Gonorrhea

Gonorrhea is a bacterial sexually transmitted disease. Its most usual symptom is the discharge of pus from the genitals. If a person contracts this disease, the body will sometimes fight it away if given weeks, but anyone who is able to get medical care will demand it within a few days. It is readily and inexpensively treatable by various antibiotics, but a health professional familiar with the geographic region in which it was contracted should recommend the course.
symptoms
Perhaps one-third of people with gonorrhea are asymptomatic, but can still give the disease to other people. Of the people who have symptoms, these usually become apparent within 2 weeks of infection. Both males and females have pain in the genitals when urinating and their urine tract continually drips pus.
spread
Gonorrhea can spread through contact with contaminated blood, but it almost always spreads through sexual fluids. Any sexual fluid – vaginal secretions, pre-ejaculate, or semen – which touches a mucous membrane in the vagina; on the tip of the penis; on the anus; or rarely, in other places; can cause the spread of gonorrhea from one person to another.

Persons with gonorrhea are at greatly increased risk for both contracting and spreading HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Having any other STD greatly increases the risk of contracting gonorrhea.
treatment
At any time, gonorrhea can be cured with antibiotics.

An inexpensive blood test is the most definite way to diagnose gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is a dangerous disease and requires medical attention.
