Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is statement 1.

Explanation:

Gonorrhea refers to an infection resulting due to sexually transmitted bacteria, which can infect both females and males. Gonorrhea generally affects the rectum, urethra, or throat. However, in females, gonorrhea can also affect the cervix. The most common cause of the condition is sexual intercourse.  

Some of the signs and symptoms of the infection in women are:  

1. Vaginal bleeding between periods like post-vaginal intercourse.  

2. Enhanced discharge from the vagina and painful urination.  

3. Abdominal or pelvic pain and painful intercourse.  

However, if the condition left untreated, then it can result in serious issues like infertility in women. The untreated gonorrhea infection can spread into the fallopian tube and uterus, leading to the pelvic inflammatory disorder that may pose greater threat of pregnancy issues and infertility.

What are the complications of gonorrhea?

Untreated gonorrhea can cause serious and permanent health problems in both women and men.

In women, gonorrhea can spread into the uterus or fallopian tubes and cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). The symptoms may be quite mild or can be very severe and can include abdominal pain and fever 13. PID can lead to internal abscesses and chronic pelvic pain. PID can also damage the fallopian tubes enough to cause infertility or increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
