What are symptoms of gonorrhea? |
What are symptoms of gonorrhea? Gonorrhoea is caused by bacteria known as Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It usually affects the genital area, although the throat or anus (back passage) may also be involved. Gonorrhoea affects both men and women and is easily transmitted during vaginal intercourse. It can also be transmitted during anal or oral sex. Gonorrhoea may not cause symptoms in women A lack of specific signs and symptoms means gonorrhoea may go undetected for longer in women. Often there are no symptoms. Sometimes, gonorrhoea causes: An unusual discharge from the vagina Pain while urinating or passing water. Untreated gonorrhoea can lead to infertility in women If left untreated, gonorrhoea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can cause infertility. Symptoms of PID include: Lower abdominal pain and tenderness Deep pain during sexual intercourse Heavy and painful periods Fever. Women who have had PID need to be especially careful about gonorrhoea, because the risk of infertility increases with each bout of inflammation. A check for gonorrhoea may be recommended Because gonorrhoea may not cause symptoms until PID has already developed, sexually active women who have recently had a change of sexual partner or feel they may be at risk of a sexually transmissible infection (STI) should have a test for gonorrhoea (and for chlamydia infection). Men may experience a burning sensation while urinating Gonorrhoea commonly infects the inside of the penis (the urethra). Symptoms may include: A burning sensation while urinating or passing water A white or yellow pus-like discharge from the penis Swelling and pain in the testicles, which can occur if the gonorrhoea infection goes untreated. In a small percentage of men there are no symptoms at all. Source(s): Betterhealth.vic.gov.au Go to this web site it is very informative....
