Who have higher risks for developing Genorrhea?

High-risk factors for gonorrhea include:

• having a new sex partner
• having been previously diagnosed with gonorrhea or other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
• having multiple sex partners
• Many infections in women do not produce symptoms until problems occur.
• being between the ages of 15-24

What are the symptoms?

Symptoms that some women may experience include:

1. discharge of yellow mucus and pus from the vagina
2. abnormal menstrual bleeding
3. painful urination
4. Rectal pain and swelling may occur if the infection spreads to that area.

Because so many women don’t show symptoms, infections often go untreated.

What are the concerns of pregnant women with genorrhea?

pregnant women with gonorrhea can transmit the infection to their babies during vaginal delivery.
Symptoms in infected infants usually appear two to five days after delivery.
Infected infants may develop scalp infections, upper respiratory infections, urethritis, or vaginitis. They can also develop a serious eye infection.
The infection could also enter an infant's blood, causing generalized illness causing arthritis or inflammation of the tissues in the brain or spinal cord.
The best way of preventing infection in infants less than 28 days old is to screen and treat the mother before labor.

What are the treatments?

Ceftriaxone and spectinomycin are safe and effective for the treatment of gonorrhea in pregnancy.
Ceftriaxone 250 mg IM as a single dose for the treatment of uncomplicated cervical/urethral and rectal gonorrhea due to .Neisseria gonorrhoeae
