Find Peace of Mind with Our Confidential, Judgment-Free Medical Care
Dealing with a possible gonorrhoea infection can be stressful, but you are not alone. Our medical team provides quick and evidence-based treatment with medical confidentiality so you can recover comfortably and confidently.
Understanding Gonorrhoea
- 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.
Signs and Symptoms of Gonorrhoea
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:
A burning sensation while urinating
Greater frequency or urgency of urination
A pus-like discharge from the genitals
Swelling or redness of the penis and testicles
Pain during sexual intercourse (in women)
Sharp lower-abdominal pain (in women)
General irritation around the vaginal area
Increased vaginal discharge or bleeding between periods
Fever
Rectal itching, discharge, bleeding, or painful bowel movements (after anal sex)
Who Should Get Tested
Testing is recommended for individuals who:
Are sexually active
Have had unprotected sex
Have multiple sexual partners
Are starting a new relationship
Display common symptoms
Have had sexual exposure even if asymptomatic
Even without visible symptoms, early screening helps prevent complications and protects your partner’s health.
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
- 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
