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!

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 highly recommend Dr. Pommy, who is a Specialist, in a league of his own.He has given my wife a second lease on life. He is thorough with his investigation and takes the time to explain the prognosis in layman terms. My wife cannot express enough in words of how Blessed she has been to have found this rare gem of a Specialist! Thank you for taking care of my wife.

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.

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.
