Which symptom is NOT associated with Gonorrhea?

Burning sensation during urination
Foul-smelling discharge
Joint pain
Intensified abdominal pain

The correct answer is: Joint pain

Joint pain is not typically associated with gonorrhea as a primary symptom. Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection primarily affecting mucous membranes, leading to symptoms such as a burning sensation during urination and foul-smelling discharge in both men and women. While some cases can lead to more severe complications, such as disseminated gonococcal infection, which may result in joint pain, this is not a common symptom seen in typical presentations of the disease. The other symptoms mentioned are directly related to gonorrhea. A burning sensation during urination arises due to inflammation of the urethra, while foul-smelling discharge can occur from an infection in the reproductive organs. Intensified abdominal pain may occur if the infection spreads, particularly in women, leading to complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease. However, joint pain is not a standard symptom of gonorrhea itself, which is why it is identified as not typically associated with the infection.
