While anyone can become infected with gonorrhea, people between the ages of 15 and 29 are responsible for 75% of the reported cases. Women between the ages of 15 and 19 and men between the ages of 20 and 24 are the most at risk of becoming infected with gonorrhea.

Infection can show up in the genital tract, mouth or rectum. Symptoms : Once infected, symptoms of gonorrhea can take between two and ten days to show up. In women, the cervix is usually the first site of infection. From there, the infection moves up into the uterus and into the fallopian tubes. Women are much more likely than men to be asymptomatic. If they do develop symptoms, they are likely to include: bleeding after sex, pain or burning sensation when urinating, need to urinate more frequently, vaginal discharge that is yellow or bloody, cramps, bleeding between periods, nausea or vomiting and fever. In men, gonorrhea symptoms include a puss discharge from the penis (white, yellow or green in color) accompanied by pain, burning sensation when urinating and swollen testicles.

United States Naval Flight Surgeon's Manual: Third Edition 1991: Chapter 11: Sexually Transmitted Diseases Gonorrhea Naval Aerospace Medical Institute Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Introduction The spectrum of disease is far greater than simple "clap." Overall, up to 10 percent of men may have asymptomatic infections. Women seen in family practice and VD clinics are typically asymptomatic, but up to 90 percent of women hospitalized for gonorrhea have symptoms. However, these are typically mild and nonspecific (vaginal discharge, itching, dysuria); too often dismissed as cystitis or vaginitis. If thinking of gonorrhea, culture. Treatment Treatment regimens may be found in Appendix A. Urethritis Urethritis is the most common gonococcal disease. It occurs after two to eight days incubation, although occasionally as long as 18 days are required. Most cases have abrupt onset, severe dysuria, and copious purulent discharge, but mild cases occur and may mimic nongonococcal urethritis (NGU). Gram stain is positive in 85 percent of cases in men, and the presence of gram negative diplococci (GNDC) is essentially diagnostic. (The old requirement, that the GNDC be intracellular, has little validity and should be discarded). Ideally, four hours should have elapsed since the patient last urinated. Advantages of pretreatment cultures: 1. No need to obtain a repeat specimen (for culture) if the Gram stain is nondiagnostic.

Encyclopedia (English) Toggle English Spanish Gonorrhea - female Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (commonly known as "the clap") caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhea . See also gonorrhea - male Alternative Names: The clap - female Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Gonorrhea is one of the most common infectious bacterial diseases and is most frequently transmitted during sexual activity, including vaginal intercourse and both oral and anal sex. Gonorrhea is a reportable disease and all state governments require that cases of diagnosed gonorrhea be reported to the health authorities (State Board of Health). This allows for adequate follow-up and testing of sexual contacts. There are almost 400,000 cases of gonorrhea reported to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) each year in the United States. There are probably many cases that are treated but not reported. The total number of cases is thought to approach 1,000,000; if unreported cases are included, some estimates reach 2,000,000. A rate of 400,000 cases per year means that 1 out of every 687 Americans has gonorrhea. A rate of 2 million means that 1 in every 130 Americans are infected. Gonorrhea is more common in large metropolitan areas, inner-city areas, populations with lower overall levels of education and people with lower socioeconomic status. Gonorrhea is most prevalent in people 15 to 29 years old. Risk factors include having multiple sexual partners, having a partner with a past history of any STD, and having unprotected sex (sex without the use of a condom).

Gonorrhea Description Gonorrhea is a bacterial disease that generally affects the genital organs. It is transmitted from person to person by intimate physical contact with the sex organs or the rectum of an infected person. The infection may also be present in the throat and can be transmitted orally. If left untreated, gonorrhea can cause abdominal, joint, bloodstream, and eye infections. Symptoms Men who have genital gonorrhea will usually notice a burning pain when urinating. There is often a discharge of pus from the penis. These symptoms generally appear two to six days after contact with an infected person, but the symptoms may be delayed as long as 30 days after infection. A considerable number of men who contract gonorrhea experience no apparent symptoms. Most women with genital gonorrhea do not notice obvious symptoms such as burning during urination or increased vaginal discharge. Both men and women may have rectal irritation, and discharge may occur. Gonorrhea infection of the throat may result in a sore throat, or slight hoarseness. A presumptive diagnosis of gonorrhea can be established by a simple smear test if the infection is present in the male urethra. Gonorrhea in the female genital organs, or in the male or female rectum or the throat is confirmed by laboratory culture tests.

More Emergency Medicine Resources Back to table of contents 7.05 Gonorrhea (Clap) Presentation A young man may present with symptoms of urethritis (dysuria, discharge), or perhaps prostatitis (low back pain) or epididymitis (scrotal pain). A young woman may have cervicitis or pelvic infection (low abdominal pain, dysuria, discharge). Both sexes may present with gonococcal proctitis (rectal pain, rectal discharge, tenesmus) or pharyngitis. What to do: Obtain a sexual history and look for rash, arthritis, tenosynovitis, perihepatitis, or pain on moving the cervix. These are signs of disseminated infection, which may require a longer course of treatment or hospital admission. Gram stain any discharge or exudate and examine for gram- negative diplococci ingested by polymorphonuclear leukocytes, which corroborate the diagnosis of gonorrhea (their absence does not rule out the possibility). Culture the throat, urethra, cervix, anuswherever the patient is symptomatic or exposed, according to the history. To avoid killing the organism, use a special transport medium or plate immediately on room-temperature Thayer-Martin medium which will be incubated soon. With female patients send a urine or blood test to rule out pregnancy.
