For everyone - but especially for adults

Gonorrhea is a bacterial infection that is usually spread through sexual contact. The disease usually occurs in the form of painful blisters on your genitals or mouth. Gonorrhea is spread through unprotected sex.

After initial infection, the gonorrhea bacterium can remain in your body for decades before it becomes active again and again. Early gonorrhea can be treated easily and quickly, but if the disease becomes chronic or the patient hides the disease, the disease becomes incurable. Without treatment, the gonorrhea bacterium can cause severe damage to your heart, brain, or other organs, and the infected man can kill his wife and newborn babies.

Gonorrhea spreads in three stages and the symptoms of each stage may be different.

The symptoms of early gonorrhea can be as follows:

Primary Gonorrhea

The disease begins with the appearance of lesions on the genitals. A sore appears where bacteria have entered your body. In men, the urethra is the first victim. In women, the vagina becomes sore. Remember, the first stage of the disease can be cured with four to six weeks of standard treatment.

Secondary gonorrhea - a secondary disease

In the second stage, the disease appears in the form of sores all over your body, up to the soles of the hands and soles of the feet. It can also cause wart-like lesions in the mouth or genitals.

In addition, hair loss in patients may cause muscle pain, fever, sore throat, but genital warts must be present.

Level 3 disease - worsening stage

If you are not being treated for gonorrhea, the disease progresses from the second to the third stage

Gonorrhea can damage your brain, nerves, eyes, heart, blood vessels, liver, bones, and joints if left untreated.

The gonorrhea bacteria most commonly enter your body from an infected person during sexual activity.

Even with a kiss or during childbirth in a pregnant mother, a baby can transmit the disease directly through the mother.

Note that the disease is not spread by the use of clothing, bathing together in the swimming pool, toilet seat, or eating utensils.

Reasons

The most common causes of the disease are:

Ø Sexual intercourse with more than one person

Ø Homosexuality

Ø Gonorrhea without treatment also increases the risk of HIV infection and, for women, can cause problems during pregnancy. Besides that

Ø Stroke

Ø Inflammation and coma of the meninges, Eardrums, and eyes

Ø Memory loss

Heart and blood vessel problems are also included. Most importantly, gonorrhea patients have a 90% higher risk of giving birth to blind children.

Pregnancy and birth complications

If you are pregnant, you can pass gonorrhea to the baby, which can kill the baby in the first ten days after birth.

There is no vaccine available for gonorrhea.

To help prevent the spread of gonorrhea, follow these tips:

Ø Limit sexual activity to one partner only.

Ø Use condoms. But they do not completely eliminate the risk of disease

Ø Drug use lowers the body's immune system, which increases your risk of contracting the disease

Make screening mandatory for pregnant women so that the disease can be detected in a timely manner and with proper treatment, the risks to the baby's life can be reduced.

Appraisal

Blood samples can be used to diagnose the disease

If the disease is complicated, the germs of the disease can also be diagnosed in the spinal cord material.

You can also avoid this disease by keeping yourself away from prostitutes

Treatment

When diagnosed and treated in the early stages, gonorrhea is easier to treat. The preferred treatment in all stages is the use of antibiotics which can kill the germs of this disease.
