What is gonorrhea? What are common symptoms?

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by bacteria and is passed from one individual to another through oral, anal, or vaginal sex without a condom. While some people never develop noticeable symptoms, other symptoms may include frequent need to urinate, abnormal discharge from the penis or vagina, swelling or redness at the opening of the penis, swelling or pain in the testicles, persistent sore throat, pain during urination, and painful sex. The good news is that gonorrhea is easy to treat. Since it's bacterial, it can be easily treated with antibiotic injections and oral medications.
