Gonorrhea is about incurable?

Gonorrhea, a dangerous sexually transmitted infection is increasingly showing strong resistance and may not be cured in a short time, the World Health Organization (WHO) warns.

>>>Gonorrhea increases the risk of cancer

Currently, the WHO is urging governments and the health sector to strengthen the monitoring of the development of drug resistance of gonorrhea, a disease that can make patients infected, infertile, teratogenic and severe cases. , can kill at birth. Children born to mothers with gonorrhea will have an increased risk of eye inflammation up to 50% with the most serious consequences being blindness.

Only within the next 1-2 years, will smuggling become an irreparable disease?

'The bacteria are not responding to all the antibiotics we use,' said Dr. Manjula Lusti-Narasimhan of the WHO Department of STDs. Even cephalosporins, which are thought to be the last line of medical treatment today, are no exception.

'Within a year or two, it will be able to resist any treatment options we have in our hands.'

Previously, gonorrhea could be cured easily by penicillin. This is the second most common STDs after Chlamydia, a new infectious disease in the world. According to WHO estimates, about 106 million people suffer from gonorrhea every year globally. In addition, gonorrhea also increases the risk of other STDs such as HIV.

'This is not a problem of Europe or Africa alone, but of the whole planet,' said Dr. Lusti-Narasimhan.

Scientists believe that it is the abuse or misuse of antibiotics, combined with the surprising ability of gonorrhea to cause this disease to become 'a virus'. They mutated genes in a more healthy, antibiotic-resistant manner, and then quickly spread this gene into the same genus.

In fact, greasy medicine is a problem that all antibiotics have encountered over time, but gonorrhea has shown their adaptability to be super-fast. They have the ability to pick up superior DNA from other bacteria very quickly, WHO said.
