Gonemia

Gonemia is the medical term for the presence of gonococci in the blood. Gonococci are bacteria that cause the disease gonorrhea. They can enter the blood through damaged mucous membranes and cause gonaemia.

Symptoms of gonaemia may include fever, weakness, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. However, in most cases, gonococcal infection is limited to the mucous membranes of the genital organs.

Gonemia can be dangerous because gonococci can spread throughout the body, causing inflammation and damage to various organs. If gonococci reach the heart, they can cause endocarditis, an inflammation of the inner lining of the heart. In case of joint damage, infectious arthritis may develop.

To diagnose gonaemia, bacteriological blood tests are performed. Gonemia is treated with antibiotics.

However, the best protection against gonorrhea and gonaemia is prevention. To do this, it is necessary to observe the rules of personal hygiene, use condoms during sexual intercourse and undergo regular medical examinations.

In conclusion, gonaemia is a serious condition that can lead to serious complications if left unattended. The best prevention is compliance with personal hygiene rules and regular medical examinations. If you suspect you have gonorrhea or gonaemia, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
