a woman is pregnant and has been married. when she has to be tested for gonorrhea?

Question

Could gonorrhea cause problems during pregnancy?

Answer 1

First visit: All pregnant women are tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia at their first visit when a pap smear is done. Married or single does not really factor into it.

Answer 2

Normal: Uterine contractions ("cramps") are common-though they may not be noticable.

Answer 3

Vaginal swab culture: All pregnant women are tested by a swab during 35to37weeks gestation aswab is taken from vagina and rectum and sent to the lab to be tested for groupb strep and result is available in 24to 48 hours.

Answer 4

??????: At age 30 you are about 20-21 yrs away from the avg age of menopause, you should be getting a pelvic and pap with breast exam every year std screening can also be done at that visit, i rec my pts to do month self breast exam after the period, baseline mammogram at age 35 if no one feels a lump or anything abnormal before that, multi- vitamin with calcium and vit d every day, eat healthy, don'tsmok.

Answer 5

Could be : She needs to be seen and have that evaluated. Black center means a necrotic center and may need to be debrided. Make an appointment.

Answer 6

Hard to say : Since haiti is a semitropical country, and other exotic diseases exist ther that may not exist in the usa, this is hard to say. It is possible that this could be a "necrotic bite" but this could be due to other things beside a spider. Eitherway, i would get her seen by her doctor as soon as possible.

Answer 7

Lesion: A black eschar is often seen with venomous spider bites - but there can be other causes as well. Please have this promptly evaluated. Depending on situation, wound may need debridement.

Answer 8

Kinda: If you have little to no estrogen from your ovaries you should not bleed at all. But if you have some in your diet or are overweight you may have bleeding so talk to your obgyn or endocrinologist.

Answer 9

Well: Having uterine bleeding and having a period can be different. If you have had ovarian failure at your age, gone longer than a year without a cycle than you should go see your doc. That would be equivalent to post menopausel bleeding which requires a workup. Adipose tissue creates estrogen as well by converting adrenal hormones; this can cause some growth of the lining and bleeding. Good luck.
