Gonorrhea

When urinary discomfort or unusual discharge appears after sexual intercourse, it is worth considering sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea and seeking guidance. It is an infection caused by a bacterium that can affect the urinary and genital tracts, and sometimes other areas of the body.

Common symptoms: burning when urinating, abnormal discharge, and, in many cases, no symptoms at all, which favors its silent transmission.

Why treat it? Without timely evaluation it can spread and affect reproductive health.

Which specialist treats it? The infectious disease specialist, the urologist, and the gynecologist take part depending on the case, and the general practitioner can begin the evaluation. Going in for a visit and discussing the situation openly is the first step toward responsible management.
