Gonorrhea infection: Am I infected?

Gonorrhea Topic

Gonorrhea infection is one of the most complaints in my office. Typically, the most high-risk aspect of patients in this disease will be in young male along with the history of an active sexual intercourse. Patients will experience a purulent (pus) discharge from urethra and painfully urination within 14 days after exposed to infected partner. In this content, I will let you know related to the general information of this sexually transmitted disease, Neisseria gonorrhea.

Gonorrhea infection: Am I infected?
A nightmare for Gentlemen is, more than 50% of female will never manifest any symptoms.

Neisseria gonorrhea infection.

Neisseria gonorrhea is a human pathogen which is transmitted via sexual activity. World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that newly 106 million new Gonorrhea cases are reported annually worldwide. It was reported that more cases in male due to a show-symptom and more incidence among men whom having sex with men (gay).

Gay
Gonorrhea infection is reported more in men whom having sex with men.

The nightmare for Gentlemen! More than 50% of female will never manifest any symptoms, and then the vaginal discharge, painful urination and pelvic pain can be little cautious signs for female patients.  Gentlemen with over than 90% will be symptomatic once infected with Gonorrhea. Since Gonorrhea infection is clinical diagnosis so the confirmation test, it just an optional for individuals.  Latest invented nucleic acid amplification test kit (NAATs) gives us more than 95% detection rate with simple first catch of urine sampling.

Urine test
Latest technology on special urine test is reported more than 95% detection rate.

When Gonorrhea infection has been diagnosed, couple therapies are recommended due to Gonorrhea always co-infected with Chlamydia bacteria. Basically, the patients must receive one intramuscular injection shot and another with oral tablets to complete course. The most essential part, if suspicious partner has been considered, so they might have to receive the same regimen treatment in order to complete the eradication of the root that caused infection.

IM injection
Intramuscular antibiotic injection is recommended when Gonorrhea infection has been diagnosed.

Sometimes the question will rose up like; if we don’t treat Gonorrhea, and what will happen? Absolutely, it will induce serious complication on reproductive health for both male and female, a chronic unexplainable pelvic pain, infertility issue or even abortions for instance.

Fortunately, Gonorrhea infection is very easily treating matter, but patients still need to follow the post-treatment instructions as below.

  • Abstaining from sex at least 1 week during therapeutic
  • Considering on the safe sexual method for example using condom if you have sex with outsider sex partner. There was a report that 27% of diagnosed HIV infection patients have had the gonorrhea infection history within 12 months. What a risky from sexual activity improper! Don’t try to put yourself at risk! Take care and stay safe from gonorrhea!

Dr. Pommy and his exceptional team at the hospital have left an indelible mark on my recent healthcare experience. As a 73-year-old expatriate living in Thailand for over two decades, I’ve had my share of medical encounters, and I can confidently say that my recent surgery for a hydrocele under Dr. Pommy’s care was nothing short of exceptional. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Pommy’s professionalism and expertise shone through. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, alleviating any concerns I had. During the surgery, his precision and skill were evident, ensuring a smooth and successful outcome. Moreover, the hospital staff, under Dr. Pommy’s leadership, provided service that exceeded my expectations. Their attention to detail, compassionate care, and unwavering professionalism created a supportive environment that made a significant difference in my overall experience. Being a longtime resident of Thailand, I have witnessed the evolution of healthcare in this country, and I must say that Dr. Pommy and his team are a testament to its remarkable progress. I am immensely grateful for their dedication and would recommend Dr. Pommy and the hospital to anyone seeking top-notch medical care and unwavering professionalism.

I met Dr Soarawee Weerasopone (Dr. Pom) in Phnom Penh when I consulted him for my father’s prostate symptoms in his capacity as the Chief Urology Department of the Royal Phnom Penh Hospital. First and foremost, Dr. Pom is a professional urologist and his guidance and advice are practical and he provided informed decision. Second, I can frankly tell you that he is one of the best urology doctors I had ever known before and his recommendations sound. He suggested me for my father’s follow up treatment at his new hospital, Burapa University Hospital in Chun Bori, Thailand, is best treatment option and reasonably affordable. Last but not least, Dr. Pom is a trusted and reliable professional who you can rely on when you need the urology expert. I have no hesitation to recommend him to you. Best, P. Kong.

Hi everyone. Just a quick review on Doctor Pom. I contacted Dr Pom on messenger regarding a urinary problem. He replied almost immediately and asked me my symptoms. I replied with the symptoms I had and he advised me immediately. He even sent me an appointment notification to show at the specified hospital on my arrival. This was a great service as I got booked in straight away. He set up the necessary examinations and talked me through the results once they were completed. All in a all a great experience and very smooth transition through the hospital. Thank you Doctor Pom. Should I have any further problems I would not hesitate to send you a message and use your services.

Thank You. I’ve been fortunate over my long life in that I have had to make very few visits to the hospital, but I do remember well the regular trips to my local pediatrician as a boy in the suburbs of New York, and I was reminded of them during my visit to Dr. Soarawee. Yes, he is a top-tier world-class urologist, among many other things including being one of the few physicians, certainly in this part of the world, trained in the use of the Da Vinci Robotic Assisted Surgery system. But it was his generosity in taking the time to sit down with me and answer all my questions both before and after my procedure, his ‘family-doctor’ style bedside manner when he came up to my room to see how I was feeling, all of these human touches from a very busy guy who was constantly flying around the region, that impressed me most. Dr. Soarawee also treated my condition successfully, and I awoke after a few hours to find all of the unpleasant symptoms gone. I can’t thank him enough for his skill, and his compassion.

I was in excruciating pain when I went to see Dr. Pommy, the Chief Urology Department, Royal Phnom Penh hospital in Cambodia at about 9:00 AM. He surprised me by telling me that I could be treated in the afternoon. After being hit with 7,000 shock waves, NO MORE kidney stone, and no more pain. At the same time, my creatinine levels returned to normal after the treatment that day. It was like killing two birds with one stone. I highly recommend lithotripsy treatment for kidney stones. The treatment was virtually painless and I had relief almost instantly. Dr. Pommy was very kind and professional in handling my health issues.

Mr. Kenji Nakano, Japan

I underwent kidney lithotripsy removal surgery using a laser endoscope at this hospital. This Royal Phnom Penh Hospital is the only hospital in Cambodia that can perform this procedure, and I was transported to this hospital because other hospitals could not handle it. The doctor in charge was Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone, a member of the Department of Urology. This doctor was very kind and friendly, and even after I was discharged from the hospital, he used Line to take care of me a lot. In addition, there is a Japanese Help Deck here, and the staff used the Japanese very well and responded politely. The necessary documents for insurance coverage were also prepared immediately. I think this is a wonderful hospital.

This was 8 – 10 times a night which effecting my overall health and well being, my quality of life went down hills. I found Dr Soarawee Weerasopone on the Google search. Chat with the doctor he patiently listen to my problems and give an answer. He ask me to come in for testing. 3 weeks later my symptom or ailments are gone.

Dr. Pommy is great!, On a recent routine check-up, I discovered a kidney stone and cyst on my kidney. I was advised to see Dr. Pommy for a follow-up, and i’m glad that I did as he is the premier urologist in my area (Cambodia). If you simply Google his name, his experience and credentials are the first things you encounter. Dr. Pommy is accessible and answered my questions in a well-thought and knowledgeable manner. He assured me that my new discoveries (stone and cyst) were nothing to worry about with a relatable explanation that broke down the science/results. He is very patient oriented, and is willing to answer any follow-up questions with further explanation. If you are in Asia (Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam), and in need of an expert opinion or consultation, Dr. Pommy is a great person to speak with.
