Gonorrhea Symptoms

Our world today is not as safe as before. There are lots of diseases that could be transmitted through the air, physical contact like touching and sometimes there are also be sexually transmitted diseases too.

There are different kinds of sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS, gonorrhea, chlamydia, genital herpes, etc. Aids is the most popular among the sexually transmitted diseases them because there are more public awareness ads about it. But never the less, we should also be aware of the other sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea.
 
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease that is caused by a bacterium, that could grow and multiply easily in warm moist areas, called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Gonnorrhea could grow in areas like the cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes in women and in the urethra, where urine passes though both in men and women. It could also grow in places like the mouth,eyes and anus.

Gonorrhea is a very common sexually transmitted disease. According to statistics, there is an estimate of 700,000 people in the U.S. get new infections every year. To think of it, that is a large number of people, this is due to the reason that gonorrhea could be spread easily. One could get it through contact with the penis, vagina, mouth or anus. If a mother has gonorrhea, when she gives birth to her child, the baby would also acquire it.

Gonorrhea could sometimes be a dormant disease because it takes some time for some people to show signs and symptoms of having it. Have you ever wondered how it is like to be peeing glass? Well, people with gonorrhea do. For men, the signs and symptoms of gonorrhea is having swollen or painful testicles. When urinating, a sensation similar to burning is felt. This could be accompanied with a white, green or yellow discharge from the penis. This is why many guys say it feels just like peeing glass. For women the symptoms are usually milder.

This includes increased vaginal discharge, burning sensation when urinating, or vaginal bleeding between periods. Such symptoms are sometimes mistaken for simple vaginal or bladder infection. For some people that have gonorrhea, they sometimes describe their condition as if they were peeing glass. The burning sensation when urinating is equated to peeing glass due to the pain it brings when they urinate. There are times that there is blood too when they do so.

Having gonorrhea could bring complicated conditions to people. For men epididymitis would be one condition brought up by gonorrhea. This would show signs of having painful testicles. If this condition is not treated, infertility would be the outcome. It could lead to having pelvic inflammatory disease for women. This includes a combination of fever, abdominal and chronic pelvic pain, and infertility.

We really wouldn’t want to be peeing glass like people with gonorrhea do. That’s why we should take precautions from acquiring it. The best way to avoid having it is not to have sexual activity or to stick to a monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested negative of having the sexually transmitted disease. Remember, we should always be on guard with such conditions because we could never be too sure.
