The Symptoms of Gonorrhoea
Overview
Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It is commonly known as 'the clap'. Gonorrhoea can infect both men and women and is readily transmitted through sexual contact. Understanding the symptoms of gonorrhoea is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment, especially considering the potential complications if left untreated.
Symptoms in Men
Men infected with gonorrhoea often experience symptoms within a couple of weeks of exposure. Common symptoms include:
- Urethral Discharge: A white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis is one of the hallmark signs. This discharge may be accompanied by discomfort or pain.
- Testicular Pain: Swelling and pain in one or both testicles may also be present. This can be an indication of complications and warrants immediate medical attention.
- Burning Sensation: Painful or burning sensations during urination are common, often indicating an infection in the urethra (urethritis).
- Frequent Urination: An increased urge to urinate, even if only small amounts are passed, can be noticed.
Symptoms in Women
In women, the symptoms of gonorrhoea can be more subtle and often mimic other infections, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs). They include:
- Vaginal Discharge: An unusual increase in vaginal discharge might occur. The discharge may be watery, creamy, or slightly green.
- Pelvic Pain: Pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis, which can be mistaken for menstrual cramps, is a possible symptom.
- Painful Urination: Much like in men, women may experience a burning sensation when urinating.
- Bleeding: Intermenstrual bleeding or spotting, especially after sexual intercourse, can occur.
Symptoms in Throat and Rectum
Gonorrhoea can also affect the throat and rectum if exposed to the bacteria. Symptoms in these regions include:
- Throat: A sore throat, often mild and easily mistaken for other causes like a common cold or streptococcal infection.
- Rectum: Symptoms such as discharge, anal itching, soreness, bleeding, or painful bowel movements can occur in those who have engaged in receptive anal intercourse.
Importance of Early Diagnosis
Early detection and treatment of gonorrhoea are vital to prevent complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, epididymitis in men, and the possible spread of the infection to the blood or joints, leading to more severe health issues. If you suspect you have symptoms of gonorrhoea, it is important to seek medical advice and testing promptly.
In the United Kingdom, services such as the NHS Sexual Health Clinics offer confidential testing and treatment for gonorrhoea and other STIs. Using protection and having regular sexual health check-ups are effective ways to prevent the spread of this infection.
The Symptoms of Gonorrhoea
Overview
Gonorrhoea is an infection you can get from sexual contact. It is caused by a germ called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. People often call it 'the clap'. Both men and women can catch it. Knowing what symptoms to look for helps you get treatment quickly and prevents problems if it’s not treated.
Symptoms in Men
Men usually notice signs of gonorrhoea a few weeks after catching it. Look out for these symptoms:
- Urethral Discharge: You might see white, yellow, or green liquid coming from your penis. It can hurt too.
- Testicular Pain: Your testicles might swell or hurt. This needs a doctor’s help right away.
- Burning Sensation: It might sting when you pee.
- Frequent Urination: You might feel like you need to pee often, even if not much comes out.
Symptoms in Women
For women, gonorrhoea symptoms can look like other problems, like a bladder infection. Watch for these signs:
- Vaginal Discharge: You might have more discharge than usual. It can be watery, creamy, or a little green.
- Pelvic Pain: You might feel pain in your lower belly. It might feel like period cramps.
- Painful Urination: Like men, you might feel a burn when you pee.
- Bleeding: You might notice some bleeding between your periods or after sex.
Symptoms in Throat and Rectum
Gonorrhoea can also be in your throat or bottom if exposed to the germs. Symptoms include:
- Throat: You might have a sore throat that feels like a cold.
- Rectum: You might notice pain, itching, or bleeding in your bottom if you've had anal sex.
Importance of Early Diagnosis
Finding gonorrhoea early and getting treatment can stop serious problems like pelvic disease in women or swelling in men. If you think you have any symptoms, it’s important to see a doctor quickly.
In the UK, places like NHS Sexual Health Clinics can test and treat you in private. Using protection during sex and having regular health check-ups can help stop infections like this from spreading.
