Hi Shelawaty,
Gonorrhea or gonorrhea is a disease caused by infection with the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae which is generally transmitted through sexual activity (sexually transmitted diseases). This condition generally does not cause symptoms or only mild symptoms occur in women so that people infected with gonorrhea may not realize it.
However, the infection can spread to the female pelvic organs and cause inflammation of the pelvis (pelvic inflammatory disease) which causes symptoms of pelvic pain (lower abdomen), vaginal bleeding, fever or pain during sexual activity. In addition to pelvic inflammatory disease, gonorrhea can also cause blindness (if it infects the eye) and defects in the fetus/infant.
Even though your friend is experiencing various symptoms above, the complaints experienced by your friend are not necessarily caused by gonorrhea but can also be caused by various other medical conditions such as trichomoniasis, urinary tract infection, chlamydiasis, etc.
Sirin leaf is indeed one of the components commonly used for herbal medicines (natural) because it has an antibacterial effect. However, the use of betel leaf alone will not overcome the complaints you are experiencing and can actually make your complaints worse.
The various conditions above require treatment with antibiotics and antibiotics are drugs that are classified as prescription drugs whose use requires supervision or doctor's advice because they have the potential to cause various serious side effects up to death, so your friend should first check with a doctor to determine the cause of the complaint and get proper treatment. according to their needs.
Here are suggestions for your friends:
Avoid risky sexual activities It is better to avoid sexual activity until the condition is resolved Gonorrhea and various sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted so it is better for your friend's partner to also check himself for appropriate treatment Practice a healthy lifestyle Immediately consult a doctor if the complaint persists or worsens Hope this is useful,
