Gonorrhoea

Gonorrhoea is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The usual symptoms in men are burning sensation with urination and penile discharge. Women, on the other hand, are asymptomatic half the time or have vaginal discharge and pelvic pain. In both men and women, if gonorrhoea is left untreated, it may spread locally causing epididymitis or pelvic inflammatory disease.
