Does gonorrhea cause a burning sensation in the vagina? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Yes, gonorrhea often causes vaginal burning in women. A burning sensation is a common symptom of inflammation caused by gonorrhea and can occur in the cervix, urethra, or other parts of the reproductive system.
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This bacteria is usually transmitted during unprotected sex with an infected person. In women, gonorrhea can cause a variety of symptoms, including a burning sensation, vaginal discharge, pain during urination, pain during intercourse, irregular menstruation, and other signs of inflammation.
Women who experience symptoms must consult a doctor who will perform the necessary tests to confirm gonorrhea. If the diagnosis is confirmed, gonorrhea can be treated with antibiotics. Treatment is critical to preventing the spread of infection, preventing complications, and maintaining sexual health.
