4 she has symptoms of hepatitis b, which leads to liver failure in its third stage.

The correct answer is statement 1.

Explanation:

Gonorrhea refers to an infection resulting due to sexually transmitted bacteria, which can infect both females and males. Gonorrhea generally affects the rectum, urethra, or throat. However, in females, gonorrhea can also affect the cervix. The most common cause of the condition is sexual intercourse.  

Some of the signs and symptoms of the infection in women are:  

1. Vaginal bleeding between periods like post-vaginal intercourse.  

2. Enhanced discharge from the vagina and painful urination.  

3. Abdominal or pelvic pain and painful intercourse.  

However, if the condition left untreated, then it can result in serious issues like infertility in women. The untreated gonorrhea infection can spread into the fallopian tube and uterus, leading to the pelvic inflammatory disorder that may pose greater threat of pregnancy issues and infertility.
