Germs of Gonorrhea

Germs of Gonorrhea

Gonorrhea may cause stricture, bladder disease, rheumatism, heart disease, sterility and other diseases. If the germs of gonorrhea get into the body, they may remain in the deeper parts and, long after an apparent cure, cause a return of the disease. Gonorrhea can be cured if promptly and thoroughly treated, but its cure is often exceedingly difficult.
