The harm of gonorrhea is not significant
Firstly, male gonorrhea is prone to urethritis, inflammation and abscess around the urethra, phimosis, vasculitis, seminal vesiculitis, hydrocele, orchitis, prostatitis, balanoposthitis, gonococcal ulcer, orchitis, urethral stricture, etc. What are the specific hazards of gonorrhea? The details are as follows:
1. Gonorrheic paraurethritis: The accessory urethra mostly opens around the external opening of the urethra, or around the frenulum, or along the midline skin on the dorsal side of the penis. When gonorrhea patients have this type of accessory urethra, it is very easy to be affected and cause obvious inflammation.
2. Gonorrhea prostatitis: 2 types of chronic prostatitis and acute prostatitis!
3. Gonorrhea seminal vesiculitis, in which gonococcal bacteria invade through the ejaculatory duct, vas deferens, or lymphatic system. The swelling sensation in the perineum worsens during urination, and the hernia radiates towards the vas deferens and testicles, resulting in clear urine.
4. Gonorrhea is a retrograde infection that infects the male prostate, seminal vesicles, and testicles. If sperm abnormalities occur, it can lead to infection of the cervix, endometrium, fallopian tubes, etc. in infertile women, causing salpingitis, blocked fallopian tubes, and infertility. Dysfunction in urination, weak urinary tract, short range, and even urine accumulation.
5. Gonorrhea can often be accompanied by urethritis, inflammation and abscess around the urethra, phimosis, vasculitis, seminal vesiculitis, hydrocele, orchitis, prostatitis, balanoposthitis, gonococcal ulcer, epididymitis, and urethral stricture. In severe cases, it can also infect the rectum, perianal area, conjunctiva, and pharynx, causing gonococcal proctitis, gonococcal conjunctivitis, gonococcal pharyngitis, and urethral stricture after gonorrhea.
