Gonorrhea is a prevalent sexually transmitted infection caused by gram-negative diplococci. It spreads mainly through sexual contact and can lead to severe complications if not treated. Symptoms vary by gender, with males often experiencing urethritis and discharge, while females may face endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease. Diagnosis is done through nucleic acid amplification tests, and treatment typically involves antibiotics. It’s important to avoid sexual contact for seven days after treatment.
