Why is a male more likely than a female to seek treatment for chlamydia and gonorrhea?

What will be an ideal response?


In males, the most common site of infection is the urethra, and the symptoms are noticeable, including burning during urination. In females, the pelvic organs are most commonly infected, and these infections are less likely to produce symptoms. Because males are more likely than females to experience noticeable symptoms, they are more likely to seek diagnosis and treatment.
