are there any symptoms for gonorrhea?

Answer 1

Symptoms


About half of people infected with gonorrhea don't have symptoms. The incubation period—the time from exposure to the bacteria until symptoms develop—is usually 2 to 5 days, but sometimes symptoms may not develop for up to 30 days.

Gonorrhea may not cause symptoms until the infection has spread to other areas of the body. See the What Happens section of this topic.

Symptoms in women
In women, the early symptoms are sometimes so mild that they are mistaken for a bladder infection or vaginal infection. Symptoms may include:

Painful or frequent urination.
Anal itching, pain, bleeding, or discharge.
Abnormal vaginal discharge.
Abnormal vaginal bleeding during or after sex or between periods.
Genital itching.
Irregular menstrual bleeding.
Lower abdominal pain.
Fever and general tiredness.
Swollen and painful glands at the opening of the vagina (Bartholin glands).
Painful sexual intercourse.
Sore throat (rare).
Pinkeye (conjunctivitis) (rare).

Answer 2

Gonorrhoea:
Gonorrhoea is a serious illness caused by an organism called Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
It has an incubation period of only a few days.
Males experience a discharge from the urethra - the tube that carries urine from the bladder and out through the penis - causing painful urination, while females suffer infection of the urethra and cervix.
Women who are infected have a long term risk of serious complications, such as infertility or ectopic pregnancy.
However, it is possible to be infected with gonorrhoea without showing any obvious symptoms.
Women are particularly vulnerable to this asymptomatic form of the disease.
The condition can be treated with antibiotics. However, it is becoming resistant to some drugs.

Answer 3

Symptoms


Sometimes people infected with gonorrhea may show no symptoms for months. Generally, the symptoms appear in ten days of contact. Most of the women get very mild or insignificant symptoms that they may not know about their disease. In women who show symptoms, the typical symptoms are- increased vaginal discharge, burning or painful urination, and vaginal discharge between regular menstruations. In men, the symptoms appear as - irritating and painful urination, and discharge from penis. Even if you have no signs of any symptom, if you find out that your partner has contacted gonorrhea, you should also get checked immediately. all about gonorrhea-

Answer 4

Yes, a greenish discharge from the penis or vagina may be apparent. A burning when urinating can be another. You could also be asymptomatic (no symptoms). Gonorrhea can get into the bloodstream and cause an infection in another part of the body like a hand or foot.

Answer 5

Symptoms in Women

female genitals showing symptoms of gonorrhoeaBetween 30-60% of women with gonorrhoea are asymptomatic or subclinical.[1] The patient may complain of vaginal discharge, difficulty urinating (dysuria), off-cycle menstrual bleeding, or bleeding after sexual intercourse. The cervix may appear anywhere from normal to the extreme of marked cervical inflamation (cervicitis) with pus. Infection of the urethra (urethritis) causes little dysuria or pus. The combination of urethritis and cervicitis on examination strongly supports a gonorrhoea diagnosis, as both sites are infected in most gonorrhoea patients.

More advanced symptoms, which may indicate development of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), include cramps and pain, bleeding between menstrual periods, vomiting, or fever.

Symptoms in Men

male genitals showing symptoms of gonorrhoeaIn male patients, difficulty urinating accompanied by thick, copious, urethral pus discharge (colloquially known as gleet) is the most common presentation. Examination may show a reddened external urethral meatus. Without effective treatment, ascending infection could extend to the epididymis, testicles or prostate gland causing symptoms such as scrotal pain or swelling.

The fact sheet from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states, "Many men with gonorrhea may have no symptoms at all, some men have some signs or symptoms that appear two to five days after infection; symptoms can take as long as 30 days to appear. Symptoms and signs include a burning sensation when urinating, or a white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis. Sometimes men with gonorrhea get painful or swollen testicles."
