Prevention: Safe sex and absitnence
,◉ Gonorrhea treatment and prevention. Answer: Treatment:
Antibacterial drugs (penicillin or ceftriaxone + doxycycline) Some
drug-resistant strains Retest for eradication
-Ophthalmia neonatorum prevented by prophylactic treatment of
eyes of all newborns within 1 hour
-Required by law in U.S.
◉ Trichomoniasis treatment. Answer: Metronidazole (Flagyl)
◉ Gonorrhea prognosis. Answer: Good with prompt diagnosis and
treatment.
◉ chlamydia prognosis. Answer: -good with early treatment
-if untreated: PID, infertility in females; epididymitis in males,
sterility in both
◉ endometriosis. Answer: a condition in which patches of
endometrial tissue escape the uterus and become attached to other
structures in the pelvic cavity
◉ Endometriosis Signs and Symptoms. Answer: Dysmenorrhea with
