The transmission occurs mainly through unprotected sexual intercourse, both vaginal, anal, and oral. The infection can also be transmitted from the mother to the newborn during birth.

• Unusual discharge from the genitals.
• Itching or burning in the genital area.
• Pain during sexual intercourse.
• Pain or burning during urination.
• Redness and swelling in the genital area.

The diagnosis is made through a medical history and physical examination, supplemented by laboratory tests. Swabs from the infected area are tested for the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Urine samples or blood tests can also be used to confirm the infection. Early diagnosis is crucial to avoid complications such as infertility and to prevent the spread of the infection.

Gonorrhea is usually treated with antibiotics. With the increasing resistance of certain bacterial strains to conventional antibiotics, it is important to carry out the treatment quickly and in a targeted manner.

Avoiding unprotected sexual intercourse and the consistent use of condoms are the most effective measures for prevention. Regular health check-ups and tests for sexual risk behaviors are also recommended.
