GONORRHEA: SYMPTOMS AND REMEDIES

In men, gonorrhea causes pain on urination and copious quantities of a yellow penile discharge. Homosexuals experience similar pain and discharge in association with defecation. Untreated gonorrhea resolves; but it can leave scarring of the urethra and chronic infection of the prostate.

Women receive the greater burden of infection from any attack of gonorrhea. The Gonococcus takes up residence in the cervix, move up the fallopian tubes and onwards into peritoneum. Infection found there causes infertility, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease and occasionally Peritonitis.

Gonorrhea is becoming increasingly resistant to many families of antibiotics. Swabs of the urethra and cervix go to the laboratory as a matter of course. Appropriate antibiotics cannot be selected in any other way. Laboratories routinely notify state health departments of any positive results.

Home Remedies

Gonorrhea is transmitted by unprotected sexual intercourse. Use condoms. Avoid unprotected intercourse with casual partners, with multiple partners or with a person who has had multiple sexual partners, sex interstate or overseas with a partner of unknown sexual history.
