What is gonorrhea
Gonorrhea caused by NEISSERIA Gonorrhoeae microorganism belongs to highly infectious diseases. Gonorrhea damages the mucous membranes of urinary organs with the development of local inflammation.
Gonorrhea often has no other clinical manifestations. Gonorrhea is sick people of any age, gender, race and social status. However, a group of higher risk of gonor incidence is sexually active teenagers and persons aged 16 - 31 years.
The incidence of gonorads in this group annually reaches 80% of the total number of registered cases of the disease. The increased risk group also includes people who are not practicing safe sex (barrier tools condoms, Miramistin and T.e) or having several sexual partners.
Goronia infection occurs in sexual means, including oral and anal sex.
Gonorona can be infected even after one sexual contact with an infected partner. The risk of gonoron development in this case reaches 50-90%.
Gonorrhea is localized differently and manifests in women and men:
- In women, a favorite localization of the gonorial inflammatory process is a cervix.
- Gonorrhea Men primarily affects the bottom departments of the genitour.
Gonoroks are also observed by gonococcal lesions of the oral mucosa and the rectum, which is detected after the orogenital or homosexual contacts.
Gonorrhea is transmitted almost exclusively by sex. Out-of -olete infection of gonorads is possible very rarely through lingerie, sponges, towels, which are preserved a low gambling.
Infection of newborns gonings can occur during childbirth when the fetal pass through the generic paths of the mother sick.
Sick gonanes for a long time are sources of infection. Patients with an acute form of gonorrhea (in the presence of an island process) usually avoid sexual relations, but Gonorrhea quickly turns into a chronic form, and clinical manifestations are smoothed.
Symptoms of gonorona
In men, the incubation period of the flow of gonorrhis lasts 2-15 days. The first symptoms of gonorrheans appear in 2-5 days after removal with the patient partner. At first, the patient with gonorads feel discomfort in the urethra, after a few hours itching, burning and purulent selection of yellowish - green.
In women, the incubation period of the flow of gonorrhis lasts 1-3 weeks and usually proceeds asymptomatic. The big percentage of the asymptomatic flow of gonorrhea in women leads to a rare detection of the disease in the early stages of the disease, and as a result - high frequency of complications in the form of inflammatory diseases of the small pelvis organs (up to 40%).
Patients with gonane often develop complications that lead to severe consequences. The following complications of gonorrhea in men are distinguished: Balantos; phyms, paraphomosis; lymphangitis; Cavernit; collikulitis; stricture of urethra; orchit; prostatitis; Vesikulit.
Epididimitis (inflammation of the appendages of the testicles) is observed quite often and arises due to the penetration of gonducts into the appendages from the prostate part of the urethra through the seed-winning duct. The disease begins suddenly with the appearance of pain in the area of the appendage of eggs and in the groin area.
Patients have an increase in body temperature up to 39-40°C, chills, headache, weakness. When palpation, the appendages are increased, dense and painful. Scrotum leather tense, hyperemic. Gonococcal lesions of the appendages lead to the formation of scars in ducts of the testicles of eggs. As a result, Azospermia and infertility occur.
Treatment of gonorona
Recently, approaches to gonororal therapy have undergone major changes. This is mainly due to the development of the sustainability of gonococci to the antibiotics of the penicillin row, which in the past were the basis of the treatment of gonorrhea.
In the treatment of gonorrhea, antibiotics that have bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects on gonococci have. With acute fresh gonor, it is sufficient to obtain a therapeutic effect of etiotropic treatment.
Patients with complicated, trapid and chronic forms of gonorona shows complex etiological and pathogenetic therapy. Before the start of the treatment of gonorrhea, it is necessary to undergo a survey on other infections transmitted by sex (STIs), syphilis, chlamydia, HIV, hepatitis B, with.
The treatment of gonorrhea should be conducted strictly under the control of the doctor. During the treatment of gonorrhea, patients should refrain from sexuality, observe a diet (restriction of acute, oily, smoked food, use of bifidoculture yogurts). Proof of successfully conducted treatment of gonorrhea is the disappearance of clinical symptoms and the lack of selection of gonducts based on the results of laboratory research methods.
Sorry of sick gonorad can lead to severe complications.
