Gonorrhea Fresh: The modern face of an old disease
Gonorrhea, also known as gonorrhea, is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the world. This disease is transmitted primarily through sexual contact and is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Gonococcal infection can affect various areas of the body, including the genitals, anus, throat and eyes. In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of cases of gonorrhea, especially in young people.
One of the most concerning trends is the emergence of new strains of gonorrhea that have become resistant to most of the antibiotics previously used to treat the disease. It is these new strains that are called “fresh gonorrhea” or “g. recens”. They pose a serious threat to public health, as they complicate treatment and can lead to complications.
Fresh gonorrhea is highly infectious and is easily transmitted through sexual contact. It may be asymptomatic in most people infected, making it even more dangerous as people are unaware of their status and may not receive timely treatment. Some patients may experience symptoms such as yellowish or greenish purulent discharge from the genitals, pain and burning when urinating, and pain in the lower abdomen.
Treatment of fresh gonorrhea is becoming increasingly difficult due to the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Penicillin and cephalosporins were previously widely used to treat gonorrhea, but these drugs are increasingly becoming ineffective against new strains of gonococcus. Currently, it is recommended to use a combination of several antibiotics to increase the effectiveness of treatment.
Prevention and prevention play an important role in the fight against fresh gonorrhea. Using condoms every time you have sex helps reduce the risk of transmission. Regular physical examinations and infection screenings convey important health information and help identify infections in their early stages.
Fresh gonorrhea remains a significant public health problem. Educational efforts need to be strengthened to raise awareness of the risks, symptoms and methods of preventing this infection. In addition, it is necessary to continue research and development of new antibiotics that can effectively combat fresh gonorrhea and overcome its resistance to existing drugs.
In conclusion, fresh gonorrhea poses a serious threat to public health, especially given the emergence of new antibiotic-resistant strains. Measures must be taken to prevent and control this infection, including the use of condoms, regular medical examinations and the development of new antibiotics. Only through the joint efforts of society, the medical community and scientific researchers will we be able to meet the challenge posed by fresh gonorrhea.
