Passed from partner to partner
Incubation period varies
In men, symptoms occur between 2-14 days after infection. Men normally develop a thick yellowish discharge from the penis and experience pain and problems urinating.
For women, it takes a little longer, between 7 and 21 days. Although some women have a cloudy vaginal discharge and feel a hot, burning sensation on urination, more than 50 percent of infected women have no symptoms at all in the early stages. As the disease progresses, an infected woman may go on to experience abnormal menstrual bleeding, rectal itching, and acute inflammation in the pelvic area. At this stage, a woman is usually diagnosed as suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), caused by the gonococcal bacteria.
Health Related Problems
Gonorrhea that is not properly treated can spread to other parts of the body. In men, it can cause an inflamed prostate or inflammation of the testes, and may affect fertility. A woman who develops PID can suffer damage to the ovaries and/or fallopian tubes, and may result in infertility.
The bacteria can also cause gonococcal arthritis, which causes pain and swelling of the joints around the body. This health condition can be misdiagnosed by your doctor as arthritis.
Gonorrhea contracted through oral sex can cause gonococcal pharyngitis, or inflammation of the throat which may cause awfully sore throat. If the infection affects the eyes, it is called gonococcal conjunctivitis, and it can lead to scarring and sometimes blindness. Anal sex with an infected partner can cause gonococcal proctitis, resulting in inflammation of the rectum and anus. This form of the disease causes symptoms, such as pain and discharge from the anus.
A woman who is infected whether she knows it or not can transmit the disease to her baby during childbirth. During passage through the birth canal, an infant may contract gonococcal ophthalmia, a severe inflammation that can affect one or both eyes. Neisseria gonorrhoeae organisms in the bloodstream can cause blood poisoning, with symptoms that include fever and exhaustion. If the bacteria reaches the brain or heart, then the infection can cause death.
Mineral Supplementation is Vital
If a laboratory culture confirms the diagnosis of gonorrhea, then quick and effective mineral supplementation is important.
Magnesium, manganese, selenium, potassium and zinc all are helpful in the treatment and prevention of gonorrhea as well as promoting good health. Zinc for instance supports the body’s immune system, and also helps to prevent urinary tract infections.
REGULARLY drink 20 drops of CMD in a glass of water 3x a day to heal people with gonorrhea and its health related problems. Other changes to make:
- DRINK 6-8 glasses of water a day
- AVOID all alcohol, caffeine, soft drinks
- EAT high fiber diet
- REDUCE sugar, meat, saturated fats and fried foods
- PRAY ... prayer helps with healing.
To your good health!
