¿Qué es Gonorrhea?

Gonorrhea has been documented since ancient times, with historical records describing symptoms consistent with the infection. The causative bacterium, *Neisseria gonorrhoeae*, was identified in 1879 by Albert Neisser, paving the way for targeted diagnosis. Before the advent of antibiotics, treatment options were limited, often leading to severe complications.

Síntomas

  • Often asymptomatic, especially in women.
  • In men: painful urination, white/yellow/green penile discharge, testicular pain/swelling.
  • In women: increased vaginal discharge, painful urination, vaginal bleeding between periods, lower abdominal pain.
  • In rectum: itching, soreness, bleeding, discharge.
  • In throat: usually no symptoms.

Transmisión

Gonorrhea is primarily transmitted through unprotected sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex, with an infected partner. It can also be passed from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth, potentially causing eye infections in the newborn. The bacteria cannot survive outside the body for long, so it's not transmitted through casual contact like sharing toilets or hugging.

Período de Contagio: Varies by disease

Prevención

  • Consistent and correct use of condoms during sexual activity.
  • Limiting the number of sexual partners or practicing mutual monogamy.
  • Abstinence from sexual activity.
  • Regular STI testing, especially if sexually active with new or multiple partners.
  • Prompt treatment for infected individuals and their partners.
