Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacteria N. gonorrhoeae.1 In Hindi, it is known as 'sujak rog,' that spreads through sexual contact (vaginal, anal, or oral sex).2,1
Gonorrhea/ sujak rog can cause serious health complications if left untreated. It's typical symptoms in men include a burning sensation during urination and a white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis. In women, the infection may cause abdominal pain, vaginal discharge, and bleeding between periods.1
Since, many women may not experience any symptoms of gonorrhea, it's advised (and their sexual partners) to get proactively tested for it.1 If you doubt you may have gonorrhea or any other STD, it is essential to seek medical attention right away.
