gonorrhea metronidazole :: Article Creator Non-adherent Treatment For Chlamydia, Gonorrhea Common In Primary Care A study yesterday in the Annals of Family Medicine indicates that many patients with chlamydia and gonorrhea infections aren't receiving guideline-adherent treatment in primary care settings.

This time it is not a new drug that is arousing new hope, but an improved and speedier way of detecting the disease. No Immunity. Though gonorrhea is less dramatic than syphilis in its crippling and death-dealing powers, it is not to be taken lightly.

first signs of stds in females :: Article Creator 7 Dangerous STDs With No Warning Signs Many common sexually transmitted diseases can lurk in the body without causing obvious signs, leading to delayed treatment and increased transmission The idea that sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) always announce themselves with uncomfortable or visible symptoms is a dangerous misconception that health experts are working to correct. Research shows that millions of Americans currently have STDs without experiencing any noticeable symptoms, creating a silent epidemic that contributes to the rising rates of infections nationwide.

The reality, however, is far more complicated. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), several of the most common STDs can remain c...
