Gonorrhea
There are several ways to transmit gonorrhea.
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the infection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, primarily characterized by acute purulent infections of the urogenital tract. The main transmission route of gonorrhea is through sexual contact, followed by mother-to-child transmission, blood transmission, and close living contact transmission, which can also spread gonorrhea. Since Neisseria gonorrhoeae has very poor viability outside the human body, common disinfectants can deactivate it, and the main transmission mode of gonorrhea is still primarily through the classic route of sexual contact.
Can gonorrhea cause blood in urine?
Gonorrhea infection can present with symptoms of blood in the urine. Common symptoms of gonorrhea include urethral discharge, a large amount of purulent secretion on the underwear, as well as frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination. Blood in the urine can also occur, although it is less common. Besides gonorrhea, stones must also be ruled out if blood in the urine is observed. If there is only blood in the urine, the likelihood of it being gonorrhea is relatively small, as gonorrhea usually presents with other accompanying symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain during urination, and itching in the urethra.
What should you avoid eating if you have gonorrhea?
Actually, the dietary restrictions for gonorrhea are not very special and are quite similar to those of general diseases. For gonorrhea, one should not drink alcohol, try to avoid staying up late, and avoid overly spicy and stimulating foods, such as extremely spicy dishes, hot pots, and fried foods. The diet should be as bland as possible. Of course, if we consider one's own resistance, it is possible to make some soup and eat some good chicken soup, which can also improve one's resistance.
How is gonorrhea tested in women?
For female gonorrhea testing, the main areas examined are the cervical canal and urinary meatus. This involves using a speculum to open the cervix, and then taking secretion samples for laboratory testing. The lab tests can detect Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that indicates a gonococcal infection. This type of infection commonly affects the cervix and urethra, leading to symptoms in the urinary system and abnormal vaginal discharge. This disease is mostly transmitted through sexual activity, and it is necessary for both partners to be treated simultaneously.
Symptoms of gonorrhea on the glans penis
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the infection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. There are differences in symptoms between infected men and women. In men, gonorrhea generally presents as acute urethritis. Most patients infected with Neisseria gonorrhoeae will experience redness and swelling at the urinary meatus, pain during urination, difficulty in urinating, and a pasty phenomenon at the urinary meatus, accompanied by purulent discharge. Some patients may not show obvious symptoms, only experiencing itching and stinging on the glans penis.
