Chlamydia and gonorrhea are sexually transmitted infections (STIs) caused by bacteria. Chlamydia is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, while gonorrhea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Both infections are highly common and can cause similar symptoms, including pain or burning during urination, abnormal genital discharge, and pain or swelling in the genitals. However, many individuals may not experience symptoms, making routine screening important for sexually active people. Untreated, these infections can lead to serious reproductive and other health problems, including infertility. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, and it's crucial for sexual partners to be treated simultaneously to prevent reinfection.
