Here is some related detailed info in respect of this disease:


What is gonorrhoea and how is it passed on?

Gonorrhoea is a bacterial infection sometimes called \'the clap\'. It infects the genitals, urethra, anus, rectum and throat. More rarely, it can affect the blood, skin, joints and eyes.

About 1 in 10 men and 1 in 2 women with gonorrhoea have no symptoms at all. Symptoms can include discharge from the vagina or penis and pain when urinating. Gonorrhoea can cause serious health problems if left untreated. It\'s easy to treat with antibiotics.

Gonorrhoea is infectious and easily passed on through:

Vaginal, oral or anal sex.
Close physical contact.
Sharing sex toys.
From a mother to her baby at birth.
It can be passed from the genitals to the eyes by the fingers.

Remember: You can\'t catch gonorrhoea from sharing towels, cups, plates or cutlery, or from toilet seats.

Signs & symptoms
About 10% of men and up to 50% of women with gonorrhoea have no symptoms at all. Symptoms may be noticed 1-14 days after infection. Gonorrhoea in the throat rarely shows symptoms

Symptoms in women

Strong smelling discharge which may be thin/watery or yellow/green.
Pain when passing urine.
Irritation or discharge from the anus.
Possibly some low abdominal or pelvic tenderness

Symptoms in men

White, yellow or green discharge from the tip of the penis.
Inflammation of the testicles and prostate gland.
Pain when urinating.
Irritation or discharge from the anus.

How to avoid STIs

Talk to your partner about how to protect yourselves before you have sex.
A male or female condom can provide protection from most STIs if used correctly every time you have sex.
Become familiar with how to use condoms and have a supply ready - always use condoms with the BSI kitemark and CE mark.
Seek advice straight away if you are concerned about infection.

Some useful information

I have no idea what the Hindi term is, but according to my Merriam Websters, it is "a contagious inflammation of the genital mucous membrane caused by the gonococcus" is also called "the clap"

Some information as regards the cure:

"What is the treatment for gonorrhea?

Several antibiotics can successfully cure gonorrhea in adolescents and adults. However, drug-resistant strains of gonorrhea are increasing in many areas of the world, including the United States, and successful treatment of gonorrhea is becoming more difficult. Because many people with gonorrhea also have chlamydia, another sexually transmitted disease, antibiotics for both infections are usually given together. Persons with gonorrhea should be tested for other STDs.

It is important to take all of the medication prescribed to cure gonorrhea, even if the symptoms or signs stop before all the medication is gone. Although medication will stop the infection, it will not repair any permanent damage done by the disease. People who have had gonorrhea and have been treated can get the disease again if they have sexual contact with persons infected with gonorrhea. If you continue to have symptoms even after you receive treatment, you should return to your physician to be reevaluated."
