Extractions: The Truth About Herpes What is Gonorrhea? Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae . The bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae first discovered in 1879. Neisseria gonorrhoeae grows and multiplies quickly in moist, warm areas of the body such as the cervix, urethra, mouth, or rectum. It can infect the genital tract, the mouth, and the rectum. In women, the opening (cervix) to the womb (uterus) from the birth canal is the first place of infection. The disease however can spread into the womb and fallopian tubes, resulting in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Gonorrhea is the most common reportable infectious disease in the United States. There are an estimated 1. 5 million cases annually in the US.

See also gonorrhea - male Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Gonorrhea is one of the most common infectious bacterial diseases and is most frequently transmitted during sexual activity, including vaginal intercourse and both oral and anal sex. Gonorrhea is a reportable disease and all state governments require that cases of diagnosed gonorrhea be reported to the health authorities (State Board of Health). This allows for adequate follow-up and testing of sexual contacts. There are almost 400,000 cases of gonorrhea reported to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) each year in the United States. There are probably many cases that are treated but not reported. The total number of cases is thought to approach 1,000,000; if unreported cases are included, some estimates reach 2,000,000. A rate of 400,000 cases per year means that 1 out of every 687 Americans has gonorrhea. A rate of 2 million means that 1 in every 130 Americans are infected. Gonorrhea is more common in large metropolitan areas, inner-city areas, populations with lower overall levels of education and people with lower socioeconomic status. Gonorrhea is most prevalent in people 15 to 29 years old. Risk factors include having multiple sexual partners, having a partner with a past history of any STD, and having unprotected sex (sex without the use of a condom).

Extractions: Are there tests for gonorrhea? ... Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Gonorrhea is a very common sexually transmitted disease (STD). This means that it is a disease that you get by having sex with someone who already has gonorrhea. The disease is caused by the gonococcus bacteria that can multiply and grow in moist, warm areas of the body. In women, gonorrhea can infect the cervix (opening to the uterus, or womb), uterus (womb), and fallopian tubes (tubes that carry eggs from the ovary to the uterus). It can also infect the urethra (urine canal) in men and women, as well as the mouth, throat, and rectum. Gonorrhea can be treated and cured by antibiotics. But, you can get the disease more than once - antibiotics will not protect you from getting gonorrhea again. This STD can cause serious and long lasting health problems in both women and men. And, if you have gonorrhea, you are more likely to become infected with HIV , the virus that causes AIDS, if you are exposed to the virus.

Extractions: Advertisement What is Gonorrhea? Gonorrhea is one of the most well known STDs. Commonly referred to as 'the clap', gonorrhea is thought to infect about 1.3 million people in the USA every year. About half of those cases are never reported. The disease is caused by the bacteria neisseria gonorrhea which causes inflammation of the glands. The bacteria grows and multiples in the warm moist areas of the body. It primarily affects the urethra in men and the cervix in women. Gonorrhea of the rectum is also possible for those who practice anal sex. It is an STD that is both treatable and preventable. Featured Video What is Gonorrhea? Transcript What are the symptoms of Gonorrhea? The symptoms of gonorrhea depend on what part of the genital area is infected. If the gonorrhea has infected the urethra, a man or woman may experience a burning sensation while urinating and additional discharge from the urethra. The burning may be extremely or mildly painful, and is complicated by the fact the patient may feel the need to urinate more often. The discharge from the urethra may be clear or milky and range in color from white to yellow-green. The groin will sometimes feel swollen and tender. There may, however, be no symptoms present (as in about 50% of women by some accounts) and some individuals may unknowingly infect their partner(s).

Extractions: Back To The Little Library This document is a discussion between David Little and his German counterpart, Andres. There has been a resurgence of reading Hahemannan's classical works on the chronic miasms in America and Germany. In homoeopathy the affects of VD infections, the suppression of their symptoms, and the chronic degenerative diseases result are studied in detail. This is because venereal diseases are specific genus miasms which affects human beings as individuals and groups through infection or inheritance. Today the affect of venereal disease is very wide spread throughout the human race. Now to complement the sycosis and syphilis we have witnessed the development of a new venereal miasms at the close of the 20th century AIDS. With the advent of antibiotics orthodox medicine believes it has a magic bullet treatment for both gonorrhea and syphilis. They still to not realize the that the suppression of the symptoms of venereal miasms does not cure the underlying chronic state.. Slowly but surely the miasma, sycosis, disease-tunes the vital force leading the classical symptoms of degenerative diseases. The symptoms of the sycotic miasm are called arthritis, rheumatism, heart disease, a tumor, a kidney stone but the orthodox physician only see so many new diseases without wondering their true source. More medicine is used to suppress the symptoms and the miasma goes deeper and deeper into the vital centers of like. Only a homoeopath trained in Hahnemann's classical methods knows how to remove these miasms completely.

Extractions: GONORRHEA In Illinois, the incidence of gonorrhea has declined significantly since 1975, when 64,560 cases were reported. Yet, more than 23,000 cases of the disease were reported in the state in 1999. It is estimated that another nearly 20,000 cases, mostly among teenagers and young adults, go unreported each year. The approximate annual cost of gonorrhea and its complications in Illinois is over $3 million. What is gonorrhea? Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a bacterium, Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonococcus), that grows and multiplies in moist, warm areas of the body such as the cervix, urethra, throat or rectum. In women, the cervix is the most common site of infection. However, the disease can spread to the uterus and fallopian tubes, resulting in pelvic inflammatory disease. This, in turn, can cause infertility and ectopic pregnancy. How is gonorrhea spread? Gonorrhea is most commonly spread during genital contact, but it can also be passed from the genitals of one partner to the throat of the other during oral sex. Gonorrhea of the rectum can occur in people who practice anal intercourse and may also occur in women due to the spread of the infection from the vaginal area. Gonorrhea can be passed from an infected woman to her newborn infant during delivery. When the infection occurs in children, it is most commonly due to child abuse.

Where to go for help You may have heard of this STI by other names such as "the clap" or "a dose." Gonorrhea is a common STI which, if not treated early, can cause serious health problems, especially for women. Gonorrhea in women left untreated could lead to a painful, long-term condition called PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) and infertility (the inability to have children). A pregnant woman can pass gonorrhea to her baby during birth, and cause a serious eye infection or blindness. You can get gonorrhea from oral, vaginal and anal sex. If you catch gonorrhea from having sex with an infected partner, you might not notice any symptoms. If you do, they will appear three to five days after sex.

Extractions: Overview Gonorrhea, also known as "the clap," is one of the most commonly occurring STDs. It affects the moist mucous membranes of the urethra, cervix, rectum, mouth, throat, and eyes. Both men and women may carry the disease without experiencing symptoms. Gonorrhea frequently occurs with nongonoccal urethritis ( NGU ) and chlamydia Incidence and Prevalence In the United States, an estimated 1.5 million people may be infected annually. About one-half of cases are unreported or are diagnosed late in the course of disease; therefore, incidence may be as high as 3 million cases annually. There is a 20% to 50% risk for contracting gonorrhea from a single exposure. However, incidence has been declining in the United States since the 1970s. About 80% of cases occur in people between the ages of 15 and 30.
