Never declare a man well under three monthsfrom the start of the disease unless gonococci are positively absent from theurine and the expressed discharge.

Exploration of the urethra is inaugurated by inspection and external pal-pation. Palpation detects induration, peri-urethritis, follicular abscess orinflammation, C
