KidsHealth Parents Infections Sexually Transmitted Diseases Signs and Symptoms: Gonococcal infections are considered sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), though not every case of gonorrhea is transmitted by sex. The signs and symptoms associated with a gonoccocal infection generally involve the reproductive organs (sex organs or genitals). To a great degree, the signs of gonococcal (GC) infections depend on how the infection was transmitted. One vitally important thing to remember: many times a gonococcal infection does not show any signs, especially in females. When there are symptoms, two of the most common ones are painful urination (more common in men) and a cloudy discharge from the penis or vagina. This discharge may be thick and may have a greenish-yellow color. Many males who have gonorrhea have few or no symptoms. Again, it is quite possible to have a gonococcal infection and have no pain or discharge. In women, gonococcal infections may cause no symptoms at all. There may be pain or burning on urination. Less commonly, there may be lower abdominal pain, painful intercourse, and abnormal bleeding from the vagina. In either sex, when a gonococcal infection affects the rectum, there can be rectal pain, especially during a bowel movement. When a gonococcal infection affects the throat, the throat may be sore.

This is likely due to weakening of the mucosal surface secondary to the gonorrhea infection. Note, however, that this effect is by no means limited to gonorrhea and there is increased risk of HIV transmission with co-infection of most sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The first place this bacterium infects is usually the columnar epithelium of the urethra and endocervix . Non-genital sites in which it thrives are the rectum , the oropharynx and the conjunctivae eyes ). The vulva and vagina in women are usually spared because they are lined by

Sex is a normal and healthy part of our lives How to know if you have an infection What are my chances of catching an STI? No STI for me! ... Where to go for help GONORRHEA You may have heard of this STI by other names such as "the clap" or "a dose." Gonorrhea is a common STI which, if not treated early, can cause serious health problems, especially for women. Gonorrhea in women left untreated could lead to a painful, long-term condition called PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) and infertility (the inability to have children). A pregnant woman can pass gonorrhea to her baby during birth, and cause a serious eye infection or blindness. You can get gonorrhea from oral, vaginal and anal sex. The symptoms and signs If you catch gonorrhea from having sex with an infected partner, you might not notice any symptoms. If you do, they will appear three to five days after sex. Even if you don't have symptoms, you can have gonorrhea and you can pass it on to others. What to look for Females: new or different discharge from the vagina a burning feeling when urinating pain in the lower abdomen fever and chills pain during sex vaginal bleeding between periods vaginal bleeding after intercourse possible rectal pain rectal discharge Males: discharge from the penis, may be thick and yellow-green in colour

Sexual Health and Sexually Transmitted Infections What's New STI Outbreak News STI Helpline Numbers ... STI : Gonorrhea Sexual Health and Sexually Transmitted Infections Gonorrhea resurgence in Canada: Gonorrhea: Facts, Info and FAQs Gonorrhea is a bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) that affects both men and women. Gonorrhea used to be called "the clap", and it is treatable, often with a single dose of antibiotics. Some strains of the bacteria have become resistant to standard antibiotics. Treating patients with gonorrhea will become more difficult if resistant strains continue to increase. If left untreated, gonorrhea can cause serious complications including pelvic inflammatory disease in women and infertility for both sexes. In the 1980s and early 1990s, the rate of gonorrhea in Canada went down steadily. Part of this change might have been because people changed their sexual practices due to increased awareness of the threat of HIV/AIDS. Correct and consistent use of condoms is an effective way of preventing both HIV and gonorrhea transmission, but individuals at risk may be experiencing 'condom fatigue'. After reaching an all-time low in 1997, gonorrhea rates began to climb. This reversal signals another important shift in sexual behaviour: younger people may believe that HIV is no longer the death sentence that it was in the 1980s, and are having unprotected sex that increases their risk of gonorrhea and other STIs.

Guide to Clinical Preventive Services, Second Edition Infectious Diseases Screening for Gonorrhea Including Ocular Prophylaxis in Newborns RECOMMENDATION Routine screening for Neisseria gonorrhoeae is recommended for asymptomatic women at high risk of infection (see Clinical Intervention). All high-risk women should be screened during pregnancy. There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against screening all pregnant women or screening asymptomatic men. Recommendations to screen selected high-risk young men may be made on other grounds (see Clinical Intervention). Routine screening is not recommended for the general adult population. Ocular antibiotic prophylaxis of all newborn infants is recommended to prevent gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum. Burden of Suffering Up to 80% of women infected with gonorrhea are asymptomatic,12 and asymptomatic men and women comprise an important reservoir for new infection. Nearly half of all male partners of infected women, and over three quarters of female partners of infected men, are infected.13,14 While the majority of infected men eventually develop symptoms, initial asymptomatic periods may last up to 45 days.15 The prevalence of asymptomatic gonorrhea in high-risk communities is generally higher in women (4-5%)16,17 than in men (1.5-2.5%).15,18,19 Asymptomatic gonorrhea was uncommon, however, among women at a university health clinic (0.4%),17 private practice patients in Montreal (0.4%),20 and non- Medicaid patients in Boston (
