Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea is a bacterial STD that can infect the genitals, throat, or rectum. Many people don’t notice symptoms, but without treatment, it can cause pain or long-term health issues.
How It Spreads
It spreads through vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone infected. Because symptoms may not appear, regular testing is essential. Condoms reduce risk and protect partners.
What Happens in the Body
Gonorrhea infects the lining of reproductive or urinary tracts. If untreated, it can cause pelvic pain or infertility. Prompt antibiotic care stops damage and prevents spread.
Living With or Managing the Condition
Gonorrhea is curable with antibiotics. Avoid sex until treatment is complete and partners are checked. In Miami, confidential clinics offer care, testing, and guidance.
