Gonorrhea in man is an infectious-contagious disease caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which is transmitted mostly by unprotected intimate contact, and if not treated correctly can worsen the condition and even lead to more serious consequences such as infertility.
This disease manifests itself through an inflammation in the urethra and an initial light-colored discharge that over time becomes darker and there is usually a burning sensation when urinating.
Main symptoms
The symptoms present in man appear about 2 to 10 days after the infection, where there is a period called incubation time .
After this period the purulent secretion appears with presence of pain when urinating. This secretion can increase with the amount of skin of the penis, but in some cases the infected person does not present any secretion and therefore does not suspect the disease, although it can transmit in every intimate contact without a condom.
How is the treatment done?
The treatment for gonorrhea in man should be prescribed by the urologist, who will prescribe single doses of the antibiotic that best suits his patient, which may be penicillin, for example. See a good home remedy for gonorrhea that can complement the treatment.
In addition, the use of condoms during each intimate contact is of utmost importance for the treatment and prevention of the disease.
