Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea can be very dangerous if it is left untreated, even in someone who has mild or no symptoms. In girls, the infection can move into the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries and can lead to scarring and infertility.
What happens when untreated in girls
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The bacteria can be passed from one person to another through vaginal, oral, or anal sex, even when the person who is infected has no symptoms.
What is it?
In both guys and girls, untreated gonorrhea can affect other organs and parts of the body including the throat, eyes, heart, brain, skin, and joints, although this is less common.
What happens when untreated in guys an girls
In guys, gonorrhea can spread to the epididymis the structure attached to the testicle that helps transport sperm, causing pain and swelling in the testicular area. This can create scar tissue that might make a guy infertile.
