The symptoms of gonorrhoea that often are noted first are a profuse discharge from the vagina, usually creamy or yellowish in color. This discharge is of such a nature that frequently it excoriates the external parts so that they become very tender and inflamed. Backache, especially across the hips, is a common accompaniment of this disease. There may be general soreness in the pelvic region.
It follows that at least every other person in the Kingdom has suffered from venereal disease. Probably not a family has escaped infection. In proportion to its prevalence syphilis is not very deadly, yet it has been reckoned as the fourth killing disease. The victims of gonorrhoea are incalculable. Venereal diseases fill our hospitals, asylums, and workhouses.
In German asylums Reinhard found that thirty per cent. lost their sight from the same cause. The total number of persons blind from gonorrhoeal infection from their mothers at birth is enormous. Although gonorrhoea is liable to produce many and various calamities, there can be no doubt that the majority of gonorrhoeal persons escape either suffering or inflicting any very serious injury.
If it is not properly cured, a constitutional poison which may be transmitted to the children is developed. I know, from years of experience and observation, that gonorrhoea is a serious difficulty, and one, too, that complicates many cases that we have to treat. "The same is true of syphilis in a modified degree.
The microscope has proven that even though a man may seemingly be healthy and capable of sustaining the marriage relation, yet his efforts are valueless; for the spermatozoa, the life-giving element, are dead, due usually to an inflammation which accompanied an attack of this seemingly mild disease, gonorrhoea. This disease is responsible for many of the one child marriages.
The general acceptance of the fact that syphilis and gonorrhoea are diseases, and not necessarily crimes or sins, is the condition for any practical attempt to deal with this question from the sanitary point of view which is now taking the place of the antiquated and ineffective police point of view.
An instance did not occur of any one going mad during the period of my residence. Many of them are affected with a kind of gonorrhoea. THE ANJING-AYER, Mustela lutra. W. Bell delt. THE ANJING-AYER. Sinensis delt. A. Cardon fc.
Gonorrhoea seems to attack the nobler tissues, the lungs, the heart, and the nervous system, all of which are reached by syphilis only after the lapse of years." The Destructive After-Effects of Mercury
Hoffmann said that abstinence is harmless, adding that though it certainly leads to masturbation, that is better than gonorrhoea, to say nothing of syphilis, and is easily kept within bounds. Strümpell replied that sexual abstinence is harmless, and indirectly useful as preserving from the risk of venereal disease, but that sexual intercourse, being normal, is always more desirable.
In this disease the actions of these vessels producing ulcers on the throat and skin are imperfect imitations of those producing chanker, or gonorrhoea; since the matter produced by them is not infectious, while the imitative actions in the hydrophobia appear to be perfect resemblances, as they produce a material equally infectious with the original one, which induced them.
