The Sexually Transmitted Disease I chose is Mucopurulent Cervicitis. It is also known as MPC. According to University of South Carolina Student Health Services website, “Mucopurulent Cervicitis is often cause by inflection and the infection can be caused by a number of different organisms”1, but then the “cause can be unknown or unclear”.1 I think that this is a contradicting statement. The article when on to say that “chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomonas, or herpes can cause Mucopurulent Cervicitis, but most cases no cause can be identified”.1 Being a sexually transmitted disease, it is only logical to think that Mucopurulent Cervicitis is spread through sexual contact. With “some cases the origin of the infection is not clear and most women with Mucopurulent Cervicitis do not have gonorrhea or chlamydia”.1 Mucopurulent Cervicitis is an extremely dangerous STD because “it …show more content…

According to Before Play.org, the only considerations is to “avoid douching because it can hide the symptoms of Mucopurulent Cervicitis making it harder to diagnose and treat the disease”.2 According to NCBi.gov website, the treatment used for treating Mucopurulent Cervicitis is a “randomized trial of doxycycline or treatment with amoxicillin”.6 The website went on to further say in the article that “patients were followed up for three months and that the treatment was assessed by clinical and microbiologic criteria and that the doxycycline and amoxicillin are effective treatments for patients with Mucopurulent Cervicitis from

  • Chlamydia Trachomatis

    656 Words  | 2 Pages

    Virulence Factors: The cell wall of Chlamydia has been characterized as gram negative with a notable difference: it lacks muramic acid that is found in the cell walls of most other bacteria. This makes Chlamydia resistant to _-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin, because such antibiotics disrupt the “typical” cell wall, which includes muramic acid. Being gram-negative, it also contains LPS, which helps cause damage to the host’s body(mainly due to the host’s immune response). Once inside the host, chlamydia bind sialic acid receptors, which are usually found in mucous-rich environments. Antigenic variation is ...

  • Cysts Essay

    1259 Words  | 3 Pages

    The breast is a muscle connected to the chest wall made up of fatty tissues containing milk-forming glands that drain into the breast ducts during breast-feeding, and then leave the ducts through the nipple (Newson et al). These glands can decrease or increase in number and size. Breast lumps or cysts can form in various tissues or components that make up the breast. The English diction cyst comes from the Ancient Greek word kystis, meaning “bladder” or “pouch”. A cyst is an organ or cavity containing a liquid, semisolid or gaseous secretion. Cysts appear within tissue and can affect any part of the human body. They range in size from minuscule to the mass of team-sport balls such as tennis or baseballs. Cysts are also referred to as any normal bag or sac in the body, such as the bladder.

  • Essay On Kidney Infection

    753 Words  | 2 Pages

    Urinary Tract Infection, also known as UTI, occurs in two common locations, the bladder and kidneys. The kidneys are important organs that aid in filtering out waste products from blood and maintaining water distribution throughout the body. The waste products are filtered out via bladder, which is the reason of the bladder being the second site for the infection. A normal human being has two kidneys, one on left and right side, a bean shaped organ, and is located at the back of the abdomen. “Each kidney is about 11.5 cm long, 5-7.5 cm broad, 5 cm thick, and weight about 150 grams” (HealthInfoNet, Paragraph 2). Furthermore, a bacterium named Escherichia coli lives in both the kidneys and the GI tract. E. coli is part of the human body and produces

  • Laminitis Essay

    2294 Words  | 5 Pages

    The majority of clinical cases of laminitis occur at pasture where there is an accumulation of rapidly fermentable non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) such as fructans, simple sugars or starches (Geor, 2010). Pasture-associated laminitis has major economic and welfare implications in the equine sector. Increased risk factors include insulin resistance, increased insulin secretory response, hypertriglyceridaemia and obesity (Asplin, et al., 2007;Carter, et al., 2009 and de Laat, et al., 2010). Insulin resistance has been associated with a number of problems in the horse, most notably laminitis. Insulin resistance can be defined as a physiological condition in which cells have a diminished response to normal actions of the hormone insulin. Insulin is produced but the cells become resistant and are less capable in transporting glucose from the bloodstream to muscle and other tissues. In horses, insulin resistance is associated with a number of diseases such as Equine Metabolic Syndrome (Powell, et al., 2002; Hoffman, et al., 2003;Vick, et al., 2006 and Frank, et al., 2009), Equine Cushing Disease (McGowan, et al., 2004 and Walsh, et al., 2009) and Laminitis (Treiber, et al., 2006;Bailey, et al., 2007;McGowan, 2008 and Geor, 2008). Obesity and insulin resistance in ponies has become a common problem and there is a growing awareness on the role that diet and exercise has to play (Jeffcott, et al., 1986; Frank, et al., 2006 and Vick & Adams, 2007). Over-expressed adipocytokines, such as leptin, have been suggested to impair insulin signalling and cause the up regulation of inflammatory cytokines. This then further contributes to impaired insulin signalling and endothelial dysfunction (Radin, et al., 2009). The restriction of energy throu...

    Bacterial Vaginosis is a common condition. It is the most frequent vaginal complaint in women and young girls age 14 to 44. My research shows that approximately 29% of women in the US are disturbed by, bacterial vaginosis.It is found in about 25% of pregnant women in the US and approximately 60% of women who have an STD. Bacterial vagnios produces a discharge, from an overgrowth of unusual bacteria in the vagina. In the past, the condition was called gardneralla vaginitis, after the bacteria that was thought to cause the infection. Now it is called bacterial vaginosis, reflecting the fact that there are a number of bacteria that naturally live in the vaginal area and may grow out of control. The gardnerella organism is not the only villain causing the diagnostics. When these different species of bacteria become unstable, a woman can have a vaginal secretion with a vile odor.

  • Urinary Tract Infection Essay

    A urinary tract infection is a very common infection that can happen to anybody. A urinary tract infection usually occurs when bacteria enters the urethra and multiples in the urinary system. The Urinary tract includes the kidneys, the thin tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder (ureters), and the main tube that carries the urine from the bladder (urethra). Women, men, and children are all immune to this infection. Women have the highest chances of getting it. In the Urinary tract, the main links of the ureters help get rid of any bacteria that tries to enter the urine, and the bladder helps prevent urine from backing up into the kidneys.

  • Sexually Transmitted Diseases

    Sexually Transmitted Diseases Sexually Transmitted Diseases STDs, a.k.a venereal diseases, infectious diseases passed from one person to another during sexual contact. STDs are the most common infections known. More than 12 million people in the United States, including 3 million teenagers, are infected with STDs every year. The United States has the highest STD rate in the world about one in ten Americans will contract an STD during his or her lifetime. People who do not know they are infected risk infecting their sexual partners and, in some cases, their unborn children. If left untreated, these diseases may cause pain or may destroy a woman's ability to have children. Some STDs can be cured with a single dose of antibiotics, but AIDS cannot be cured. Those most at risk for contracting STDs are people who have unprotected sex—without using a condom, people who have multiple partners, and people whose sex partners are drug users who share needles. Static’s show that Americans between the ages of 16 and 24 are most likely of catching STDs than older adults, because younger people usually have multiple sexual partners than an older person in a long-term relationship. Teenagers may be embarrassed to tell their sexual partners they are infected Teenagers may also be embarrassed or unable to seek medical attention for STDs. This means that they only more likely to pass the disease to other young people and have a greater risk of suffering the long-term consequences of untreated STDs. STDs are transmitted by infectious bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and single-celled organisms called protozoa that live in warm, moist parts of the body, like the genital area, mouth, and throat. Most STDs are spread while having sex, but oral sex can also spread disease. Some STDs are passed from a mother to her child while pregnant, when the disease enters the baby's bloodstream, during childbirth as the baby passes through the birth canal, or after birth, when the baby drinks infected breast milk. AIDS can be transmitted by blood contact such as open wounds, between people who share infected needles or received through an injection of infected blood. Some people believe that STDs can be transmitted through shaking hands or other casual contact, or through contact with inanimate objects such as clothing or toilet seats, but they can’t. Chlamydeous, is from trachoma is bacterium, is the most commonly transmitted STD in the United States.

  • Essay On Peritonitis

    347 Words  | 1 Pages

    In layman’s term, peritonitis is the inflammation of the membrane lining the abdominal wall, the peritoneal cavity, and covering the abdominal organs. Peritonitis is characterized by the presence of infectious agents such as bacteria or fungi in the peritoneal cavity, rupture or perforation in the abdomen or as a complication resulting from other medical conditions. Peritonitis is infectious and may be idiopathic, which is when a disease arises spontaneously for an unknown cause. Peritonitis may be acute or chronic, septic or nonseptic, localized or generalized, or adhesive or exudative. In rare cases, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis results when the peritoneal cavity is infected by blood borne bacteria. Specific bacterial agents include gram-negative Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and gram-positive Streptococcus pneumoniae. Usually only a single organism is involved in the disease. The more common type of peritonitis, known as secondary peritonitis, occurs when the infection comes into the peritoneum through a perforation in the abdominal wall. Peritonitis has existed since the beginning of time. In ancient India, Mesopotamia and Egypt no progress was made in surgery as penetrating wounds of the abdomen were treated simply by cleaning the bowel, suturing holes and returning the bowel into the abdomen. Embalming did not improve the knowledge of anatomy and physiology and while many diseases were put into a system of nosology, peritonitis was not one of them. Progress in the knowledge of peritonitis was made by

    I noticed quite a few years ago that suddenly everyone in early recovery from addiction to drugs and alcohol was also being diagnosed as bipolar; not just a few people, almost everyone was labeled bipolar. Most of these individuals were also taking medications that their doctor had prescribed to deal with their mania and depression. Suddenly everyone had a “dual diagnosis,” these seemed like magical words for managed-care approvals.

  • Obstetrics And Gynecology Essay

    1167 Words  | 3 Pages

    An obstetrician is one thing, and a gynecologist is another. The job is combined together, but the two branches can be worked separately. An obstetrician is a physician who focuses and is trained in the management of pregnancy, labor, and pueperium (the period following childbirth). A physician who has specialized and trained in the health of the female reproductive system is a gynecologist. The reason the jobs are combined is because they’re both all about women. Obstetricians and Gynecologists are physicians who provide general medical care to women. They equip medical care associated with pregnancy or childbirth, and they diagnose, treat, and help prevent diseases, especially those affecting the female
