Under normal physiological conditions, there are anatomical differences in the urethra between men and women. The female urethra is shorter than the male urethra, making the symptoms of gonorrhea less pronounced in women. In terms of symptoms, gonorrhea differs between men and women. Due to the longer male urethra, the acute stage of gonorrhea in men is more pronounced, while in women, it is more subtle and easily overlooked.

Most cases of gonorrhea are chronic, lacking typical symptoms and causing many complications for patients. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are essential to minimize the complications of the disease.

Every year, there are an estimated 250 million new cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) worldwide. Most of these diseases can be transmitted either directly or indirectly.
