| | | | Gonorrhoea - Woman: Encyclopedia II - Gonorrhoea - Complications In men, epididymitis, prostatitis and urethral stricture can result from untreated gonorrhoea.
In women, Bartholinitis and abscess formation (causing trouble walking), pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome can occur.
The most common result of untreated gonorrhea is PID, a serious infection of the female reproductive tract. PID causes scarring of the fallopian tubes which leads to increased risks of causing an ectopic pregnancy as a fertilized egg may not be able to pass through the narrowed, scarred fallopian tube. Ectopic pregnancies are serious conditions which are ...

| | | | Gonorrhoea - Woman: Encyclopedia II - Gonorrhoea - Epidemiology In 2000, 358,995 cases of gonorrhea were reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In the United States, approximately 75 percent of all reported cases of gonorrhea are found in younger persons aged 15 to 29 years. The highest rates of infection are usually found in 15- to 19-year old women and 20- to 24-year-old men. Perhaps counter-intuitively, American gonorrhea rates for youth 15-19 is 74 times the rate of youths in the Netherlands. Health economists estimate that the annual cost of gonorrhea and ...
