[The menstrual cycle in women with gonorrhea]

Various abnormalities of the menstrual cycle have been revealed in 9.57% of the 763 patients with gonorrhea. When the disease takes a chronic course, a wider spectrum of the cycle abnormalities develops, because of hypoestrogenia characteristic of a prolonged course of a gonococcal infection. Menstrual cycle disorders are more frequent in the women with manifest gonorrhea.
