What is Gonorrhoea?

Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It mainly affects warm, moist areas of the body.

What parts of the body can it infect?

It commonly infects:

• Genitals (penis and vagina)
• Cervix (in women)
• Rectum (anus)
• Throat (from oral sex)
• Eyes (rare, usually in newborns)

How do you catch gonorrhoea?

You can get gonorrhoea through unprotected sexual contact with someone who has it, including:

• Vaginal sex
• Anal sex
• Oral sex
• Sharing sex toys (if not cleaned/covered)

It spreads through sexual fluids, not through casual contact.

You cannot catch it from:

• Hugging
• Kissing
• Sharing toilets
• Towels or cutlery

Symptoms

Some people have no symptoms, especially women.

Common symptoms include:

In men:

• Thick yellow/green discharge from the penis
• Pain when urinating
• Testicle pain (less common)

In women:

• Increased vaginal discharge
• Pain when urinating
• Bleeding between periods
• Lower tummy pain

Rectal infection:

• Pain, itching, discharge, or bleeding

Throat infection:

• Often no symptoms
• Sometimes sore throat

Is it treatable?

Yes. Gonorrhoea is usually curable with antibiotics, but it’s important to get treated early because some strains are becoming resistant.

If untreated, it can cause:

• Fertility problems
• Pelvic inflammatory disease (in women)
• Increased risk of HIV
• Joint infections (rare)

How to prevent it

• Use condoms for vaginal, anal, and oral sex
• Get regular STI testing
• Avoid sharing sex toys (or clean them properly)
• Make sure partners are tested

Gonorrhoea is a bacterial Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI).  Someone with Gonorrhoea has an increased risk of getting other STIs, including HIV.  Gonorrhoea is one of the fastest growing STIs in the UK and, like Chlamydia, may present with no symptoms.

Gonorrhoea is also included in our combined STI multiple tests.

Gonorrhoea is an important and preventable causes of infertility. If left untreated, Gonorrhoea in women can lead to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) which can lead to infertility and potentially fatal tubal (ectopic) pregnancy, whilst in men it can cause inflammation of the testicles and prostate.

Women who have Gonorrhoea during pregnancy tend to have higher rates of miscarriage, infection, preterm birth, and Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (PPROM). Gonorrhoea can be transmitted from mother to child during birth and newborn children can develop Gonorrhoea, most commonly in the eyes which may lead to blindness.
