Gonorrhea is a disease caused by bacteria and transmitted from one person to another, mainly through unprotected sexual contact. It can also be passed from a mother to her baby during birth. In children, gonorrhea can lead to neonatal conjunctivits, which then leads to blindness, painful urination and failure to produce children in the future. Seek diagnosis and treatment IMMEDIATELY from the nearest health unit if you think your baby has gonorrhea.
