Gonorrhea Symptoms, Testing, Treatment, and Risks

Stdhelpcenter16 Oct, 2024Health

Gonorrhea, like other sexually transmitted infections, usually produces no symptoms, especially in women. Even when symptoms occur, the signs of the disease can vary between men and women: Gonorrhea also causes infection in other parts of the body such as the rectum, throat, and eyes. Rectal infection may cause patients to have those signs and symptoms like discharge, anal itching and soreness, discharge, bleeding during bowel movements, or painful defecation. Throat gonorrhea causes no symptom at all or only a sore throat, while gonorrhea infection in the eyes may provoke eye pain, sensitivity to light, and pus-like eye discharge from one or both the eyes.
