Hello Doctor,
I had unprotected sex with someone who might have gonorrhea. What are the signs and symptoms I should look for to know if I might have contracted it?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
After a latent period of 1 to 3 weeks, you may start experiencing symptoms such as pain or a burning sensation while urinating, or itching inside the urethra. You may also notice a thick, yellowish discharge coming from the urethra. It is important to have a sample of this discharge tested in a laboratory to confirm whether it is gonorrhea. If you suspect you’ve been exposed, it's crucial to seek medical attention promptly for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Thanks
