- burning and itching in the canals;
- crusting;
- small highlights;
- swelling of the lymph nodes located in the groin.
The type of disease in question is more dangerous than others. This is due to the fact that it often provokes the appearance of purulent foci in the genital area, abdomen, pubis and groin. Such an unpleasant phenomenon can occur only if these areas get purulent discharge directly from the penis. In this regard, if you suspect gonorrhea, you should immediately contact a venereologist.
Acute gonorrhea
Signs of such a "hussar cold" are very pronounced. These include the following symptoms:
- high body temperature;
- stinging or pain when urinating;
- purulent discharge;
- pain in the ovaries and above the pubis.
In the absence of proper treatment of acute gonorrhea, the disease becomes chronic, which greatly complicates the process of its treatment.
Chronic disease
Typically, gonorrhea of a chronic nature resolves without any symptoms. However, the development of such a disease can quickly lead to disastrous consequences. A possible complication of this disease ischronic prostatitis, chronic cystitis, infertility, decreased sex drive and pelvic pain syndrome.
