Gonorrhea can grow easily in the warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract, including the cervix (opening to the womb), uterus (womb), and fallopian tubes (egg canals) in women, and in the urethra (urine canal) in women and men.

Further research has discovered that when using both oral gemifloxacin and the injection gentamicin is highly affective into treating gonorrhea. Infection should be taken serious for both partners; although there may be no present symptoms, treatment should still be administered. Newborns that are infected should be treated immediately; medication is placed in their eyes after birth to prevent any type of infection entering into babies eyes.
