Short answer

Gonorrhoea may cause discharge, painful urination or pelvic symptoms, but many people have no noticeable symptoms.

This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

What it means

Symptoms depend on the site: genital discharge, burning urine, bleeding or lower abdominal or testicular pain; rectal soreness or discharge; throat symptoms or none. These features are not specific.

What to do next

Arrange STI Screening after symptoms or relevant exposure and mention every type of contact. Samples may be needed from more than one site. Avoid sex until advised and take prescribed antibiotic treatment as directed.

When to seek care

Seek urgent care for severe abdominal or testicular pain, fever with worsening pelvic symptoms, painful red eyes with discharge or difficulty passing urine.

Questions for your doctor

Ask which sites need testing, whether other STI tests are recommended, when results are expected and when sex can resume.
