GONORRHEA
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease. Bacteria infect men women and infants. Symptoms of gonorrhea usually appear two days to three weeks after a person had a contact with the infection. The most frequent symptoms are vaginal discharge, painful, burning sensation with urination, lower abdominal pain and fever. Gonorrhea infections are often spread during vaginal, oral or anal sexual contact. Babies can get gonorrhea during birth if the mother has this infection. In many cases it is difficult to detect the symptoms of gonorrhea. The only sure way to know about the infection is to be tested. Diagnosis is made by culturing material from the cervix (in women). The sample is sent to a laboratory for testing. Gonorrhea must be treated. If left untreated gonorrhea can cause permanent damage to the reproductive organs, tubal pregnancy and sterility. Gonorrhea can be cured with antibiotics (usually penicillin, erythromycin or tetracycline).
You can prevent a gonorrhea infection. You should not have sex with anyone. You should have sex with non-infected partner who has sex only with you. The best protection from gonorrhea is using condoms during sexual activity. If you suspect that you have exposed to gonorrhea, see a doctor at once.

TRICHOMONIASIS
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD), that affect both women and men, although symptoms are more common in women.
Trichomoniasis is caused by the single-celled protozoan parasite. The vagina is the most common site of infection in women, and the urethra is the most common site of infection in men. Women can acquire the disease from infected men or women, but men usually contract it only from infected women.
Symptoms usually appear in women within 5 to 28 days of exposure. Signs of infection include yellow-green vaginal discharge with a strong odor, discomfort during urination and intercourse, as well as irritation and itching of the female genital area. Some men have an irritation inside the penis, mild discharge, or slight burning after uritation.
Pregnant women with trichomoniasis have babies who are born early or with low birth weight.
For both men and women a physical examination and laboratory test must be done to diagnose trichomoniasis.
Trichomoniasis can usually be cured by prescription drugs. It is important that both partners should be treated at the same time to eliminate the parasite.
The surest way to avoid infection is to abstain from sexual contacts with different partners. It is desirable to be in relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected.
