Article Excerpts about Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea, NIAID Fact Sheet: NIAID (Excerpt)
Gonorrhea is a curable sexually
transmitted disease (STD) caused by a bacterium called Neisseria
gonorrhoeae. These bacteria can infect the genital tract, the
mouth, and the rectum. In women, the opening (cervix) to the womb
(uterus) from the birth canal is the first place of infection. The
disease however can spread into the womb and fallopian tubes,
resulting in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID affects more
than 1 million women in this country every year and can cause
infertility in as many as 10 percent of infected women and tubal
(ectopic) pregnancy. (Source: excerpt from Gonorrhea, NIAID Fact Sheet: NIAID)
Gonorrhea: NWHIC (Excerpt)
Gonorrhea is caused by the gonococcus, a bacterium that grows and
multiplies quickly in moist, warm areas of the body such as the cervix,
urethra, mouth, or rectum. In women, the cervix is the most common site of
infection. However, the disease can spread to the uterus (womb) and
fallopian tubes, resulting in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID); this can
cause infertility and ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Gonorrhea is most
commonly spread during genital contact, but it can also be passed from the
genitals of one partner to the throat of the other during oral sex
(pharyngeal gonorrhea). Gonorrhea of the rectum can occur in people who
practice anal intercourse and may also occur in women due to spread of the
infection from the vaginal area. (Source: excerpt from Gonorrhea: NWHIC)
