He said it was worrisome the level to which youths involved in casual sex in the country, adding the development had led to the high number of youths being infected with gonorrhea.
He further explained that the disease could lead to infertility if not well treated at its initial stage.
Ene noted that it could be treated if only the patient could visit the hospital and avoid self treatment, adding that self medication could lead to more problem in the patient.
He urged further youths to abstain from sex untill they were married, saying that if they could not wait until they were married, they should make sure they use condom.
