  1. Gonorrhea has always been a highly contagious bacterial infection of the genitourinary human system; it is currently the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease. The reason it is difficult to treat at this time is because the bacterial is mutating (change characteristics), hence resisting the present form of antibiotics such penicillin.

    Gonorrhea is caused by the bacterial organism Neisseria  gonorrhoeae, or gonococcus. Characteristically, the gonococcus attacks the mucous membranes of the genital, and urinary organs, producing inflammation and pus. In adults the disease is almost  contracted by coitus, ” sexual” intercourse with an infected person. Gonococcal pharyngitis, and proctitis occur in both males, and females as a result of orogenital or anogenital contact with an infected partner.

    These infections frequently presents no symptoms in the early stages; however, if left untreated, gonococcal proctitis can produce rectal abscesses, fistulas, or strictures…

    • Con:

      Occasionally, the gonococci may attack the membranes of the eye, resulting in blindness if untreated; this is not common in adults, the eyes of babies, however, may be infected at birth during passage through the birth canal of the infected mother.

      The condition that results is called ophthalmia neonatorum, and until recently was a major cause of blindness in babies. these days it is routine, and required by law in some states in the United States, for all newborn infants to receive eye drops ” penicillin, or silver nitrate at birth as a protection against  infection.

      The first symptoms of genital gonorrhea should appear within a week after exposure to the gonococcus; nevertheless, it may take as long as three weeks to develop; between ten to forty percent of male; and ten to eighty percent of females with gonorrhea are asymptomatic. In men the inflammation generally causes a painful burning  sensation during urination, and the infected penis discharges a whitish fluid…

    • Continue:

      if the condition remains untreated, the discharge increases, and continues for two or three months. As the infection spreads to other membranes, complications such as inflammation of the prostate, and the testes may result, and cause sterility.

      A woman infected with gonorrhea may feel no  pain, or notice any early symptoms. However, she may experience pain in her lower abdomen, with or without a burning sensation during urination, or any whitish discharge from her vagina. If the infection is allowed to reach other organs of her reproductive system, the ovaries, and the uterine tubes may become inflamed hence, sterility may be the result

      If uncontrolled, the gonococcal infection will spread to contiguous organs, organs, or it will become blood borne, so that sites of infection may occur in multiple, and varied locations, such as the valves of the heart, meninges, joints, peritoneum, and skin.

      I will not talk about diagnosis and treatment; not because I do not know…

        I disagree! If only society practices the commandments of the living God all of these sexually transmitted diseases and chaos that is happening would never even been born! If a married couple remained faithful, and sex was used as tool which God designed it to be, there would be no sexually transmitted disease.
        What is right in the sight of the world is an abomination to God! Instead of abstinence and spiritual growth in education, the world introduces condoms. The world asks us to borrow money and we end up in a financial crisis, the world speaks of preserving the environment but still global warming increases.
        When will we realize that these world decisions are myths! When will we humble ourselves before God and seek His face? A man to a woman and that is that! Jesus came to clarify and asked the father to send the Holy Spirit to show us all things. Why don’t we just ask Him. He knows all things….. some say “I believe in God” but which God? Who is the Lord of your life?

      Masturbation may appear to be safer from a disease standpoint but it is still an abomination to God. It is a window for lust and perversion to possess you. Be careful! You still have to imagine or look at a woman no matter how you think of it. I am speaking from experience but i was delivered from that too! Don’t you feel the urge and then forced to do it even when you never thought of it? The battlefield is in the mind and it can only be fought with the Holy Spirit present.
      Brother, God fixed broken things and makes them new! Unbelievably new! When i was attacked a few months after the Holy Spirit came to in-dwell, every time these thoughts came i would pray and sing in my mind. It worked for me. The bible says resist the devil and he will flee from you. Even if he comes back, do the same.
      When you are a christian, the Holy Spirit fights your battles for you. Ask Him to come into your life but be serious because it is a life of commitment!
      He is real!
      May His name be praised!
