Penyakit ini disebabkan oleh Neisseria Gonorrhoeae
Penisilin Boleh menyembuh gonorea

Penyakit gonorea ialah salah satu penyakit kelamin (sexually transmitted disease- STD). Kira-kira 62 juta kes dikesan setiap tahun di seluruh dunia. Penyakit ini disebabkan oleh sejenis organisma yang dikenali Neisseria Gonorrhoeae.

## [Sunting] Gejala Penyakit

Organ wanita yang boleh dijangkiti gonorea ialah seperti saluran kencing, serviks, rahim, tiub fallopia, kelenjar kemaluan seperti kelenjar Bartholin (yang terdapat di bibir kemaluan), kelenjar Skene's (yang terdapat di bahagian bawah lubang saluran kencing). Bagi lelaki pula, saluran kencing, epididimis (sebahagian daripada testis) dan kelenjar Cowper's mungkin dijangkiti. Selain membabitkan permukaan mukosa yang wujud pada saluran kemaluan dan organ reproduktif, jangkitan juga boleh membabitkan permukaan mukosa yang ada pada dubur, rektum, mulut, tekak dan mata.

Penyakit gonorea ini dijangkiti melalui hubungan kelamin dan risiko jangkitan daripada satu hubungan kelamin dengan seorang yang dijangkiti gonorea ialah antara 30 dan 70 peratus. Bayi juga boleh dijangkiti apabila dilahirkan oleh seorang ibu yang berpenyakit gonorea. Kira-kira 30 peratus daripada bayi ini akan mendapat permasalahan sakit mata (bertahi mata) pada minggu pertama selepas dilahirkan.

## [Sunting] Simptom bagi lelaki

Keluar cairan (discharge) daripada saluran kencing lelaki. Lazimnya keadaan ini berlaku 3 hingga 10 hari selepas bersetubuh dengan wanita yang berpenyakit gonorea. Kadangkala pesakit berasa kesakitan sewaktu membuang air kecil. Sebahagian kecil (15 peratus) daripada lelaki tidak mempunyai sebarang tanda jangkitan. Perlu diingatkan bahawa lelaki dan wanita berpenyakit gonorea yang belum dirawat boleh merebakkan penyakit ini kepada wanita yang disetubuhi termasuklah isterinya sendiri.

## [Sunting] Simptom bagi wanita

Tidak ada sebarang tanda yang khusus menandakan penyakit gonorea ini. Cairan yang keluar daripada faraj perlu dipastikan mengandungi organisma N gonorrhoeae sebelum membuat diagnosa dan memberikan rawatannya.

Sejarah hubungan kelamin yang dilakukan oleh seseorang yang dijangkiti penyakit gonorea perlu dijejaki supaya penyakit dapat dirawat dan dihalang daripada merebak. Apa yang lebih penting ialah untuk mengamalkan gaya hidup sihat, iaitu tidak mengadakan hubungan seks secara haram dan rambang.

## [Sunting] Komplikasi

Komplikasi daripada penyakit gonorea ini berlaku seperti berikut apabila penyakit tidak dirawat:

1. Jangkitan dan radang kelenjar atau organ yang dijangkiti organisma ini
   Bagi lelaki: Bengkak zakar, kelenjar di bawah lubang saluran kencing dan bernanah.
   Bagi wanita: nanah pada kelenjar Bartholin, tiub fallopia, ovari, bengkak atau jangkitan hati.
   Keadaan ini boleh menyebabkan saluran tiub fallopia tersumbat. Nanah dalam saluran tiub atau ovari (tubo-ovarian abscess) memerlukan pembedahan untuk mengeluarkannya.
2. Apabila penyakit gonorea ini merebak ke seluruh tubuh dan bukan hanya terhad pada bahagian kemaluan atau organ reproduktif, ia boleh menyebabkan kesakitan pada sendi, jangkitan pada kulit (dermatitis), jangkitan pada selaput jantung ataupun jangkitan pada selaput otak.

## [Sunting] Kawalan dan Perawatan

Ada ubat-ubatan yang boleh diberikan untuk merawat gonorea secara berkesan. Malangnya ada juga masalah ketahanan antibiotik (antibiotic resistance) oleh organisma ini. Dalam keadaan begini, ubat antibiotik yang lazim diberikan sudah tidak dapat memberi sebarang kesan untuk membunuhnya. Penggunaan antibiotik yang lebih kuat diperlukan dalam kes begini. Lazimnya, seseorang yang berpenyakit gonorea ini juga boleh dijangkiti oleh penyakit kelamin yang lain seperti sifilis pada masa sama. Bagi wanita dan lelaki yang menghidap jangkitan gonorea, mudah juga dijangkiti HIV.

Antibiotik yang boleh merawat gonorea termasuk:

- ubat cucuk
  Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) 125 to 250 mg by intramuscular injection
  Spectinomycin 2 g by intramuscular injection
  Cefotaxime 500 mg by intramuscular injection
  Cefoxitin 2 g by intramuscular injection, plus probenecid 1 g

- ubat makan
  Cefixime 400 mg
  Cefpodoxime (Vantin) 400 mg
  Ciprofloxacin 500 mg
  Ofloxacin 400 mg
  Levofloxacin 250 mg
  Azithromycin 2 g
  Amoxycillin 2 g plus probenecid 1 g
  Ampicillin 2 to 3 g plus probenecid 1 g

## [Sunting] Pandangan Agama

Langkah dianjurkan oleh Islam ialah langkah mencegah kerana ia jauh lebih baik daripada usaha memperbaiki atau mengatasi masalah yang timbul akibat gejala sosial ini. Marilah kita renungkan dan ambil pengajaran daripada hadis dikemukakan.

Hadis diriwayatkan oleh Ibnu Majah yang bermaksud:

Sabda Rasullulah saw: "Hai golongan Muhajirin! Ada lima perkara jika kamu ditimpa atau ia berlaku di lingkungan kamu - saya berlindung kepada Allah apabila hal itu wujud di antara kamu. Apabila pada satu kaum bercabul perzinaan sampai mereka melakukannya secara terang- terangan, maka mereka akan diserang oleh penyakit yang belum pernah dialami nenek moyang mereka."

(Catatan penulis: Contoh penyakit yang ada akibat gejala ini ialah wabak sifilis ketika "medieval ages" dan sekarang pula timbul penyakit HIV/ AIDS yang masih tidak mempunyai ubat pencegah atau rawatan untuk pulih.)

"Apabila mereka mengurangi timbangan dan takaran, mereka akan dihukum dengan kepapaan dan kemiskinan serta kezaliman daripada pihak berkuasa.

"Setiap mereka enggan membayar zakat harta mereka, mereka akan terhalang beroleh hujan dari langit dan jika tidaklah kerana haiwan ternak, tidaklah mereka akan pernah diberi hujan.

"Sekiranya setiap mereka melanggar janji Allah dan janji Rasul-Nya, mereka akan dijajah oleh musuh daripada bangsa lain yang akan merampas sebahagian kekayaan mereka dan selama pemimpin mereka tidak menjalankan hukum yang ada dalam Kitabullah, maka saling sengketa akan berkobar di antara mereka."

Gonorrhea (gonorrhoea in British English)
is among the most common sexually-transmitted diseases in the world and is caused by Gram-negative bacterium Neisseria gonorrheae. The term comes from Greek γονόρροια (gonórrhoia), literally "flow of seed"; in ancient times it was thought that the pus discharge associated with the disease contained semen.

Infection with gonorrhea increases the risk of passing on or becoming infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS). This is likely due to weakening of the mucosal surface secondary to the gonorrhea infection. Gonorrhea might also increase the amount of HIV present in semen and other genital secretions. Note, however, that this effect is by no means limited to gonorrhea and there is increased risk of HIV transmission with co-infection of most sexually-transmitted infections.

The first place this bacterium infects is usually the columnar epithelium of the urethra and endocervix. Non-genital sites in which it thrives are in the rectum, the oropharynx and the conjunctivae of the eyes. The vulva and vagina in women are usually spared because they are lined by stratified epithelial cells — in women the cervix is the usual first site of infection.

Gonorrhea spreads during sexual intercourse, whereby the infective partner does not need to be human.[1] Infected women also can pass gonorrhea to their newborn infants during delivery, causing eye infections (conjunctivitis) in their babies (which if left untreated, can cause blindness). Gonorrhea among females can also be transmitted from one individual to another via contact to surfaces that may still be damp from prior contact.

## [Sunting] Epidemiology

In 2000, 358,995 cases of gonorrhea were reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC). In the United States, approximately 75 percent of all reported cases of gonorrhea are found in younger persons aged 15 to 29 years. The highest rates of infection are usually found in 15- to 19-year old women and 20- to 24-year-old men. Health economists estimate that the annual cost of gonorrhea and its complications is close to $1.1 billion. The disease can spread into the uterus and Fallopian tubes, resulting in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID affects more than 1 million women in the United States (US) every year and can cause infertility in as many as 10 percent of infected women.

### [Sunting] Vertical transmission

Pregnant mothers infected with gonorrhea, can transmit the disease to their babies during childbirth. Gonococcal conjunctivitis is a major preventable cause of blindness in newborns, so if there is a known risk of transmitting gonorrhea, prophylactic silver nitrate or other medications may be applied to the baby's eyes immediately after birth. Because of the risks of vertical transmission, doctors recommend that pregnant women have at least one test for gonorrhea during pregnancy.

## [Sunting] Symptoms of gonorrhea

The incubation period varies from 2 to 14 days with most symptoms occurring between days 2 and 5 after being infected from an infected partner. A small number of people may be asymptomatic for up to a year.

### [Sunting] Women

Between 30-60% of women with gonorrhea are asymptomatic or have subclinical disease.[2] The woman may complain of vaginal discharge, difficulty urinating (dysuria), off-cycle menstrual bleeding, or bleeding after sexual intercourse. The cervix may appear anywhere from normal to the extreme of marked cervical inflammation (cervicitis) with pus. Infection of the urethra (urethritis) causes little dysuria or pus. The combination of urethritis and cervicitis on examination strongly supports a gonorrhea diagnosis, as both sites are infected in most gonorrhea patients.

More advanced symptoms, which may indicate development of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), include cramps and pain, bleeding between menstrual periods, vomiting, or fever.

### [Sunting] Men

It is not unusual for men to have asymptomatic gonorrhea. Men may complain of pain on urinating and thick, copious, urethral pus discharge (also known as gleet) is the most common presentation. Examination may show a reddened external urethral meatus. Ascending infection may involve the epididymis, testicles or prostate gland causing symptoms such as scrotal pain or swelling.

The fact sheet from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states, "Many men with gonorrhea may have no symptoms at all, some men have some signs or symptoms that appear two to five days after infection; symptoms can take as long as 30 days to appear. Symptoms and signs include a burning sensation when urinating, or a white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis. Sometimes men with gonorrhea get painful or swollen testicles."

### [Sunting] Rectal gonorrhea

Rectal gonorrhea (gonococcal proctitis) may affect both men and women and is often asymptomatic. It may present with anal discharge, pain on defecating and rectal bleeding. Proctoscopy may show an inflamed mucous membrane with little mucus. Rectal infection also may cause no symptoms. It is transmitted by penetrative anal sex and is diagnosed on rectal swab. It cannot be treated with penicillin because rectal commensal bacteria in the rectum produce β-lactamase that protects the gonococcus from penicillin.

### [Sunting] Gonococcal pharyngitis

Infections of the throat are usually asymptomatic, but in some cases may cause a sore throat. This condition is diagnosed by a throat culture, utilizing a cotton swab; most cases of gonoccal pharyngitis are caused by oral sex with a partner infected with gonorrhea.

## [Sunting] Complications

In men, inflammation of the epididymis (epididymitis), prostate gland (prostatitis) and urethral structure (urethritis) can result from untreated gonorrhea.

In women, untreated gonorrhea can result in cyst and abscess formation in one or more of the greater vestibular glands (bartholinitis), causing trouble walking; PID; and Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome.

The most common result of untreated gonorrhea is PID, a serious infection of the female reproductive tract. PID causes scarring of the fallopian tubes which leads to increased risks of causing an ectopic pregnancy as a fertilized egg may not be able to pass through the narrowed, scarred fallopian tube. Ectopic pregnancies are serious conditions which are potentially life-threatening to the mother.

In both sexes, disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) can occur, leading to multiple distant sites of infection which can include the brain, heart and joints.

When joints become involved, gonococcal arthritis can develop. Gonococcal arthritis occurs after primary infection of the genitalia, anus, or throat. This occurs in about 1% of patients who are infected with gonorrhea and is more common in women than men. Typical symptoms include a 5-7 day history of fever, shaking, chills, multiple skin lesions, fleeting migratory polyarthralgias and tenosynovitis in fingers, wrists, toes or ankles. This should be evaluated promptly with a culture of the synovial fluid, blood, cervix, urethra, rectum, skin lesion fluid, or pharynx. The underlying gonorrhea should be treated; if this is done then usually a good prognosis will follow.

## [Sunting] Diagnosis of gonorrhea

Doctors or other health care workers usually use three laboratory techniques to diagnose gonorrhea: staining samples directly for the bacterium, detection of bacterial genes or DNA in urine, and growing the bacteria in laboratory cultures. Many doctors prefer to use more than one test to increase the chance of an accurate diagnosis.

The staining test involves placing a smear of the discharge from the penis or the cervix on a slide and staining the smear with a dye. Then the doctor uses a microscope to look for bacteria on the slide. One usually can get the test results while in the office or clinic. This test is quite accurate for men but not for women; only one in two women with gonorrhea have a positive stain.

More often, doctors use urine or cervical swabs for a new test that detects the genes of the bacteria. These tests are as accurate or more so than culturing the bacteria, and many doctors use them.

The culture test involves placing a sample of the discharge onto a culture plate and incubating it up to 2 days to allow the bacteria to grow. The sensitivity of this test depends on the site from which the sample is taken. Cultures of cervical samples detect infection approximately 90 percent of the time. The doctor also can take a culture to detect gonorrhea in the throat. The culture test allows testing for drug-resistant bacteria.

## [Sunting] Treatment

The mainstay of treatment is the appropriate use of antibiotics. While penicillin was the most common antibiotic used to treat gonorrhea up until the 1970s, an increase in antibiotic resistance has led to a decline in its use. Recommendations for first choice treatment of gonorrhea must therefore depend on local information on resistance patterns and it is not possible to make treatment recommendations that are applicable to all parts of the world.

Antibiotics that may be used to treat gonorrhea include:

- Cefixime 400 mg orally
- Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) 125 to 250 mg by intramuscular injection
- Cefotaxime 500 mg by intramuscular injection
- Cefpodoxime (Vantin) 400 mg orally
- Cefoxitin 2 g by intramuscular injection, plus probenecid 1 g orally
- Ciprofloxacin 500 mg orally
- Ofloxacin 400 mg orally
- Levofloxacin 250 mg orally
- Azithromycin 2 g orally
- Spectinomycin 2 g by intramuscular injection
- Amoxycillin 2 g plus probenecid 1 g orally
- Ampicillin 2 to 3 g plus probenecid 1 g orally

These drugs are all given as a single dose.

The level of tetracycline resistance in Neisseria gonorrheae is now so high as to make it completely ineffective in most parts of the world.

The fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin) cannot be used in pregnancy. It is important to refer all sexual partners to be checked for gonorrhea to prevent spread of the disease and to prevent the patient from becoming re-infected with gonorrhea. Patients should also be offered screening for other sexually transmitted infections. In areas where co-infection with chlamydia is common, doctors may prescribe a combination of antibiotics, such as ceftriaxone with doxycycline or azithromycin, to treat both diseases.

Penicillin is ineffective at treating rectal gonorrhea: this is because other bacteria within the rectum produce β-lactamases that destroy penicillin. All current treatment are less effective at treating gonorrhea of the throat, so the patient must be rechecked by throat swab 72 hours or more after being given treatment, and then retreated if the throat swab is still positive.

Although, gonorrhea usually does not require follow-up (with the exception of rectal or pharyngeal disease), patients are usually advised to phone for results 5 to 7 days after diagnosis to confirm that the antibiotic they received was likely to be effective. Patients are advised to abstain from sex during this time.

### [Sunting] US recommendations

The US does not have a federal system of sexual health clinics, and the majority of infections are treated in family practices. A third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic such as ceftriaxone is recommended for use in most areas. Some areas such as Hawaii and California, have very high levels of resistance to fluoroquinolone antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin) they are no longer used empirically to treat infections originating in these areas.

### [Sunting] UK recommendations

In the UK, the majority of patients with gonorrhea are treated in dedicated sexual health clinics. The current recommendation is for ceftriaxone or cefixime as first line therapy; no resistance to either drug has yet been reported in the UK. Levels of spectinomycin resistance in the UK are less than 1%, which would make it a good choice in theory, but intramuscular spectinomycin injection is very painful.

Azithromycin (given as a single dose of 2 g) is recommended if there is concurrent infection with chlamydia. A single dose of oral ciprofloxacin 500 mg is effective if the organism is known to be sensitive, but fluoroquinolones were removed from the UK recommendations for empirical therapy in 2003 because of increasing resistance rates. In 2005, resistance rates for ciprofloxacin were 22% for the whole of the UK (42% for London, 10% for the rest of the UK).[3]

## [Sunting] Prevention

As gonorrhea is a sexually-transmitted infection, proper use of barrier contraceptives such as condoms and dental dams will significantly reduce the risk of getting gonorrhea and its complications. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the only ways to completely eliminate the risk are sexual abstinence, or sex with a faithful monogamous partner who has been previously tested.

## [Sunting] Slang terms

### [Sunting] "The Clap"

Gonorrhea is also commonly known by the slang term "the clap". One suggested etymology is from the old French word "clapier", meaning "brothel". Another suggested source for the term is from a notorious 18th century keeper of a brothel, Margaret Clap (better known as "Mother Clap"), though perhaps her name itself was derived from the slang term. It could also refer to the painful sting in the male urethra, which feels like the sting of a clap (as in clapping hands) when infected with the disease. Yet another suggested source refers to a traditional treatment used to clear the blockage in the urethra from gonorrheal pus, where the penis would be "clapped" on both sides simultaneously.[4]

The term "clap" may be derived from its diplococcoid microscopic morphology, which is suggestive of two cocci "clapping".

This term has, in recent years, come to be used by extension to refer to any unspecified sexually transmitted disease.

### [Sunting] Other

- Dripping dick: Used mainly because of the discharge coming from the urethral opening of the penis.
- The term gonorrhea is built from the Greek prefix gono (seed) and suffix rrhea (to flow), and stems from the belief that the discharge contained semen.[5]

The popular AC/DC song "The Jack" is a story about a woman who gave lead singer Bon Scott gonorrhea. The 1975 "High Voltage" version of the song gives a more discreet description of what happened, but during the live performance of "The Jack" on the album, "If you want blood" he openly tells the crowd, even screaming the word, "Gonorrhea" after the first chorus.

## [Sunting] Gonorrhea in Culture

- The song "Why Does it Hurt When I Pee" by Frank Zappa (from the album Joe's Garage).
- The song "The Jack" by AC/DC.
- In A League of Their Own, Tom Hanks' character signs a baseball "Avoid the clap, Jimmy Duggan" and gives it to two children.
- In an acting assignment Kramer, from Seinfeld, was assigned to act out the symptoms of gonorrhea while doctors guessed the disease.
- In the song "So What", originally by the Anti-Nowhere League, the line "I've had crabs, I've had lice, I've had the clap and that ain't nice"
- In Big L's song "The Clinic (Shoulda Worn a Rubber)" he decribes how his boldness of not wearing protection led to him contracting gonorrhea from various women.
