Gonorrhea

Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted bacterial infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It often affects the genital tract but can also impact the throat and rectum. Many people may not show symptoms, but it can cause pain during urination, unusual discharge, and, if left untreated, serious health problems like infertility. Gonorrhea is treatable with antibiotics, but antibiotic resistance is a growing concern. Practicing safe sex, such as using condoms, can help prevent infection. Regular testing is important for sexually active individuals to maintain sexual health.
