The disease, sexually transmitted

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease, sexually transmitted. It called it gonococcus, which affects the genito-urinary organs, conjunctiva, joints. Very often, gonorrhea proceeds of any symptoms, which causes transmission of the disease to other people.

When sexual contact with a sick person get sick more than half of the partners - it all depends on the immune system. The incubation period of gonorrhea (time from infection to the first symptoms of the disease) lasts from one day to 2-3 weeks, usually 3-5 days.

Very rarely gonorrhea can be transmitted through personal care items (towel, washcloth, and so on) - so often infected children. Adults should always be aware of this and know that gonorrhea can maintain its viability up to 24 hours.

After birth, all children certainly instilled into the eyes Albucidum - is prevention of gonorrhea eye, which can lead to total blindness.

Whether it is necessary to clarify the diagnosis

The diagnosis of gonorrhea should be confirmed laboratory, as this will depend on the effectiveness of the treatment. The studies of smears from genital mutilation under the microscope, seeding them on a culture medium, antibiotic susceptibility Antibiotics - whether they will help you in the foreseeable future? . In the blood gonokokk detected by PCR (very accurate method to identify DNA gonorrhea).

Results of laboratory tests are also a criterion of successful treatment. To do this, after 7-10 days after the treatment is carried out sowing secretions and smears under a microscope to detect gonorrhea.

How does gonorrhea in women

Very often in women, gonorrhea is asymptomatic and it can then adversely affect her health. Gonorrhea can be shown at once in the form of pain during urination, copious purulent discharge. Usually affects the lower part of the urogenital system (vulva, urethra, vagina). But there are cases of gonorrhea and rising with the defeat of the uterus and its appendages.

Manifestations of men

In men, gonorrhea can infect the mucous membrane of the urethra, mouth (oral-genital contact output) or the rectum (the result of homosexual contact).

In most cases, gonorrhea in men manifested as urethritis Urethritis - a very male disease   (inflammation of the urethra) cutting pain when urinating, frequent urination urgency, a large number of purulent secretions. Over time (about a week), all this takes place, the disease becomes chronic with periodic exacerbations and attenuation process, but often asymptomatic urethritis such, serves as a source of infection to others and cause many complications.

Complications

In women, gonorrhea is a chronic inflammatory diseases of the genital organs, leading to infertility.

Men can also develop loss of any part of the genitourinary system (lesion of the prostate, epididymis, and so on). In acute prostatitis Acute prostatitis - the culprit bacteria   there throbbing pain in the perineum, accompanied by general disorders (fever, chills, and so on). If prostatitis becomes chronic worrying aching in the lower abdomen and perineum. Chronic prostatitis can cause impotence Impotence - a female perspective on the problem .

If all of a sudden, pain, swelling and redness in the groin and in the testis, combined with high temperatures, it speaks of the origin of such complications as gonorrheal epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis), which can result in scar formation in the ducts of the epididymis and infertility.

Gonorrhea can also be complicated by gonococcal arthritis mainly affects the knee joints.

What causes genital warts

At the present time it is becoming increasingly important various violations of the body's defenses (immune system). There are also infections that afflict a person often at lower immunity Immunity - types and characteristics in children in adults , Especially viral infections, such as chronic hepatitis Hepatitis - the scourge of our time , Genital herpes, human papilloma virus, and so on.

Genital warts are caused by human papilloma virus. Currently, there are more than 60 types of human papilloma virus, each of them is different lesions of the skin and mucous membranes: papillomavirus and genital warts on mucous, warts Warts - germ of cancer?   to the skin and so on. Human papilloma virus found in the blood of most people, but normally it does not cause disease. Ill only in reducing the body's defenses.

Human Papilloma Virus is most commonly transmitted through sexual contact, but can also be transmitted and household through a towel, washcloth, bath brooms Sauna and health: the benefits and harms of bath procedures   and so on. Sometimes a child becomes infected with the human papilloma virus as a child and sick with the weakening of the body's defenses. Thus the exciter is introduced into the skin or mucous membranes and alters the operation of the epithelial cells, which is the cause of benign tumors. The modified cell begins to grow rapidly, then it is repeatedly divided, with the result that after a while there is characteristic of the disease proliferation.

Symptoms of genital warts

On the mucous membranes of the genitals, anus, mouth, throat HPV can cause genital warts - growths the size of 2-6 mm. Top of genital warts wider base, hilly, sitting on a thin stalk. They grow very quickly, in just a few hours, the whole forming a "thicket" growths.

Complications

Genital warts, located on the cervix in women and penis in men are precancerous diseases. In addition, they contribute to the further reduction of immunity, with the result that people frequent colds, can join a variety of chronic difficult to treat infections.

In addition, genital warts tend to sprawl - sometimes they are growing at a considerable portion of the surface of the body, such as around the anus, resembling stalactites in the cave. They are constantly injured, some of them no longer, and bleeding in small wounds implemented infection, abscess warts. This whole process is usually very painful.

Diagnostics

Genital warts have a very distinctive look, however, to confirm the diagnosis is carried out special laboratory blood analysis: by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is detected in the blood of human papillomavirus DNA.

Be sure to also conducted an immunogram (a blood test to determine the possible violation of an immunity), tests for the presence of atypical cells (a sign of the degeneration of genital warts in cancer), as well as the planting of microflora in the location of genital warts in the presence of another infection.
