what is gonarrhea?

Answer 1

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Gonorrhea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterium that can grow and multiply easily in the warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract, including the cervix (opening to the womb), uterus (womb), and fallopian tubes (egg canals) in women, and in the urethra (urine canal) in women and men. The bacterium can also grow in the mouth, throat, eyes, and anus.

Answer 2

Gonorrhea


Also known as clap, gonorrhea is a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease. A bacterium called neisseria gonorrhoeae causes gonorrhea. This bacterium multiplies very quickly in the urinary tracts of men and the reproductive organs of women. Many times, gonorrhea remains undiagnosed in women, as the symptoms may be absent. That may cause development of pelvic inflammatory disease in women. This is a highly dangerous condition. Gonorrhea can be treated with antibiotics. If you learn more and keep watch over any symptoms that indicate that you might have contacted gonorrhea, you will save yourself a lot of pain. Lets find out more about gonorrhea.

Answer 3

Gonorrhoea is caused by bacteria known as Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It usually affects the genital area, although the throat or anus (back passage) may also be involved. Gonorrhoea affects both men and women and is easily transmitted during vaginal intercourse. It can also be transmitted during anal or oral sex.

Gonorrhoea may not cause symptoms in women
A lack of specific signs and symptoms means gonorrhoea may go undetected for longer in women. Often there are no symptoms. Sometimes, gonorrhoea causes:

An unusual discharge from the vagina
Pain while urinating or passing water.
Untreated gonorrhoea can lead to infertility in women
If left untreated, gonorrhoea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can cause infertility. Symptoms of PID include:
Lower abdominal pain and tenderness
Deep pain during sexual intercourse
Heavy and painful periods
Fever.
Women who have had PID need to be especially careful about gonorrhoea, because the risk of infertility increases with each bout of inflammation.

A check for gonorrhoea may be recommended
Because gonorrhoea may not cause symptoms until PID has already developed, sexually active women who have recently had a change of sexual partner or feel they may be at risk of a sexually transmissible infection (STI) should have a test for gonorrhoea (and for chlamydia infection).

Men may experience a burning sensation while urinating
Gonorrhoea commonly infects the inside of the penis (the urethra). Symptoms may include:
A burning sensation while urinating or passing water
A white or yellow pus-like discharge from the penis
Swelling and pain in the testicles, which can occur if the gonorrhoea infection goes untreated.
In a small percentage of men there are no symptoms at all.

Oral and anal gonorrhoea
In both men and women:
Anal gonorrhoea often occurs without signs or symptoms
Gonorrhoea in the throat may cause a sore throat, however, it usually occurs without symptoms.
Gonorrhoea is treated with antibiotics
Gonorrhoea is treated with antibiotics. Some strains of gonorrhoea are now resistant to penicillin and some other antibiotics

Answer 4

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is a bacterial infection of the urethra in men and the urethra, cervix, or both in women. Gonorrhea can also infect the rectum, anus, throat, pelvic organs, and rarely, the conjunctiva, which is the membrane that lines the eyelid and eye surface.
You may hear some people refer to gonorrhea as the clap, drip, or GC.
Women are at higher risk of getting gonorrhea than men.
Should also be noted: a person contracting any sexually transmitted infection (STI) is 25% more likely to contract HIV than the average person due to the associated behaviors .
