Symptoms
It's possible to have gonorrhea without any symptoms. If symptoms do appear, they may include discharge from the penis or vagina, the need to urinate often, burning or pain when urinating, and in women, bleeding between monthly periods. About half of the women with gonorrhea have no symptoms.

Testing
The only way to find out whether or not you have gonorrhea is to get tested. The test is simple: the doctor takes a sample of fluid from the penis or vagina and sends it to a lab.

Treatment
Gonorrhea is treated with antibiotics. Common treatments use drugs such as ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, cefixime, ceftriaxone, and most recently - azithromycin. Azithrymycin is a single-dose oral medication. The most common side effects with 2-gram azithromycin include nausea (18%), diarrhea/loose stools (14%), vomiting (7%), abdominal pain (7%), vaginitis (2%), dyspepsia (1%), and dizziness (1%). Ineffective or incomplete treatment can result in serious problems later, such as chronic lower abdominal pain, sterility, tubal pregnancy, and painful joints. In order to avoid reinfection and potential transmission of infection to others, you should stop having sex until both you and your partner are cured.

Prevention
You can get and spread gonorrhea through oral, anal, and vaginal sex. Preventing gonorrhea means approaching sexual relationships responsibly: limit the number of your sex partners, use condoms, and if you think you are infected, avoid any sexual contact and visit a local STD clinic, hospital, or your doctor. Make sure both partners are treated.
