Gonorrhea spreads by oral sex

Oral sex without condoms facilitates gonorrhea spread in the context of increasing resistance to bacteria.

Gonorrhea is considered a threat to the world. Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) has found that oral sex does not use condoms as one of the main causes of the spread of gonorrhea.

"The risk of oral sex is very clear," said Emilie Alirol from the Association of Global Antibiotic Research with the New York Times. Specifically, if you do not use condoms, contraband bacteria from the mouth, throat for easy transmission, attack the recipient. This can lead to a range of health problems such as pelvic inflammation, ectopic pregnancy, infertility, and increased risk of HIV.

More dangerous, gonorrhea bacteria began to develop resistance. WHO confirmed that at least 3 people with gonorrhea can not be cured in Japan, France and Spain. This number is more likely to be "the tip of the iceberg" because the diagnosis and reporting system is still limited in poor countries where gonorrhea is common.

To control gonorrhea, Dr. Marc Sprenger, director of WHO's Anti-Microbial Anti-Bacterial Program, recommends that the global medical team focus on developing new antibiotics as well as gonorrhea vaccine. Besides, it is necessary to build new tools and systems so that the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring process is more accurate and quick.
