Some men with gonorrhea may have not any symptoms in the least. However, men who do have symptoms may have:

• A burning sensation when urinating;
• A yellow, green, or white discharge from the penis;
• Painful or swollen testicles (although this is often less common).

Most women with gonorrhea do not have any symptoms. Even when a lady has symptoms, they are often mild and may be mistaken for a bladder or vaginal infection. Women with gonorrhea are in danger of developing serious complications from the infection, albeit they do not have any symptoms.

Symptoms in women can include:

• Painful or burning sensation when urinating;
• Increased vaginal discharge;
• Vaginal bleeding between periods.

Rectal infections may either cause no symptoms or cause symptoms in both men and ladies, which will include:

• Discharge;
• Anal itching;
• Soreness;
• Bleeding;
• Painful bowel movements.

I was just diagnosed. What do I do now?

You should be examined by your doctor if you notice any of those symptoms or if your partner has an STD or symptoms of an STD, like an unusual sore, bleeding between periods, burning when urinating, or a smelly discharge

In some cases, a swab could also be wont 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 is often cured with the proper treatment. You must take all of the medication your doctor prescribes to cure your infection. Medication for gonorrhea should not be shared with anyone.

Antibiotic-Resistant Gonorrhea

It is becoming harder to treat some gonorrhea, as drug-resistant strains of gonorrhea are increasing. If your symptoms continue for quite a couple of days after receiving treatment, you should return to a health care provider to be rechecked.

I was treated for gonorrhea. When am I able to roll in the hay again?

You should wait seven days after finishing all medications before having sex. To avoid getting infected with gonorrhea again or spreading gonorrhea to your partner(s), you and your sex partner(s) should avoid having sex until you have got each completed treatment. If you have had gonorrhea and took medicine within the past, you will still get infected again if you have got unprotected sex with an individual who has gonorrhea.
