Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae,which is mainly characterized by suppurative infection of genitourinary system,and it is one of the sexually transmitted diseases that are mainly monitored,prevented and controlled in China.As there is no effective vaccine against Neisseria gonorrhoeae on the market at present,antimicrobial therapy is still the main means of prevention and treatment of gonorrhea.Although the early use of antibiotics can effectively reduce the severity of infection and reduce the occurrence of complications,it also increases the risk of drug resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.In recent years,the irregular use of antibi-otics by clinicians has led to a gradual increase in drug resistance to gonorrhea,resulting in fewer and fewer targeted antibiotics available.For pa-tients with multiple antibiotic resistance as a result of drug sensitivity culture,antibiotics will be unable to be used,so it is necessary to find and de-velop new antibiotics.Gonorrhea belongs to the categories of"toxic gonorrhea","plaster gonorrhea","seminal fluid turbidity","turbid gonorrhea"and so on in traditional Chinese medicine.Incisive Light on the Source of Miscellaneous Diseases records that"Its stem is burning like being cut by a knife,and there is filth at the orifice,which is like rice tears...like the open eyes".It is close to gonorrhea in modem medicine.In modern Chinese medicine,gonorrhea is called"syphilis"or"poison gonorrhea.Through the continuous summary of thousands of years of clinical experi-ence,Chinese medicine has obvious advantages in the treatment of gonorrhea.Through clinical follow-up,it is found that Simiao pills(四妙丸)combined with modified Bixie Fenqing decoction(草薜分清饮加减)is effective in the treatment of gonorrhea,which provides a treatment idea for future clinicians to treat patients with antibiotic resistance and allergy,and also reduces the possibility of abuse of antibiotics.
