Gonorrhea Testing

Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted disease in the United States since more than a decade now.

According to a report published in CNN, and data revealed in a National STD Prevention Conference conducted recently in Washington, in 2017, around 2.3 million cases were reported of Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Syphilis alone.

This means that roughly around 0.76 Million people are alone infected by Gonorrhea according to the statistics.

The numbers keep on increasing every year which directly indicates that there is a large portion of the population unaware of their STD diagnosis.

In order to keep yourself out of the numbers, it is important to know everything about Gonorrhea and Gonorrhea Testing.

Gonorrhea Testing and Facts

Women who are sexually active and come in age group of 15-25 are required to undergo a Gonorrhea or a Panel Test, at least annually in order to save themselves from further complications like cancer, HIV and organ failure.

For better understanding of Gonorrhoea, here are some quick and integral facts about the disease:

    1. Gonorrhea is an infection that appears in the genital tract of the body.
    2. Gonorrhea does not spread through physical touch of any sorts like hugging, kissing, and eating together. However, in case an individual is using the same needles as the person infected from Gonorrhea, then the chances are higher of transmission.
    3. Since 2015, super gonorrhoea is on the rise, which means that this type of Gonorrhea infection is resistant to treatment pursued in case of simple Gonorrhea. Super Gonorrhea has no cure, as yet.
    4. In case Gonorrhea goes undiagnosed and untreated, then it can lead to permanent infertility in men and women both.

Benefits of Gonorrhoea Testing and early detection:

    1. In case Gonorrhea goes undiagnosed and untreated then it can lead to Disseminated Gonococcal Infection (DGI), which means that with an early diagnosis, one can lead a healthy lifestyle.
    2. You can save yourself from further Gonorrhea lead complications like Cancer, Severe skin allergies, Permanent blindness and DGI as mentioned above.
