Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which can cause inflammation and scarring of the reproductive system. Scar tissue in the uterine tubes can prevent the egg from moving through the fallopian tube to the uterus, making it difficult or impossible to get pregnant. Other possible causes of tubal scarring include chlamydia, tuberculosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). However, none of these options are listed as choices.
