STD SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Signs and symptoms
Symptoms of infection may show up at anytime between 1 and 14 days after exposure. It is possible to be infected with gonorrhoea and have no symptoms. Men are far more likely to notice symptoms than women.
Women
Symptoms of gonorrhoea can include:
a change in vaginal discharge. This may increase, change to a yellow or greenish colour and develop a strong smell
a pain or burning sensation when passing urine
irritation and/or discharge from the anus.
Men
Symptoms may include:
a yellow or white discharge from the penis
irritation and/or discharge from the anus
inflammation of the testicles and prostate gland.
How gonorrhoea is passed on
by penetrative sex (when the penis enters the vagina, mouth, or anus)
and less often by:
rimming (where a person uses their mouth and tongue to stimulate another person's anus)
inserting your fingers into an infected vagina, anus or mouth and then putting them into your own without washing your hands in between
