i think that I may have gonorrhea. How long should I wait for treatment? Should I go to an Emergency Room? I've read that it could cause infertility. I would hate it if i were infertile. How long does that take? it's the weekend... and I think I contracted it last Monday. Should I wait till Monday morning or will that risk dire consequences? Prompt answers from learned people with links would be helpful.

I am 26 years old. A girl went down on me (oral sex) last week. We did not have sex, Since then, there has been a 'tingle' of sorts at the end of my penis. No discharge whatsoever, some light pain in my abdomen like a mild version of getting hit in the balls. Some anal itching and fresh blood in stool once. So i'm pretty sure that is what i have. I just want to know if it could cause infertility within a weeks time.

Don't go to the ER, but on Monday I'd seek out your doctor's office, urgent care clinic, student health center, or whatever, to get treated.
You don't say if you're having symptoms or why you think you were infected, but in anycase, it's not something you need to go to an ER to get treated, but don't delay treating it either.
Plenty of great info, fact sheets, etc, at the website below.

Your well being practitioner started you on a prescription for Chlamydia/Gonnorhea without even sorting out you to confirm in case you certainly had them? that's peculiar... it is likewise peculiar which you had a 10 day prescription for doxycycline, while it fairly is oftentimes 2 one hundred mg tabs an afternoon for a week.... besides, the prevalent rule is which you may desire to attend a minimum of a week after being dealt with in the previous having intercourse, yet 2 could be greater secure. If it actual would be unable to attend that long, then you fairly could desire to apply a condom. additionally, if I have been you, i could certainly get examined. you won't even have those STDs wherein case you're dropping a while.

Chlamydia, human papillomavirus (HPV), gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis (multiple strains), and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) — including HIV — can be transmitted through oral sex.
Please visit your nearest Genito-urinary Medicine (GUM) clinic. The service is free and your identity will be kept as confidential.
