Urethral swelling, redness of the urethral meatus, is it gonorrhea?

Patient's question:

Urethral swelling, red and swollen urethral orifice, with yellow pus discharge, frequent urination
Symptoms started in April

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic treatment should be initiated early and should be thorough. Effective antibiotics should be selected based on bacterial drug sensitivity tests. Alternatively, compound sulfamethoxazole can be used first, or quinolones, ampicillin, or amoxicillin, or cephalosporins, etc., can be chosen. Adjustments should be made after receiving the test results. Treatment duration: Since most recurrent cases are due to reinfection, short-course therapy has been widely adopted in recent years for the treatment of urinary tract infections.
