1. Gonorrhea
 Gonorrhea is an infection caused by a sexually
transmitted bacterium(Neisseria gonorrhoeae)
 that can infect both males and females. Gonorrhea
most often affects the urethra, rectum or throat. In
females, gonorrhea can also infect the cervix.
 Gonorrhea is most commonly spread during sex. But
babies can be infected during childbirth if their
mothers are infected. In babies, gonorrhea most
commonly affects the eyes.
 Gonorrhea is a common infection that, in many
cases, causes no symptoms. You may not even know
that you're infected.

2. Gonorrhea affecting the genital tract
• Symptoms
• Signs and symptoms of gonorrhea infection in men include:
• Painful urination
• Pus-like discharge from the tip of the penis
• Pain or swelling in one testicle
• Signs and symptoms of gonorrhea infection in women
include:
• Increased vaginal discharge
• Painful urination
• Vaginal bleeding between periods, such as after vaginal
intercourse
• Painful intercourse
• Abdominal or pelvic pain

3. Gonorrhea can also affect these parts
of the body:
• Rectum. Signs and symptoms include anal itching, pus-like
discharge from the rectum, spots of bright red blood on toilet
tissue and having to strain during bowel movements.
• Eyes. Gonorrhea that affects your eyes may cause eye pain,
sensitivity to light, and pus-like discharge from one or both
eyes.
• Throat. Signs and symptoms of a throat infection may include
a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes in the neck.
• Joints. If one or more joints become infected by bacteria
(septic arthritis), the affected joints may be warm, red,
swollen and extremely painful, especially when you move an
affected joint.

4. Factors that may increase your risk of gonorrhea
infection include:
• Younger age
• A new sex partner
• A sex partner who has concurrent partners
• Multiple sex partners
• Previous gonorrhea diagnosis
• Having other sexually transmitted infections

5. Prevention
• Take steps to reduce your risk of gonorrhea:
• Use a condom if you choose to have sex. Abstaining from sex
is the surest way to prevent gonorrhea. .
• Ask your partner to be tested for sexually transmitted
infections. Find out whether your partner has been tested for
sexually transmitted infections, including gonorrhea.
• Don't have sex with someone who has any unusual
symptoms. If your partner has signs or symptoms of a sexually
transmitted infection.

6. • Consider regular gonorrhea screening. Annual screening is
recommended for all sexually active women less than 25 years
of age and for older women at increased risk of infection
such as those who have a new sex partner, more than one sex
partner, a sex partner with concurrent partners, or a sex partner
who has a sexually transmitted infection.
• Regular screening is also recommended for men who have sex
with men, as well as their partners.

7. Untreated gonorrhea can lead to significant
complications, such as:
• Infertility in women. Untreated gonorrhea can spread into the
uterus and fallopian tubes, causing pelvic inflammatory disease
(PID), which may result in scarring of the tubes, greater risk of
pregnancy complications and infertility. PID is a serious infection
that requires immediate treatment.
• Infertility in men. Men with untreated gonorrhea can
experience epididymitis — inflammation of a small, coiled tube
in the rear portion of the testicles where the sperm ducts are
located (epididymis). Epididymitis is treatable, but if left
untreated, it may lead to infertility.

8. • Infection that spreads to the joints and other areas of your
body. The bacterium that causes gonorrhea can spread
through the bloodstream and infect other parts of your body,
including your joints. Fever, rash, skin sores, joint pain,
swelling and stiffness are possible results.
• Increased risk of HIV/AIDS. Having gonorrhea makes you
more susceptible to infection with human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV), the virus that leads to AIDS. People who have both
gonorrhea and HIV are able to pass both diseases more
readily to their partners.
• Complications in babies. Babies who contract gonorrhea from
their mothers during birth can develop blindness, sores on the
scalp and infections.
