Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by an organism called neisseria Gonorrheae. Men and women can pass it to men or women; it can infect tissues of the thoat, cervix, urethra or rectum.

In general, symptoms (usually painful urination and discharge in men, a purulent discharge and possible irritation in women) begin in 3-5 days.

Since the urinary pain is due to the destruction of the urethral lining, it seems safe to assume the damage is occurring at that point.

In men, the damage can incluce scarification of the urethra resulting in strictures, that is, blockage of the urethra resulting in an inability to urinate and the need to reopen the urethra. This can be painful. Gonorrhea can go on to infect the testicles or prostate if untreated.

In women, untreated gonorrhea can lead to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), which can result in surgical emergencies, organ rupture, infertility or death.

In both men and women, gonorrhea can disseminate into the bloodstream and cause many problems, such as serious joint inflammation. This is rare.

Gonorrhrea can be treated with an injection of Ceftriaxone and is often accompanied by treatment for Chlamydia. It can be prevented by using condoms appropriately.

Gonorrhea can start damaging tissues within a few days to weeks of infection if left untreated. The severity of tissue damage can vary depending on the individual and how long the infection has been present. Treatment with antibiotics is crucial to prevent further complications.

What is the difference between mobilizing tissue and surgically undermining tissue?

Mobilizing tissue involves releasing adhesions and improving tissue flexibility through manual techniques or exercises. Surgically undermining tissue involves separating tissue layers in surgery to create space or facilitate movement. The former is non-invasive and typically done by a therapist, while the latter is a surgical technique performed by a surgeon.


What does the surgeon mean when she reports that the tumor was gradually dissected?

Dissection is separation of tissue. When a surgeon is dissecting a tumor, they are separating the tumor from the tissue to which it is attached so they can remove it. To document as a gradual dissection, they are indicating that they had to really take their time to carefully go one layer at a time to remove the attachment of the tumor without compromising or destroying the surrounding tissue.

How long does it take to get out vagina mucus?

Not sure about your question, but mucus is a normal thing for the vagina. The tissue in the vaginal sheath contains goblet cells that secrete mucus. This is completely normal and helps to prevent tissue damage. If the vagina did not stay moist, that would be completely unhealthy and require treatment to prevent permanent damage.

How long does it take for damaged brain tissue to repair itself?

The brain has limited ability to repair itself, and the extent of recovery depends on the severity and location of the damage. In cases of mild injury, the brain can sometimes repair itself over several weeks to months. However, severe damage may result in permanent neurological deficits. Rehabilitation efforts, such as physical therapy or speech therapy, can help promote recovery.
