Gonococcus is a bacterium that is transmitted during unprotected or inadequately protected sexual intercourse. Infection causes burning and/or a yellow discharge from the genital orifices, known as gonorrhea. In the event of infection, treatment consists of an injection of antibiotics to heal the infection and prevent more serious complications. To stop the chain of transmission, you need to inform your sexual partners so that they can be screened.
