The Burnerhea

 Some people may know this but Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) Gonorrhea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhea a bacterium that can grow and multiply easily in the warm moist areas of the reproductive tract, including the cervix and in the urethra. And with men the bacterium can also grow in the mouth, throat, eyes, and anus and hurts really bad.

Here are some of the symptoms of gonorrhea:  Men with gonorrhea may have no symptoms at all but some men have symptoms and notice right away. Symptoms include a burning sensation in your penis when urinating, or a white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis. Sometimes men with gonorrhea get painful or swollen testicles. Women, the symptoms of gonorrhea are mild but for most women who are infected they have no symptoms. When a woman has symptoms, they can be mistaken for a bladder or vaginal infection. Symptoms and signs in women include a painful or burning when urinating, or vaginal bleeding between periods.

 Gonorrhea causes no long-term problems thank god if it is treated early; in the course of the infection before any complications develop that’s why you should get checked all the time. If not treated gononorrhea can lead to serious complications. In women it could be the pelvic inflammatory disease, the risk of infertility increases each time. It also causes everyday pelvic pain and an ectopic pregnancy. And In men it causes an inflammation and infection of the epididymis, tightly coiled tube that lies behind each testicle and collects sperm.

 Treating gonorrhea with antibiotics is effective and safe during pregnancy and helps prevent long term complications and should be taken way before having the newborn or your baby will have what you have. Babies delivered vaginally and can acquire gonorrhea from secretions in the vaginal tract so women should probably get a sea section if having a kid so the newborn stays healthy. Signs of gonorrheal infection generally appear several days after delivery and include skin infections, respiratory infection, an infection of the urethra or vagina. Antibiotic eye ointments given right after birth prevent transmission of the infection to the eyes; gonorrhea can cause blindness in newborns. Arthritis in the joints, and an infection of the covering of the brain, can occur if the disease spreads a life threatening disease.

Antibiotics can successfully cure gonorrhea in adolescents and adults. But However drug resistant strains of gonorrhea are increasing in many areas of the world, and successful treatment of gonorrhea is becoming more difficult. U haft to not it is important to take all of the medication prescribed to cure gonorrhea.  Although medication will stop the infection, it will not repair any permanent damage done by the disease.

The best way to avoid getting any kind of STDs is to abstain from sexual intercourse that would be hard for some of u but if u can’t wait go to a doctor the both of u and get checked and if your both clear then go get it on but if one of u is positive then you better run because you don’t want any type of disease they have. Sex partners must avoid sex until they have completed their treatment for gonorrhea and until they and their sex partners no longer have symptoms. Latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly, can reduce the risk of transmission of gonorrhea also.

The Horrible Hiv

I dont wanna have this

The Clap is NOT the Thing on TV

Chlamydia is the most common STI in USA. Women over 25 that are sexually active need testing every year. It is easily cured, but left untreated will cause complications having children. The clap can be transferred through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Chlamydia infects the cervix and the Urethra, but can also be known as the “silent” disease because most victims do not show symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they show up from 1 to 3 weeks later after contracting the infection. Symptoms in women and men include discharge. If the Clap is not treated, and is in the uterus or the fallopian tubes, it could cause Pelvic inflammatory disease.  About 10 to 15 percent of untreated women contract this if untreated. PID can also be contracted with no symptoms. To easily cure The Clap, you can just take antibiotics. A single dose of azithromycin or a week of doxycycline is common treatment methods. The Clap               CAN be prevented! Easiest method is to stay abstinent, but if you can’t control your hormones, then Latex condoms used correctly can greatly reduce the risk of contraction of the disease.

NASTY HIV

HIV is an infection that can be caused by sharing needles, blood transfers, and secretions coming in contact with tissues, or transmission from infection to newborn during pregnancy. This infection can be spread through vaginal, oral, or anal sex.

            Symptoms can take up to 10 or 20 years before you can even notice. Normally it takes HIV one year to turn into AIDS, but some people have stronger immune systems. Physical symptoms include fever, muscle aching muscles and joints, sore throat, and swollen glands in the throat.

            It can take years before these symptoms occur, because not all HIV-infected people experience these symptoms, and doctors are still trying to figure out why.

            If this disease is not treated, then you can live years with it until it finally turns into an STD called AIDS which has no cure and targets your white blood cells and kills them, that’s why some people have a low white blood cell count, when you have HIV you are more likely to have a high white blood cell count, because your white blood cells are trying to fight off the virus from damaging your body any worse than it already is.

            If someone was to have a baby with this infecton it is possible that the baby will be born with it. The risk of HIOV transmission to the newborn is 25%-35%. The fetus can get EFV, a fetal toxicity.

            The only treatment you can get is for HIV so that it slows down and not turn into AIDS but it never goes away you will have to live with it forever.

            Abstinence is the best prevention.

           

           

Quiet Chlamydia

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease caused by bacteria, which means it can be cured with antibiotics. Chlamydia is usually passed from one person during vaginal, oral or anal sex or skin to skin contact. The diagnosis of chlamydia involves a sampling of the urethral discharge in males or cervical secretions in females. Chlamydia can live in the cervix, urethra, rectum, and sometimes even throat or eyes. In men, symptoms you may encounter are: burning sensation during urination, a white discharge from the penis or rectum, testicular tenderness or pain, and rectal discharge or pain. In women the most common symptoms are: burning sensation during urination, lower abdominal pain, rectal pain or discharge, liver inflammation, and vaginal discharge. Chlamydia is known as the “silent disease” because symptoms are usually mild or absent and can appear one to three weeks after you've come into contact with the disease and you may not notice until the infection gets worse. If chlamydia is left untreated, it may spread to other parts of the body causing long-term damage, and serious health problems, and in women chlamydia may even lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and may even block the fallopian tubes. If a woman is infected with chlamydia while she’s pregnant, the infection may cause the infant to develop chlamydia-related conjunctivitis which is an eye infection or pneumonia. The treatment for chlamydia is antibiotics such as, azithromycin, or erythromycin and you must complete the entire dose, or the infection may return. To avoid reinfection, any sexual partners should be treated too.  The best way to prevent chlamydia is sexual abstinence, but you can also prevent it by using condoms correctly and getting tested regularly.

Chlamydia

Chlamydia is a disease caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. It is commonly sexually transmitted. Symptoms of Chlamydia in men are small amounts of clear or cloudy discharge from tip of penis, painful urinations, burning or itching around opening of penis, and pain or swelling of the testicles. For women, the symptoms are abnormal vaginal discharge that may have an odor, bleeding between periods, painful periods, abdominal pain with fever, pain when having sex, itching or burning in or around the vagina, and pain when urinating. If Chlamydia does not get treated for women, it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease which can lead to damage of the fallopian tubes or even cause infertility. It could also cause premature births, and the infection can be passed from mother to child during birth, causing an eye infection, blindness, or pneumonia in the newborn. For men, Chlamydia can cause a condition called nongonococcal urethritis which is an infection of the urethra, Or epidiymitis, an infection of the epididymis, or proctitis, and inflammation of the rectum. If you have chlamydia, your doctor will prescribe oral antibiotics, usually azithromycin or doxycycline. Your doctor will also recommend your partner to be treated as well to prevent reinfection and futher. After taking antibiotics, people should be re-tested to be sure the infection is cured. To prevent chlamydia, all sexually active women up through age 25 should be screened yearly for chlamydia, or if your with a new sexual partner or partners, you should also be screened. Proper use of condoms during sex usually prevents infection also.

hpv is very bad.
Genital human papillomavirus (also called HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). There are more than 40 HPV types that can infect the genital areas of males and females. These HPV types can also infect the mouth and throat. Most people who become infected with HPV do not even know they have it.
Rarely, warts in the throat happen. there are genital warts. HPV is passed on through genital contact, most often during vaginal and anal sex. There is no treatment for the virus itself. it could do alot of harm to your baby.
