Gonorrhea, one of the common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), is caused by a bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Along with diseases like syphilis, chlamydia, human papillomavirus, hepatitis B, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), gonorrhea is spread through sexual activity. Gonorrhea can also be passed from a pregnant woman to her baby. If untreated, gonorrhea can develop into a more serious infection called pelvic inflammatory disease.
