Gonorrhoea - Bacterial Diseases - GCSE Biology

🦊 In this GCSE Biology video, we cover Gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted disease caused by a bacterium. The main symptoms are a thick yellow or green discharge from the vagina or penis and pain when urinating, though some people may show no symptoms. Untreated, gonorrhea can lead to infertility. The video highlights the evolution of antibiotic-resistant strains, making gonorrhea harder to treat compared to when penicillin was effective. It emphasizes the importance of barrier methods of contraception, like condoms, to prevent its spread and the need for treatment with newer antibiotics for both infected individuals and their sexual partners. For exams, it's crucial to know gonorrhea's transmission method, symptoms, and the importance of prevention and treatment strategies.
