Patient's question:
4 months ago, I had a urinary tract infection, which later developed into epididymitis. After a thorough examination, it was confirmed that the gonococcus test was positive. I was treated with azithromycin (Zithromax) for 10 days. The epididymitis was cured, and there are no other symptoms now. It has been more than 3 months since then, and I have not had any other symptoms. How can I be treated except for gonorrhea?Doctor's answer:
If you have a gonococcal infection and have already recovered without symptoms after treatment, it is recommended that you should have fully recovered in this case. If you are still concerned, you can re-examine your urethral discharge to see if it is free of gonococci. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely and appropriate treatment, and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
