What causes gonorrhea? Three major factors need attention

With the full liberalization of sexual life, the outbreak rate of gonorrhea has gradually increased. The arrival of gonorrhea has brought great trouble to many people. Many people think that gonorrhea is only transmitted through sexual intercourse, so they feel puzzled that they have gonorrhea. In fact, gonorrhea is not only caused by sexual transmission, but also by two other reasons.

1. Direct transmission.

Whenever asked about the transmission methods of sexually transmitted diseases, I believe that many people's first impression is direct sexual contact. Since gonorrhea is a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease, direct sexual contact is the main route of transmission of gonorrhea. Gonorrhea in men is almost always caused by sexual contact. The disease can occur 3-5 days after infection. The infected population is mainly young and middle-aged people.

2. Traumatic infection.

How gonorrhea can be transmitted? This is a question that everyone is concerned about now. Experts say that traumatic infection caused by lack of protection can also cause gonorrhea. Gonorrhea virus can enter the body through small breaks in the skin or mucous membranes. After a few days of incubation, the bacteria will multiply to a sufficient number and cause disease.

3. Low immunity.

In addition to the two common modes of transmission mentioned above, the patient's own low immunity is also one of the main causes of gonorrhea. Low immunity mainly refers to non-sexual transmission. The disease can be transmitted through contact with the secretions of a gonorrhea patient or contaminated utensils, such as towels, foot cloths, foot basins, clothes and quilts stained with secretions, and even toilet seats.

Through the expert’s explanation, I believe everyone now has a certain understanding of the causes of gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is highly contagious, so everyone should be prepared to prevent it and try to avoid the above three factors to reduce the chance of contracting gonorrhea.
