Can gonorrhea be transmitted to children?

Gonorrhea, if untreated, is likely to be transmitted to children. First of all, newborns, if the mother has gonorrhea, then the newborn delivery, after passing through the gonorrhea mother's birth canal, may be infected with the eyes, resulting in neonatal gonorrhea ophthalmia. If children, especially young girls, because their urethra, reproductive tract short, epithelial cell development is not complete, so more easily infected. Most of them are because of close contact with parents suffering from gonorrhea, or appliances in public bathrooms, such as towels, tubs, toilets, etc., which are easily infected, causing diffuse vaginitis and vulvitis, and sometimes involving anal and rectal parts, so be sure to pay attention.
