Methods of provocation in the diagnosis of female gonorrhea

Abstract

The diagnosis of gonorrheal diseases of the female genital area is often very difficult. In acute gonorrheal disease, the questioning is solved relatively easily on the basis of clinical manifestations, and bacterioscopically, since finding gonococci in the discharge of the mucous membranes of the female urogenital area facilitates diagnosis. Diagnosis in the stage of latent, i.e., latent asymptomatic gonorrhea, presents great difficulties. In this case, by provocation, they must achieve such a state in the body in order to create the best conditions for reproduction of the gonococcus, that is, to artificially aggravate the process; then, together with the exudate, gonococci will be washed out to the surface, and the latter can be detected in smears.
