About Gonorrhoea in New Delhi
Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which primarily infects the mucous membranes of the reproductive tract but can also affect the throat, rectum, and eyes. It spreads through vaginal, anal, or oral sexual contact with an infected partner, and while it commonly causes noticeable genital discharge and discomfort, a significant proportion of infections, particularly in women, produce no symptoms at all, allowing the infection to spread unknowingly and potentially cause serious complications. If left untreated, gonorrhoea can ascend into the upper reproductive tract, causing pelvic inflammatory disease in women and epididymitis in men, both of which can lead to infertility. Growing antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae has made accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment increasingly important from a public health perspective.
