How will you know if you have Gonorrhea??? 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Gonorrhea is an infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
The gonorrhea bacteria is often passed from one person to another through sexual contact including oral and/or vaginal intercourse.
Factors that may increase your risk of gonorrhea infection include:
Risk factors
-Younger age
-A new sex partner
-A sex partner who has multiple sex partners
-Previous gonorrhea diagnosis
-Having other sexually transmitted infections
Symptoms
Gonorrhoea symptoms normally appear within 10 days of infection but they can occur many months later. Roughly 10% of men and 50% of women will not experience any symptoms at all.
In women, symptoms include:
-Unusual discharge from the vagina that is thick and green or yellow in colour
-Pain when urinating
-Pain in the lower abdomen
-Bleeding between periods and/or heavy periods
-Bleeding after sex – this is rare.
Men may experience:
-Unusual discharge from the tip of the penis that may be white, yellow or green in colour.
-Pain when urinating
Inflammation or swelling of the foreskin
-Pain in the testicles – this is rare.
