Gonorrhea symptoms in men
Greenish yellow or whitish discharge from the penis
Burning when urinating
Burning in the throat (due to oral sex)
Painful or swollen testicles
Swollen glands in the throat (due to oral sex)
Sometimes no symptoms exhibit
There are an estimated 820,000 new gonorrhea infections in the US each year. It not only affects the reproductive tract, but can also affect the mucus membranes of the mouth, throat, eyes, joints and rectum.
OK, enough with the scary stuff. Well, not really. If your "Johnson" is dripping anything other than the usual body fluids, and we all know what they should be, then it is a scary situation. But all drips are not the same, as was the two cases this week that came across my desk. Both men exhibited the classic signs, painful urination and of course the yellowish discharge, unprotected sex, etc. etc. Drop trousers and a culture we will do. I sure they thought you going to stick what, where,? MY JOHNSON!
Both cases were cleared for gonorrhea but both still had nasty bacterial infections. In fact, one had two different kinds of bacteria growing with heavy growth of each. The culprits in these cases turned out to be: Staph saprophyticus, Proteus mirabilis, E. coli. all easily treated. Especially since the E. coli was highly sensitive to all tested antibiotics, which would have been a different story if it had turned out as an ESBL. But that's a different story for a different time, and too boring of a tale.
Long story short, if your penis is dripping, get it checked out! Yes, it will require someone sticking a swab up your Johnson or at the least a first morning catch of urine....
Be responsible and wear protection if you don't know anything about the hole your sticking it in....

A great PSA. I take good care of my Johnston with regular check up yearly. It's an important part for me. I like to keep him in good hands.
mistress maddie; thanks for stopping by the closet and taking the time to leave a comment. Keeping him in good hands is a good idea, you can never be too careful when it comes to your Johnson.
What is up with gay men these days where it has suddenly become some great offense to want to use a condom. How quickly people forget what happened in the late eighties and nineties. What is wrong with the younger people who see getting HIV as no big deal, just part of gay life to some. I just don't get it.
Sooo-this-is-me; Lot of it deals with young people thinking they are invincible and it couldn't happen to them. Remember it only happens to other people! This is also the case with straight guys, as well. Antibiotics can take care of (bacterial infections), even if it had been gonorrhea in both of these situations mentioned, but there are a few things out there soap can't wash off, if you know what I mean.
I drip occassionally but its my age
John Gray; lol, yes with age a lot of things don't work as they once did. You being a nurse knows this all to well, I sure.
two cents added:
Not everyone with STD have symptoms.
So, if you are sexually active, please get checked out regularly. Do not rely on the lack of symptoms.
Ur-spo; Absolutely as noted in the list, symptoms will not always manifest noticeably, especially in men. The key word Ur-spo states here is sexually active! Please listen to his advice.
