Morbidity of untreated Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea unfortunately does not simply go away.
The worst part of acquiring this infection is that the partner also needs treatment. For those who do not get proper treatment, the likelihood of the disease spreading are high.
In males the infection can spread to other parts of the genitalia (testis and epididymitis) and produce sterility.
In females, the infection can cause severe scarring and adhesions of the uterine tubes and this is one major reason why many females are not able to conceive later on in life. The infection can also spread to the liver, joints, brain and the heart.
Sexually transmitted disease can always be prevented through abstinence or safe sex. However, it is always best to have a consultation at the first sign of the disease. It is good that there is an online health care assistance available, a one-stop destination to get professional medical consultation and medication right at the comfort and privacy of your own home
