Facts About Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It primarily spreads through sexual contact and can affect both men and women. Symptoms of gonorrhea can include painful urination, genital discharge, and in some cases, it may cause more serious health complications if left untreated.

The Call-On-Doc Guide to Gonorrhea
Informally known as “the clap,” gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. One of the most common STIs, second behind chlamydia, gonorrhea cases have constantly risen year over year since 2009. (1)
Due to a majority of cases going without noticeable symptoms, it's suspected that reported cases only make up a fraction of a much greater number. In addition, those who are younger and more sexually active are less likely to practice safe sex, therefore being more prone to gonorrhea transmission and may not be informed about the symptoms.
