Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrheoae. Gonorrhea affects both men and women and can infect the cervix, urethra, rectum, anus and throat. Gonorrhea is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and the global gonorrhea statistics show that an estimated 62 million cases of gonorrhea occur each year, affecting more women than men. Gonorrhea is easily curable but if left untreated it can cause serious health problems such as pelvic inflammatory disease(PID), which can lead to abdominal pain and ectopic pregnancy in women. Untreated, gonorrhea can also lead to infertility, meningitis and septicaemia.<\/p>\n
Symptoms of gonorrhea infection may appear 1 to 14 days after exposure, although it is possible to be infected with gonorrhea and have no symptoms. Men are far more likely to notice symptoms as they are more apparent. It is estimated that nearly half of the women who become infected with gonorrhea experience no symptoms, or have non-specific symptoms such as a bladder infection.<\/p>\n
MEN<\/b><\/p>\n
A white or yellow discharge from the penis.<\/p>\n
A burning sensation or pain whilst passing urine.<\/p>\n
Irritation and\/or discharge from the anus.<\/p>\n
WOMEN<\/b><\/p>\n
A change in vaginal discharge; it may appear in abundance, change to a yellow or greenish colour, and develop a strong smell.<\/p>\n

MEN<\/strong><\/p>\n Gonorrhea can cause painful inflammation of the testicles and the prostate gland, potentially leading to epididymitus, which can cause infertility. WOMEN<\/strong><\/p>\n Gonorrhea can cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), an inflammation of the fallopian tubes (the tubes along which an egg passes to get to the womb), which increases the future risk of ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside the womb) or premature birth. Vaginal sex<\/p>\n Anal sex<\/p>\n Oral sex \u2013 oral sex can either transmit gonorrhea from the genitals to the throat of the person giving the stimulation, or it can pass an infection from the throat to the genitals of the person receiving stimulation. If you have any symptoms or you are worried you may have been infected with gonorrhea, you should discuss your worries with a doctor. They may be able to run tests or offer you treatment themselves, or else will refer you to someone who can.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" GONORRHEA Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrheoae.
