Gonorrhea |

|
Gonorrhea, also know as the clap, is a bacterial infection that you can only
get through sexual contact. The bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhoeae is
very adept to places that are dark, warm and wet, and flourishes in the vagina
and the urinary tract. If gonorrhea is left untreated in men can cause a
nasty infection to your penis, and if left further untreated can spread to the
joints, heart, and the brain. Plus unlike some of the other STD's, you
can not become immune to gonorrhea after you get it, so you have to use
precautions to help prevent getting the disease, and practicing safe sex is
always a great start. Spermicidal jellies and creams are always
recommended, especially ones that contain nonoxynol-9, which is deadly to the
bacteria.
Symptoms usually start as a tingling sensation in the penis, then burning while urinating, then it progresses into a discharge of fluid from the tip of the penis. It is usually green, gray or white in color, and you will then know it is truly time to see a Doctor about the condition. However, one should seek medical attention immediately when the first to symptoms arise, for if it is untreated can cause serious complications in the long run. What is troubling about the disease is that it is estimated that nearly 80% of men and women will have no initial symptoms of the disease in it first stages, and will only find out they had the disease after developing more serious complications. To find out for sure if you have gonorrhea, see a doctor and examine the discharge fluid under a microscope to detect the presence of gonococcus, this test is extremely accurate, and you can usually get the results before you leave the office. Another way is to do a culture test of the discharge, doing both accurately determines if you have the disease or not. If the disease is detected, the Doctor will subscribe to you penicillin, which is a highly effective treatment to get rid of the disease. More than likely some of the new antibiotics will be given for treatment since a small strain of the bacteria have developed a resistance to old antibiotics and penicillin. So its a good idea to stick with what works at the moment. | |
