Is a burning sensation while urinating sign of gonorrhea?

Yes, burning or painful sensation while urinating (dysuria) is a common symptom of gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium *Neisseria gonorrhea*. Other symptoms may include:

- A white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis in males or from the vagina in females

- Frequent or urgent need to urinate

- Pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen or pelvis

- Swollen or tender lymph nodes in the groin area

- Fever

- Joint pain or swelling

However, it's important to note that not all people with gonorrhea experience these symptoms. Some people may have mild or no symptoms at all, especially in the early stages of the infection. Therefore, it's crucial to get tested for STIs, including gonorrhea, if you have any concerns about potential exposure or if you experience any of these symptoms.
