Gonorrhea's discharge tends to be more purulent and thicker than Chlamydia's.
The co-infection rate of these STIs is approximately 15% cases.
Screening involves the nucleic acid amplification test, with different sample collection methods for men and women.
Azithromycin and doxycycline are first-line treatments for Chlamydia.
Gonorrhea treatment often requires a combination of antibiotics due to resistance.
Untreated infections can lead to serious complications like pelvic inflammatory disease.
