Deep Gonorrhea.
Acute deep Gonorrhea is usually brought about by some indiscretion on the part of the patient, such as violent physical exercise like running, jumping, dancing, or it may be also produced by drinking of alcoholic liquors or by strong and improperly done injections at the hands of self-doctoring patients. It develops usually from the third or fifth week from the beginning of the sickness. The first symptom of acute deep Gonorrhea is the increase in frequency and painful urination. The most characteristic feature is that the pains are not felt in the beginning or during the act of urination, but right at the end of it, due to spasmodic contractions of the deep urethral muscle on highly inflamed parts. Another distressing feature is the frequency and urgency of urination, so that the patient cannot hold back his urine for a moment, but has to void it immediately. One more symptom that often misleads the patient into the belief that he is getting better, while in reality the opposite is true, is a rather sudden stoppage of the discharge, which has been rather free. At the same time quite often a drop or two of bloody discharge appears at the close of urination, accompanied with the intense spasmodic pains mentioned above. This combination of symptoms makes the acute deep Gonorrhea a most distressing and alarming complication to the patient, and frequently he wakes up for the first time on this occasion to a full realization of the serious and dangerous nature of Gonorrhea. Acute deep Gonorrhea, under intelligent care, subsides and quiets down in two to three weeks, but for a complete cure it takes from six to eight weeks more, so that all together these cases take from two to three months. The importance of Acute Deep Gonorrhea lies mainly in the fact that it indicates that Gonorrhea Germs have penetrated deep into the system, opening a gateway for other deep and serious complications.
