What are the modes of transmission of gonorrhea? What are the methods for preventing sexually transmitted diseases

Gonorrhea is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases caused by Diplococcus gonorrhoeae. To prevent gonorrhea, one must first understand the mode of transmission of gonorrhea.

1、 The mode of transmission of gonorrhea

1. Transmission through sexual contact: mainly through sexual intercourse or other sexual behavior. Male gonorrhea is almost always caused by sexual contact, while female gonorrhea can also be directly infected through sexual intercourse or through other means.

2. Non sexual contact infection (indirect infection): This kind of infection is rare. It is mainly caused by contacting the patient's secretion containing gonococcus Diplococcus or contaminated appliances, such as towels, foot cloths, foot basins, quilts, and even the toilet seat of the toilet. Especially women (including young women) are vulnerable to infection because of their short urethra and reproductive tract. When a newborn passes through the birth canal of a mother with gonorrhea, the eyes can also cause neonatal gonococcal ophthalmia. Pregnant women with gonorrhea can cause amniotic cavity infections, including fetal infections.

2、 Early treatment and prevention based on the aforementioned modes of transmission

1. Gonorrhea patients should be diagnosed and treated early to prevent chronic phase.

2. Patients in the acute phase should not overwork, remain bedridden, avoid vigorous exercise, strictly prohibit alcohol consumption and stimulating foods, and strictly prohibit sexual activity.

3. Patients with gonorrhea at home should be separated, and attention should be paid to isolation and disinfection. For example, bath towels and bathtubs should be used separately, and contaminated clothing and utensils should be disinfected. Special attention should be paid to protecting the eyes of infants and young children at home.

4. Severe patients with gonococcal septicemia, ophthalmia, arthritis, meningitis, Endocarditis, etc. should be hospitalized immediately.

5. At the same time as treatment, the patient's spouse should go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

In summary, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a typical social disease, and their spread is closely related to the epidemic and social factors. Therefore, it is necessary to consciously resist various improper sexual behaviors, self restraint, and self love. They are neither carriers nor sources of STDs. With this good social trend, the spread of STDs can be fundamentally prevented.

Practical methods for preventing sexually transmitted diseases

Human understanding of sexually transmitted diseases has gone through a long process and has also paid a painful price. In the past 20 years, due to changes in people's lifestyles, the number of sexually transmitted disease patients has skyrocketed, posing an increasing threat to humanity.
