Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It can infect the genitals, rectum, and throat, and can spread through unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected partner. Symptoms of gonorrhea may include pain or burning during urination, unusual discharge from the male or female reproductive organs, and pain or swelling in the genital area. However, many people with gonorrhea do not experience any symptoms. If left untreated, gonorrhea can lead to serious complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease in women, infertility, and increased risk of contracting other STIs. Gonorrhea can be treated with antibiotics, but some varieties of the bacteria are becoming resistant to these medications, making prevention, including practicing safe sex and getting regular STI tests, crucial.
