Gonorrhea can spread by having sexual contact with an infected person, and from mother to child during childbirth. Gonorrhea is the second commonly reported bacterial sexually transmitted diseases, and the incidence of new cases of gonorrhea is especially high in developing countries, which can produce symptoms in men that cause them to seek curative treatment to prevent complications [22, 23].

Annual screening for *N. Gonorrhoeae* infection is recommended for all sexually active women aged <25 years and for older women at increased risk for infection. Risk factors for gonorrheal infection include inconsistent condom use among persons who are not in mutually monogamous relationships, exchanging sex for money, and coexisting STIs [2].
