Exposing deadly symptoms of fast-rising cases of Gonorrhea

New trends of the gonorrhea scourge

The United Kingdom's NHS officials say after Chlamydia, gonorrhea is the second the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection. Gonorrhea requires any kind of sex (anal, oral, or vaginal) to transmit. Since more than half of infected people lack symptoms at the early phase, sexually active women are advised to practice gonorrhea testing every time.

In England, after STD test, there are 35,000 new cases of gonorrhea recorded in 2014. With the rises of new gonorrhea cases, it is risky for sexually active partners to practice unsafe sex. Some antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea strains are beginning to surface, but the infection is still being treated with antibiotics medications. A case of gonorrhea might reoccur even after successful treatment plans.

Pelvic inflammatory disease in women, prostate gland conditions in men, and infertility are adverse side effects of untreated or undiagnosed gonorrhea. When pregnant women are infected with the bacteria, their infants are the worst hit. Sometimes gonorrhea bacteria that affect newborn leaves them deformed.

Recently, news broke about an English man who contracted gonorrhea from a Southeastern Asian woman. The news on the gonorrhea case was not surprising. However, the infection, in this case, was a new strain of gonorrhea that defiled all known antibiotic treatments. Immediately, the infection was termed the world’s 'worst-ever' case of super-gonorrhea. Medical experts all over the world were worried about the news of 'super-gonorrhea.'
