This chapter presents information on gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is one of the oldest known sexually transmitted diseases. It is very common in North America. The good news is that gonorrhea can be cured completely with antibiotics, but only people who seek medical treatment will be cured. Gonorrhea is caused by a bacterium, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which grows and flourishes in the warm,moist areas of the body,such as the cervix and uterus in women and the urethra, throat, anus or even eyes in women and men. The only way to cure gonorrhea and avoid its dangerous consequences is to take an antibiotic. |
