Putting on a female condom What is gonorrhea? Gonorrhea is a disease caused by germs or bacteria. The infection is usually found at the opening of the uterus, or in the tube that carries urine from the bladder. It can also infect the rectum, throat, and pelvic organs. To find out if you have gonorrhea, you must be examined by a doctor or nurse and have tests taken. How is it spread? Gonorrhea can be spread easily from one infected person to another by having unprotected sex - not using a condom - with someone who has this disease. Gonorrhea can be spread at any time while a person is infected, whether or not he or she has symptoms. A person can still become infected again in the future even if the person and infection are treated. What are the symptoms? In some cases there are no symptoms, and a person can have gonorrhea and not know it. When symptoms develop, they usually occur two to five days after the person becomes infected, but may not appear for up to thirty days. Women may notice a change in the amount and colour of fluid from the vagina, pain while urinating, and/or unusual menstrual bleeding. Men may notice a creamy white or yellow fluid from the penis and a burning feeling while urinating. In both men and women, a gonorrhea infection in the rectum may cause itching, pain, bleeding, or a stringy white fluid when having a bowel movement. Gonorrhea infections in the throat may cause a sore throat.

What are the symptoms of gonorrhea? ... Gonorrhea In Women At A Glance What are sexually transmitted infections? In this article, the terms "sexually transmitted infections" and "STIs" are replacing the outdated terminology "sexually transmitted diseases" and "STDs." Sexually transmitted infections (STIs, formerly sexually transmitted diseases or STDs) are infections that can be transferred from one person to another through sexual contact. Sexually transmitted infections have probably been around for thousands of years, but the most worrisome, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or AIDS, has only been recognized since 1984. It is important to realize that sexual contact includes more than just sexual intercourse (vaginal and anal). Sexual contact includes kissing, oral-genital contact, and the use of sexual "toys," such as vibrators. Most STIs are treatable. However, even the once easily cured gonorrhea has become resistant to many of the older traditional antibiotics. Other STIs, such as herpes, AIDS, and genital warts (all of which are caused by viruses), have no cure. These infections can be silent, causing no symptoms, or they can cause a spectrum of mild to severe symptoms, even death. Syphilis, AIDS, genital warts, herpes, hepatitis, and even gonorrhea have all been known to cause death. Therefore, a public awareness and education about these infections and the methods of preventing them is important.

A few percent of infected men have no symptoms. The infection may move into the prostate, seminal vesicles, and epididymis, causing pain and fever. Untreated, gonorrhea can lead to sterility. Less than half the women with gonorrhea show any symptoms, or symptoms so mild they just ignore. Early symptoms include a discharge from the vagina, some discomfort in the lower abdomen, irritation of the genitals, pain or burning during urination and some abnormal bleeding.
