WHAT IS GONORRHEA?
Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It can affect multiple parts of the body, including the genital tract, rectum, throat, and eyes. This infection is primarily spread through unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected partner. Since gonorrhea often presents no symptoms, many people unknowingly carry and spread the infection.
