What are the symptoms of gonorrhea?
Many people have no symptoms of gonorrhea. If there are symptoms, they can take several days to appear. Or it may take several weeks. Symptoms may include:
- Pain when you urinate.
- Abnormal discharge from the penis or vagina.
If it isn't treated, the infection can move into the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries. This is called pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Symptoms can include lower belly pain, pain during sex, vaginal bleeding, and a fever.
You can spread gonorrhea even if you don't have symptoms. You're contagious until you've been treated.
