Chronic Gonorrhea (Gleet).

A case of Gonorrhea that lasts longer than three months is called chronic. There is a number of different conditions that may keep Gonorrhea up for many months and even years. Chronic Gonorrhea differs from acute by the absence of pains, swelling, or any other violent or acute symptom. The discharge is either very slight, just a drop in the morning (so-called good morning drop) or none at all. Frequently a man feels no discomfort of any kind and does not notice anything abnormal, except possibly a slight pasting and glueing of the urethral canal, in which cases only a close examination of the urine will show that it is full of shreds; but a large majority of the cases of chronic Gonorrhea is accompanied with more or less copious discharge, commonly called Gleet.

Chronic Gonorrhea may be limited either to the front part of the Urethra or to the deep rear part.
