How long does it take to treat gonococcal urethritis?

Many people think that gonococcal urethritis is a disease unique to women. This understanding is wrong, because this disease is not only common in women, but men are also very likely to get the disease. How long does it take to treat gonococcal urethritis? According to some medical experts, the answer is that this is not a complicated disease, so it can basically be cured within a few months. So what are the causes of this type of disease? Let’s take a look together.

Chronic gonococcal urethritis usually spreads after an acute phase, which usually lasts about 2 months. During this period, the patient's symptoms are not as obvious as in the acute phase, but there will be some gonorrheal complications. For example, men may show symptoms of gonococcal urethritis in the early stages. If it is not treated properly or not treated at all, the bulbar, membranous and prostatic urethra will continue to be infected, resulting in symptoms of gonococcal prostatitis. Even the seminal vesicles, testicles, and epididymis are adjacent to the prostate, and gonococci can infect them one by one, causing patients to develop gonococcal seminal vesiculitis, gonococcal orchitis, gonococcal epididymitis, etc.

1. At this time, the patient needs treatment not only to eliminate gonococci, but also to treat prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, orchitis, or epididymitis. In this case, the effectiveness of Western medicine's antibiotic treatment is minimal. If the treatment time is not long enough, it will not be effective enough, and if the treatment time is too long, drug resistance is likely to occur. Diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills can effectively solve this problem. They can not only treat gonococcal infections, but also the complications caused by them.

2. The incubation period of chronic gonococcal urethritis in women is not as obvious as that in men. Gonorrhea lurks deep in the cervical glands, paraurethral glands, and Bartholin's glands, constantly stimulating the tissue mucosa, causing continuous edema and congestion of the above organs, and then spreading to various pelvic organs, causing pelvic inflammatory lesions. Such as leading to salpingitis, endometritis, secondary tubal abscess and pelvic abscess, peritonitis, etc.; the consequence of these infections is tubal adhesion, obstruction, infertility or ectopic pregnancy.

3. For gonococcal infections with complications, especially for women with pelvic inflammatory infection, Western medicine often recommends combined medication. However, with long-term treatment, drug resistance becomes more and more obvious than with single drug treatment. For the treatment of gonococcal complications in women, Chinese medicine can effectively relieve and eliminate the symptoms of discomfort, and on the basis of treating gonococci, it can also restore the tissue activity of various organs.

No matter how long it takes to treat gonococcal urethritis, as long as it can be cured, it is a great thing for the patient himself. In addition, because gonococcal urethritis involves the urethra, you should pay attention to personal hygiene after urinating or defecating, and timely cleaning will also play a certain role in the recovery of the disease. Of course, you still need to pay attention to your diet in daily life, and eat light food.
