What is gonorriah?

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It primarily affects the genital tract, but can also infect the rectum and throat. Symptoms in men often include painful urination and discharge, while women may experience milder symptoms or none at all, which can lead to complications if untreated. Gonorrhea can be effectively treated with antibiotics, but resistant strains are becoming increasingly common.
