Why is it difficult to treat gonorrhea while having sickle cell anemia?

Q: If a patient has sickle cell anemia and is diagnosed with gonorrhea, why is it difficult to treat the patient with a “normal” dose of antibiotics? What can happen if the gonorrhea is not treated right away?

A: Gonorrhea is not more difficult to treat in patients with Sickle Cell Anemia, but patients with Sickle Cell Anemia are at higher risk for more serious infections with Gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is treated with antibiotics and if appropriate antibiotics are chosen then treatment has the same effectiveness whether the person has sickle disease or not. Patients with sickle cell disease can develop widespread disease, which can produce a rash and joint issues. If the gonorrhea is not treated properly, then it could lead to spread through the bloodstream which leads to joint infections and a rash.

i don’t have gonorrhea so what happened?

Q: my girlfriend and i were with each other for about seven months. we broke up and she got tested, she had gonorrhea so i checked my self out and I’m clean. she was very slutty in the past and said she got it form some guy before me. we are looking to get back together and we’ve been apart for about a month. she claims she hasn’t been with anyone after me.So my question is, is it possible for her to have gonorrhea for so long and have sex with me for seven months, and me not get it? or did she lie and have sex with someone while we were apart and get it from them?i know its complicated but please i really need some advice!!!

A: If you were having unprotected sex, you should have it too. The only way you would not have it is if you used a condom every time. If that is not the case, then she is obviously lying. She contracted it after you two were broken up.

where does the gonorrhea bacteria come from?

Q: I know the that gonorrhea comes from the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae, but how do you get the bacteria?-Long story short. My homeboy’s girl have gonorrhea and found out she has had it for two weeks. Now my homeboy is about to get tested for it. They both claim they didnt have sex with no one else. [[i think she did]], but in a perfect world… What happen if they both are telling the truth? How can you get the gonorrhea bacteria? Not by washing right, having to much sex, etc?

A: Hey Jackie!First off, someone’s not telling the truth. If one of them got gonorrhea, then one of them had sex with an infected person. That’s the way it is. The only way to get gonorrhea is from vaginal, anal, or oral-genital contact with an infected person. Also, some people “cheat” by saying that giving oral isn’t sex. You bet it’s sex, and you can get it from oral sex with an infected person. I’m glad they’re getting tested. And they should get tested for HIV/AIDS, syphilis and other diseases too. It just takes having sex one time to get them.
