Gonorrhea is a common bacterial infection that can be passed from person to person through vaginal, oral or anal sex.

Men are four times more likely to get treatment resistant gonorrhea than women are, new research reveals.

New researchers at Tufts University have found that men are at far greater risks of catching one of these untreatable variations of gonorrhea according to mailonline.

The sexually transmitted infection behaves very differently in men and women, typically causing clear, visible symptoms in men and none in women.

Once a highly-curable disease, gonorrhea is now resistant to 'nearly every drug used for treatment,' according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Symptoms of gonorrhoea include discharge, bleeding or pain when urinating.

But around one in two women and one in 10 men will not experience any signs, which is why the infection is so easily spread.

It infects the urethra, resulting in white, yellow or green discharge for men. Women typically don't develop symptoms and, even if they do, they are so mild that gonorrhea is often mistaken for a bladder infection.
