Understanding Gonorrhoea

Understanding Gonorrhoea

Gonorrhoea is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs)[1]. It is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which grows in areas such as:

  • The cervix, womb, and fallopian tubes in women
  • The urethra in both men and women
  • The mouth, throat, eyes, and anus

Without proper treatment, gonorrhoea can lead to serious long-term complications — but it is effectively treatable with the right medical care.

How Gonorrhoea Spreads

Gonorrhoea spreads through unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal sex with an infected partner.

People with multiple sexual partners or those who do not use condoms during intercourse are at higher risk.

An infected mother can also transmit gonorrhoea to her newborn baby during delivery.

How Gonorrhoea Spreads

Signs and Symptoms of Gonorrhoea

Symptoms usually appear within two to 14 days after infection[1].

In men, signs may appear about a week after exposure. Many individuals with gonorrhoea do not show symptoms, which makes it easy to spread unknowingly.

Symptoms vary depending on exposure, and many people with gonorrhoea are asymptomatic.

Signs and symptoms may include:

Complications if Left Untreated

Untreated gonorrhoea can lead to serious health problems:

For Women:

  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) that damages fallopian tubes
    Increased risk of infertility or ectopic pregnancy
For Men:

  • Epididymitis[2], causing pain and swelling that may lead to infertility

For Both:

  • Infection spread through the bloodstream, affecting joints, brain, and heart
  • Higher risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV, which can progress to AIDS
Complications if Left Untreated
