Gonorrhoea

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the obligate human pathogen that causes the sexually transmitted disease (STD) gonorrhea. This Gram-negative diplococci/gonococci does not infect other animals or experimental animals and does not survive freely in the environment. The gonococcal infection occurs in the upper or lower tract, pharynx, ophthalmic area, rectum, and bloodstream. During the 1980’s gonorrhea was also referred to as “the clap” when public awareness was quite minimal. This was one of the venereal diseases prostitutes hoped to contract since it resulted in infertility by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). As documentation, diagnostic testing, and public awareness improved, there has been a decline

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease that however, can be transmitted through sharing of sex toys and can also be transmitted "from mother to child during vaginal delivery." (Women's Health Zone, 2011) The work of Brooks (nd) states "People usually report symptoms 2-15 after exposure, although some people show no symptoms at all. Men are more likely to notice symptoms than are women. Males with asymptomatic urethritis are important reservoirs for transmission and are at increased risk for developing complications. If there are symptoms, both male and females usually have white/yellow discharge, dysuria, and irritation or

Like Chlamydia, Gonorrhea can also infect the genitals and throat (Friedman & Skancke, 2009). This sexually transmitted infection affects more than 800,000 women and men every year in the United States (Shoquist & Stafford, 2004). Although symptoms are uncommon, the symptoms often experienced include vomiting, pain in the genital area, unusually thick discharge, and the urge to urinate more than usual (Sutton, 2006). Gonorrhea can lead to infertility in both men and women, and during pregnancy can lead to premature labor and stillbirth (Shoquist & Stafford,

Gonorrhea is similar to chlamydia in that it does not usually have symptoms, and the ones that are displayed are similar to those of chlamydia. The symptoms in men are more obvious than those seen in women, who may not show symptoms until the bacteria has spread to cause infections in other reproductive organs. In both men and women, there is a chance of the bacteria reaching the bloodstream and causing heart inflammation and many another diseases. To treat gonorrhea, only cephalosporin drugs (a type of antibiotic) can be used because of gonorrhea’s developed resistance to penicillin, along with most other antibiotics. The case becomes different when patients have both chlamydia and gonorrhea and a different treatment plan has to be

40% of syphilis (all stages), 3% of gonorrhea, and more than 1% of chlamydia cases where either previously documented as HIV co-infected or were concurrently diagnosed

My article if from the Washington Post titled “Gonorrhea Is More Dangerous Than Ever As Resistance To Antibiotics Grows,” written by Lena Sun. According to the article, Neisseria Gonorrhoeae is a drug-resistant diplococcal (coffee bean-shaped) bacteria, which causes gonorrhea and is the second most common infectious disease in the United States. This bacteria is only found after sexual contact with an infected person after the bacteria attach to the nonciliated epithelial cells of the fallopian tube, they are surrounded by the microvilli that draw them to the surface of the mucosal cell. The types of sexual or direct contact that it can be transmitted by include oral, anal and vaginal sex.

According to the American Sexual Health Association, by 25 every 1 out of 2 sexually active persons will have contracted some form of STD. That's half of sexually active people.

Gonorrhea is a STD found in the genitals, rectum or throat. Gonorrhea is commonly called the clap. The clap is commonly found in boys and girls around the age 15-24. The clap in men have the symptoms of; swollen testicles, hurts to pee, and discolored discharge. For females is; hurts to urinate, bleeding between periods, and increased discharge during periods. If you have it in the rectum, it hurts to poop. Gonorrhea can only be passed on through sex, but can also be passed on through mother to child. Gonorrhea can be cured within 7

In conclusion, discussion of the three sexual transmitted infections, it often makes you wonder, how this disease where ever formed from biblical times until the present

In the USA, an estimated 820,000 new Neisseria Gonorrhea infections occur each year. Gonorrhea is the second most commonly reported communicable disease in the USA. Less than half of them reported to the CDC. CDC stands for Center for Disease Control. CDC is one of the major operating components of the department of health and human services. Gonorrhea is caused by a bacteria “Neisseria Gonorrhoeae”. Neisseria Gonorrhoeae Is spread during vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected partner. Neisseria Gonorrhoeae is a bacteria that can grow and multiply easily in mucus membranes of the body. Can also grow in the warm moist areas of the reproductive tract, including the cervix (opening of the womb), uterus (womb), and fallopian tubes (egg canals) in women, and in the urethra

Bacteria are living, they are not plants nor are they animals but they are a third species all together. Bacteria a prokaryotes, this is an individual cell that doesn’t contain a nucleus. A single bacteria is about the size of a single cell although most of the time there are million of them together as they multiply very quickly. Unlike Bacteria Viruses are non living and hide themselves in cells of living organisms to replicate themselves. Most kinds of viruses are far too small to be seen under a light microscope. Viruses can infect all types of living organisms (plants, animals, etc.). Fungi are very close to plants, compared to viruses and bacteria fungi is a Eukaryote. Fungi, like plants, is a multicellular organism but the key difference

The possibility that the origin of re-infection with gonorrhea in the U.S. military is sexual re-exposure̶-that is, reinfection either by a new infected partner or by the same untreated partner, and not due to resistance to ciprofloxacin, should be

It is caused by Treponema pallidum. It usually effects into stages and can be cure through its medicine but those medicines only work for it, not for the other health related problems. It is transmitted through the direct contact with the syphilis sores. The areas of the body that are most common to contract the bacteria are “regions of the body containing mucous membranes”, such as the “nasal lining, rectum, urethra, and vagina (Shmaefsky, Brian 2009).” This disease can be pass through from pregnant moms to the infants. According to the PBS, NewsHour report, Gay and bisexual men are more prone to syphilis and in the report, it is noted that 82% cases in man are gay and bisexual men. The third common diseases are Gonorrhea, which can affect any membrane of the body from rectum to genital. It can also be transmitted to the babies of infected

Regarding the value of Ro in STI, the core group plays a significant role in the high rate of Ro as well as highly contributes to the persistence of infection. Although encompassing a small proportion of people, the core group is frequently infected and transmits the disease

STDs are both very dangerous and wide spread diseases. In the modern world where the cure for most of the diseases is to be found, some diseases with unknown cure are to be found as well. Among these, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a serious health problem. STDs are sexually transmitted diseases that are caused by bacteria, viruses, fungus, protozoa and parasites which get transferred during activity between two partners. If a person having a sexually transmittable disease in him or her takes part in coitus with another person, there is a chance the micro organism causing the disease may get transferred in to the partner. This type of diseases are commonly refereed to Sexually Transmitted Diseases or STDs. Some STDs have a cure or a treatment and some don’t have a cure or a treatment. They can be prevented from getting transferred using behavioral modifications but they are usually not recognizable by patients and health care organizations. STDs are capable of being transferred through Oral, Vaginal or Anal sex irrespective to the genders of the partners. Many of the STDs which are infamous and common among the world population are HIV/AIDS (Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Human Immunodeficiency Syndrome), Human Papilloma virus, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Herpes, Hepatitis, Syphilis and Ebola. All these diseases have different levels of effects on health of the affected person. Some cause slow and painful death and some show no sign
