Übersicht

Gonorrhö ist eine Geschlechtskrankheit, die durch das Bakterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae verursacht wird. Zu den Symptomen gehören Schmerzen oder Brennen beim Pinkeln, ungewöhnlicher Ausfluss aus den Genitalien und manchmal Wundsein oder Schwellungen.

Übertragung

You can get gonorrhoea by having unprotected sex (vaginal, anal, or oral) with someone who has the infection.

Symptome

Symptoms of gonorrhoea can include a burning sensation when peeing, unusual discharge from the penis or vagina, and sometimes pain or swelling, but many people don’t have any symptoms at all.

Tests

Gonorrhoea is usually tested by providing a urine sample or a swab from the affected area, like the cervix, throat, or rectum, which is then checked for the infection in a lab.

Behandlung

Gonorrhoea is treated with antibiotics, usually given as an injection and sometimes combined with oral tablets.

Komplikationen

If left untreated, gonorrhoea can lead to serious complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy, infertility, and increased risk of HIV.
