Gonorrhea is a common bacterial sexually transmitted infection that can often be successfully treated with appropriate antibiotics when diagnosed early. Timely treatment may help reduce complications and decrease the risk of transmitting the infection to sexual partners.

What Is Gonorrhea?

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It can infect the:

• Urethra
• Rectum
• Throat
• Eyes (less commonly)
• Reproductive tract

Many people develop noticeable symptoms, while others may have no symptoms at all. Because asymptomatic infections are common, testing is recommended after potential exposure, even if you feel well.

Without treatment, gonorrhea may lead to complications involving the reproductive and urinary systems and may increase the risk of transmitting or acquiring other sexually transmitted infections.

Gonorrhea Symptoms

Symptoms may appear several days after exposure, although some individuals experience no symptoms.

Possible symptoms include:

• Burning during urination
• White, yellow, or green penile discharge
• Frequent urination
• Pain during urination
• Testicular discomfort
• Rectal pain or discharge
• Sore throat following oral sexual contact

Because symptoms can resemble those of other sexually transmitted infections, laboratory testing is important before treatment whenever appropriate.

When Should You Get Tested?

Testing may be recommended if you:

• Had unprotected sex
• Have a new sexual partner
• Were informed that a partner has gonorrhea
• Have symptoms of urethritis
• Have multiple sexual partners
• Were previously diagnosed with another STI
• Want routine sexual health screening after possible exposure

Your physician will also consider the timing of exposure because testing accuracy may vary depending on the infection's window period.

Gonorrhea Testing

Accurate diagnosis is essential before treatment.

Depending on your symptoms and possible exposure, testing may include:

Urine Testing

Urine samples are commonly used to detect gonorrhea affecting the urethra.

PCR Testing

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing detects the genetic material of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and is commonly used because of its high analytical sensitivity.

PCR testing may also evaluate for other sexually transmitted infections at the same time when clinically appropriate.

Swab Testing

Swab samples may be collected from:

• Urethra
• Throat
• Rectum
• Genital lesions when indicated

The most appropriate specimen depends on your symptoms and sexual exposure history.

Gonorrhea Treatment

Once gonorrhea has been diagnosed, your physician will recommend treatment according to current medical guidelines.

Treatment may include:

• Injectable antibiotics
• Oral antibiotics when clinically appropriate
• Follow-up evaluation
• Repeat testing when recommended
• Partner notification recommendations
• Advice regarding sexual activity during treatment

Because antibiotic resistance has become an important global health concern, self-treatment and inappropriate antibiotic use should be avoided. Your physician will prescribe treatment based on current recommendations and your individual medical situation.

Partner Management

If gonorrhea is confirmed, your recent sexual partner or partners may also require medical evaluation and treatment.

Partner management helps:

• Prevent reinfection
• Reduce ongoing transmission
• Protect long-term sexual health

Your physician will explain the appropriate recommendations based on your diagnosis.
