Help & Advice Topics

Gonorrhoea is an infection that is found in both sexes and can affect the genitals, anus, rectum and throat. About half of all women infected with gonorrhoea and over 90% of men experience symptoms, including a thin, watery discharge from the vagina or tip of the penis that can appear yellow or green, and pain when urinating.

Gonorrhoea can be detected using a simple urine test or swab. Early treatment for gonorrhea involves a single dose of antibiotics. If complications occur further treatment will be needed.
