Gonorrhea?
Expert ReplyCondition analysis:
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that can infect both men and women. It can cause infections in the genitals, rectum, and throat. It is a very common infection, especially among young people ages 15-24 years.
Instructions:
Refrain From Sexual Activities: It is important to stay away from sex when a person is suffering from gonorrhea. The pain in the case of this bacterial infection is most pronounced in the urethra and cervix of men and women respectively. Sometimes there is an inflammation in the areas, which will deteriorate if the patient engages in sexual activities.
Use of condoms is also recommended if one partner is suffering or has suffered from gonorrhea. Monogamy is another way to reduce the frequency of the spread of the gonorrhea bacteria. Sex with only one partner is essential for restoration of the functioning of the skin cells affected by the gonorrhea bacteria.
