Gonorrhea Symptoms, Incubation Period, Treatment, and Recovery

Reported 12 months ago

Gonorrhea, caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria, is a sexually transmitted infection that mainly affects the reproductive organs. Symptoms in men include discharge from the urethra and pain during urination, while women may experience increased vaginal discharge. Without treatment, gonorrhea can lead to serious complications such as infertility. The infection can also affect the rectum and throat, making treatment crucial for both partners. Antibiotics are the standard treatment, but drug-resistant strains have emerged. Preventive measures include safe sexual practices and regular screening.
