Staying Safe From Gonorrhea - Symptoms And Treatment by ikbnice(m): 4:29pm On Sep 08, 2016
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease
(STD) that affects both men and women. It
can cause infections in the genitals, rectum,
throat and you can contact gonorrhea by
having vaginal, anal, or MouthAction with someone
who is infected. A pregnant woman with
gonorrhea can also infect her baby during
childbirth.

Symptoms:
Some men with gonorrhea may have no
symptoms at all. However, men who do have
symptoms, may have burning sensation when
urinating, white, yellow, or green discharge
from the penis, painful or swollen testicles
(although this is less common).
Most women with gonorrhea do not have any
symptoms. Even when a woman has
symptoms, they are often mild and can be
mistaken for a bladder or vaginal infection.
Women with gonorrhea are at risk of
developing serious complications from the
infection, even if they don’t have any
symptoms.

Some symptoms in women can include painful
or burning sensation when urinating, increased
vaginal discharge, and vaginal bleeding
between periods.
You should be examined by your doctor if you
notice any of these symptoms or if your
partner has an STD or symptoms of an STD, as
this can help diagnose early
.


How will my doctor know if I have gonorrhea?
Most of the time, urine can be used to test for
gonorrhea. However, if you have had oral and/
or anal sex, swabs may be used to collect
samples from your throat and/or rectum. In
some cases, a swab may be used to collect a
sample from a man’s urethra (urine canal) or
a woman’s cervix (opening to the womb).

Can gonorrhea be cured?
Yes, gonorrhea can be cured with the right
treatment. It is important that you take all of
the medication your doctor prescribes to cure
your infection. Although medication will stop
the infection, it will not undo any permanent
damage caused by the disease. In women,
untreated gonorrhea can cause pelvic
inflammatory disease (PID).
