads to the surrounding area, especially to the penile cavernous body. The prepuce glands on both sides of the penile frenulum may also be involved, causing pain or abscess.
Gonorrhea complications sometimes even endanger people’s life. To prevent the occurrence of complications, first of all, we must prevent ourselves from infecting with gonorrhea. Once infected with gonorrhea, we should be treated in a regular hospital in time to prevent harm to others or their families.

In addition to the routine treatment, patients can choose Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, which contain plantain seed, dianthus superbus, accumulate, safflower, peach kernel, honeysuckle, houttuynia, and other natural herbs. It has the effect of clearing away heat and toxic material, promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria, killing all the bacteria and pathogens. It can effectively treat male reproductive and urinary tract diseases, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, orchitis, epididymitis, gonorrhea, urethritis, cystitis, pyelonephritis, and balanitis.
The above is a brief introduction of several male gonorrhea complications. Gonorrhea is a kind of disease that is difficult to treat completely and easy to infect. We must pay attention to prevention. Only by developing a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, in daily life can we effectively avoid the diseases.
