Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)

Gonorrhoea

Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by bacteria. It can grow and multiply easily in moist areas of the body, like the genital and urinary tract of men (urethra) or women (cervix, uterus, fallopian), and the mouth, pharynx and anus.

If not treated on time, it can cause serious and permanent health problems, as the bacteria can spread through the reproductive system or, exceptionally, enter the blood and cause skin lesions and pain and swelling in the joints.

Condom use in vaginal, anal and oral sex reduces the risk of transmission.

Prevention. People with gonorrhoea are more likely to become infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) if they have unprotected sex with an infected person.

The correct use of condoms in all (vaginal, anal and oral) sex reduces the risk of transmission.

Infected people without symptoms can transmit the infection to others without knowing it. So when someone suspects he may have been exposed to this infection or any other during their sexual practices, they need to visit a doctor to assess the case, ask for the relevant diagnostic tests and prescribe appropriate treatment.

The person who has been diagnosed and treated for gonorrhoea should inform his or her recent sexual partners so that they get diagnostic tests and receive treatment if necessary.

In case of gonorrhoea, you should perform tests to rule out other sexually transmitted infections.
