Gonorrhea - Treatment and Information

Gonorrhea

Gonorrhea is a very common sexually transmitted disease, it is passed from partner to partner during sexual intercourse, oral, and anal sex as well. It can be transmitted by contact with any body fluids containing the organism. Gonorrhea is more common among people who have multiple sex partners. The incubation period for the disease varies between women and men. For women, it takes a little longer, between 7 and 21 days. In men, symptoms occur between 2 - 14 days after infection. Men normally develop a thick yellowish discharge from the penis and experience pain and problems urinating. Although some women have a cloudy vaginal discharge and feel a hot, burning sensation on urination, more than 50% of infected women have no symptoms at all in the early stages. As the disease progresses, an infected woman may go on to experience abnormal menstrual bleeding, rectal itching, and acute inflammation in the pelvic area. At this stage, a woman is usually diagnosed as suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease, or ND, caused by the gonococcal bacteria. ...more

A woman who develops PID can suffer damage to the ovaries and/or fallopian tubes, and may result in infertility The bacteria can also cause gonococcal arthritis, which causes pain and swelling of the joints around the body. This health condition can be misdiagnosed by your doctor as arthritis.

Note: Gonorrhea used to be treated by penicillin, however there are now strains that are resistant.

Gonorrhea contracted through oral sex can cause gonococcal pharyngitis, or inflammation of the throat. This may cause a very sore throat, although many infected person's have no symptoms. If the infection affects the eyes, it is called gonococcal conjunctivitis, and it can lead to scarring and sometimes blindness. Anal sex with an infected partner can cause gonococcal proctitis, resulting in inflammation of the rectum and anus. This form of the disease causes symptoms, such as pain and discharge from the anus, in around 10% of those people infected.

A woman who is infected whether she knows it or not can transmit the disease to her baby during childbirth. During passage through the birth canal, an infant may contract gonococcal ophthalmia, a severe inflammation that can affect one or both eyes. Neisseria gonorrhoeae organisms in the bloodstream can cause blood poisoning, with symptoms that include fever and exhaustion. If the bacteria reaches the brain or heart, then the infection can cause death.

There are many health disorders that may cause a vaginal or penile discharge, a exact diagnosis of gonorrhea must be made by laboratory tests. If a laboratory culture confirms the diagnosis, then quick and effective treatment is important.
