Were you looking for information about Gonorrhea? Gonerhea is a common misspelling of gonorrhea.
Gonorrhea, a bacterial infection typically transmitted through vaginal, anal, or oral sex, can also be spread from mother to baby during a vaginal delivery. It is caused by a bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae that can grow in warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract, as well as in the urethra in both men and women. Untreated gonorrhea infections can develop into other health problems, such as epididymitis and pelvic inflammatory disease (both of which can lead to infertility).
