Though gonorrheabeing a (STD) and alldoesnt come up in conversation too often, it's way more prevalent than you probably think. Its also a superbug, meaning its grown resistant to the usual treatments because the gonorrhea bacteria has mutated to become stronger than ever. In fact, earlier this month you may have seen alarmist headlines (Sex Superbug Could be Worse Than AIDS, said ) about drug-resistant gonorrhea. Thewas quick to respond, quelling fears about the bugs presence in the U.S. Many reports were referring to gonorrhea strain H041, which is very resistant to ceftriaxonethe drug widely recommended for treating gonorrhea. That strain, though, hasnt ever been reported in the U.S., said the CDC.
Gonorrhea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a gram-negative bacterium (which means the cells have a double cell lining). Theestimates that about 62 million people get gonorrhea every year. To get it, you have to have contact with the mouth, penis, vagina, or anus of an infected sexual partner. Once N. gonorrhoeae bacteria have been transmitted, they infect mucosal surfaces in the genitals and throat.
Symptoms of gonorrhea manifest differently in men and women, and also vary in severity (many people, in fact, are asymptomatic). When symptoms do appear, men may see a urethral discharge, or feel pain in their testicles or scrotum. Complications for guys can result in epididymitis, which is pain and inflammation of the epididymis (for those not into genital anatomy and physiology, thats part of the testicle that stores sperm; were getting up close and personal now). In women, gonorrhea may also cause vaginal discharge or bleeding between periods.
Symptoms of untreated gonorrhea arent just uncomfortable and embarrassing, though. There are complications of gonorrhea infections that nobody likes to think about: In women, the STD can spread to the uterus and fallopian tubes, increasing the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy (a dangerous situation in which the embryo implants outside of the uterus). Gonorrhea can be passed from mother to child, and it also increases your risk for HIV. So, in the end, its a pretty serious infection.
