Gonorrhea of the throat . . . from oral sex?



I know that from oral sex, a person can get Gonorrhea in their throat, but what are the usual symptoms of this? And does it hurt a lot?

People I've treated didn't really have sore throats the way you have a sore throat when you have an upper airway infection or strep. They have throat irritation that doesn't go away. You need a special throat culture to check for GC of the throat.

About half of people infected with gonorrhea don't have symptoms. The incubation period-the time from exposure to the bacteria until symptoms develop-is usually 2 to 5 days, but sometimes symptoms may not develop for up to 30 days.

Gonorrhea may not cause symptoms until the infection has spread to other areas of the body. See the What Happens section of this topic.

Symptoms in women
In women, the early symptoms are sometimes so mild that they are mistaken for a bladder infection or vaginal infection. Symptoms may include:

Painful or frequent urination.
Anal itching, pain, bleeding, or discharge.
Abnormal vaginal discharge.
Abnormal vaginal bleeding during or after sex or between periods.
Genital itching.
Irregular menstrual bleeding.
Lower abdominal pain.
Fever and general tiredness.
Swollen and painful glands at the opening of the vagina (Bartholin glands).
Painful sexual intercourse.
Sore throat (rare).
Pinkeye (conjunctivitis) (rare).
Symptoms in men
In men, symptoms are usually serious enough that they will cause a man to seek medical treatment before complications occur. However, some men have mild or no symptoms and may unknowingly transmit gonorrhea infections to their sex partners. Symptoms may include:

Abnormal discharge from the penis (clear or milky at first, and then yellow, creamy, and excessive, sometimes blood-tinged).
Painful or frequent urination.
Anal itching, pain, bleeding, or discharge.
Sore throat (rare).
Pinkeye (conjunctivitis) (rare).
Symptoms of gonorrhea that has spread to sites other than the genitals (disseminated gonococcal infection) include:

Rash.
Joint pain or arthritis.
Inflamed tendons.
it can cause a sore throat - just like other sore throats....
A really sore throat, the doc will take a swab to test.
