Gonorrhea
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
"Purgaciones" is a popular name by which gonorrhea has traditionally been known, a sexually transmitted infection caused by a bacterium. It mainly affects the genital and urinary tracts.
Frequent symptoms: It can cause burning when urinating, discharge through the urethra or vagina, and discomfort in the genital area; at times it occurs without evident symptoms, especially in women.
Why consult? Since it is transmitted through sexual contact, a timely evaluation helps to clarify the picture and to also care for the partner. Untreated infections can affect other organs.
Who to see? The pediatrician provides guidance when it involves children or adolescents, and refers to the appropriate professional depending on the case. When faced with urinary symptoms or unusual discharge, the prudent thing is to seek medical review without postponing it.
