What is gonorrhea and what are the symptoms?

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Symptoms can vary but often include painful urination, abnormal discharge from the genitals, and, in some cases, pelvic pain in women. Many individuals may be asymptomatic, which can lead to complications if left untreated. It's important to seek medical attention if you suspect an infection.
