Sexual transmitted disease (Gonorrhea)

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The bacteria can be passed from one person to another through vaginal, oral, or anal sex, even when the person who is infected has no symptoms.

Gonorrhea can happen in both men and women.

Pregnant woman with gonorrhea may give the infection to her baby as the baby passes through the birth canal during delivery.

Symptoms may include:

• Gonorrhea may cause pelvic inflammatory disease (a serious medical condition that can lead to infertility)
• Infection and irritation of the cervix
• Need to urinate often
• Itching and burning of the vagina, usually with a thick yellow/green discharge

Gonorrhea can leads to:

• Gonorrhea can be very dangerous if it is left untreated, even in someone who has mild or no symptoms.
• In women's, the infection can move into the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries and can lead to scarring and infertility.
• In men's, gonorrhea can spread to the epididymis, causing pain and swelling in the testicular area. This can create scar tissue that might make a guy infertile.
  
  

Other effects of gonorrhea on health

• In both men and women's untreated gonorrhea can affect other organs and parts of the body including the throat, eyes, heart, brain, skin, and joints, although this is less common.
• Gonorrhea can spread to the blood or joints. This condition can be life threatening.
  In addition, people with gonorrhea can more easily contract HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
