Gonorrheal Buboes.
Among acute complications of Gonorrhea should be mentioned also buboes, very much dreaded by the patients, who are pleased to call them, for some reason, “blue balls.” Buboes are a swelling of the glands in the groin, which can be felt as hard and tender knots. Gonorrheal buboes are very harmless, usually go down promptly under treatment, and very seldom form an abscess.
