What are the symptoms of gonorrhea?

by Symptom Advice on July 26, 2011

go to the center for disease control website:
cdc.gov/STD/
Some std's like chlamydia and gonorrhea have similar symptoms or asymptomatic the only way to know for sure is to get tested for STD's this can be done at your doctors office, planned parenthood (on their website they have more information too) and your local county health department may have free or reduced cost std testing centers…Just please get tested and see a doctor if you are having any issue…(if you have it you will need treatment)

It depends on the location of the infection (anal, vaginal, penile, oral, ocular/eye). And in fact, MOST people have NO SYMPTOMS or symptoms not recognized to be due to gonorrhea. so, the only way to know for sure is to get tested!!! so, please get tested……..untreated gonorrhea can cause major problems for both men and women!

That being said,

Symptoms of genital tract infection with gonorrhea
