Doctors might not be able to treat gonorrhea in the future
If you don’t remember what gonorrhea is, it’s the sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacteria neisseria gonorrhoeae. While you won’t die from it, left untreated gonorrhea can cause pelvic inflammatory disease in women and epididymitis in men – both, of which can lead to infertility. In addition, people with gonorrhea are more susceptible to contracting HIV.
