Gonorrhoea
What's that?
A bacterial infection - spread through oral, vaginal or anal sex.
What are the symptoms?
The problem with this is that the symptoms don't always appear immediately - it can take from between two to ten days to rear it's ugly head - and then symptoms may be so mild you might not notice. It can be painful to urinate for both men and women and a discharge may be result from the penis and vagina. There may be no symptoms at all.
Is there treatment available and what is it?
Yes - it can be treated by a course of penicillin or antibiotics.
Are there long-term effects?
Not if it's dealt with as soon as the symptoms show. If not, then it can spread and cause infertility.
