Common bacterial infection caused by Neisseria Gonorrhoeae. Although infections can be asymptomatic for both men and women, symptoms for men can include: urethritis, epididymitis and prostatitis. Symptoms for women can include: urethritis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Testing is highly recommended for sexually active adults and before serious complications develop. Treatment can be administered through intrevenous means or orally and can consist of one or more doses.

common sexually transmitted disease caused by a bacterium, which can lead to infertility in women.
A bacterial disease spread by sexual contact.
A sexually transmitted disease that may produce no symptoms in women but can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and arthritis. HDL: High-density lipoprotein helps to decrease the risk of coronary heart disease. HDL is composed of more protein than cholesterol an as it travels through the blood, it appears to carry plaque away from the walls of blood vessels.
A chiefly sexually transmitted infection caused by gonococci bacteria. If left untreated, gonorrhea can result in complications including sterility, blindness (preventive treatment is thus routinely given to newborns), or spread to the heart and joints. Women with gonorrhea may be asymptomatic, whereas men often present with a noticeable discharge from the penis.
A sexually transmitted disease that is caused by a bacterium that inĂ¾ames and damages epithelial cells of the reproductive system.
A sexually transmitted infection caused by the microorganism Neisseria gonorrhea, which, if left untreated in a woman, may cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), pelvic adhesions and tubal blockage
a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Gonorrhea may be asymptomatic or may include symptoms such as urethritis, discharge, pelvic pain and inflammation of the tissues of the genitals, rectum and/or throat. Untreated gonorrhea may spread to the upper genital tract and lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and may become disseminated, affecting other organs such as the heart and brain.
