Uncomplicated gonorrhea refers to an infection with the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae in the urogenital tract (including the cervix, urethra, or rectum) that does not involve any complications or additional health problems.
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause a range of symptoms, including pain or burning during urination, discharge from the penis or vagina, and pain or bleeding during sex. However, many people with gonorrhea may not experience any symptoms at all.
Uncomplicated gonorrhea can be easily treated with antibiotics, typically with a single dose of medication. It's important to get tested and treated promptly if you suspect you may have gonorrhea, as untreated infections can lead to serious health complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and an increased risk of HIV transmission.
Additionally, because gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection, it's important to inform recent sexual partners so that they can be tested and treated as well. To prevent the spread of gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted infections, it's also important to practice safe sex by using condoms during sexual activity and getting tested regularly.
