Gonorrhoea, or Neisseria Gonorrhoea, or “clap”, is a bacterial infection that is generally widespread and highly communicable. Gonorrhoea grows mainly in the areas of the reproductive tract, that is, in the vagina, fallopian tubes, cervix uterus and fallopian tubes in women, and in the urethra for both men and women, and penis for men. The disease can also infect the mouth, throat, eyes, and anus.

Gonorrhoea is a bacterial infection caused by Neisseria Gonorrhoea. As in most STDs, the primary means of transmission is through unprotected sexual contact with an infected partner. The probability of transmission of the disease becomes higher when the sexual contact happens right before or after the menstruation period of the woman.

However the bacteria may not only be transferred through sexual contact. There are other ways by which a healthy person can contract the disease without having sex.

As the Neisseria Gonorrhoea bacteria can survive outside their human host for a few minutes, a healthy person can get infected by being in contact with a contaminated item such as underwear, towels, and toilet seats, among others. Even the mere touching of an infected part of the body is just as risky as having sex with an infected person.

If you are a fan of erotic games, you must always keep in mind that sexual toys can be infected as well, and they can easily transmit the virus. Introducing contaminated items of the kind into the vagina or into the anus, or even a contaminated finger can lead to the infection of a healthy individual.

The mother can also pass on the disease to the baby during delivery as the baby passes through the birth canal. These are some of the other ways the disease can be passed on.

Gonorrhoea is a very hazardous disease which can have devastating irreversible effects if not diagnosed and treated early. It can cause infertility for both men and women. The disease can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and affect the other organs.

It would not be easy to deal with a disease like gonorrhoea because it does not present any apparent symptom. So if you have even the littlest doubt in your mind regarding your physical state based on what you have been exposed to in the recent past, then you should not waste time in consulting a medical professional such as a gynaecologist, a urologist, or even a family doctor.

As an old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. So the most ideal situation is for you not to catch the infection. Using condoms consistently and correctly is an excellent precautionary measure. You should also be extra careful when using other people’s restroom or public restrooms.
