Definition
Gonorrhea or blenorrhagia is a common infectious disease, transmitted mainly through sexual contact. In a good percentage of cases, it starts in a paucisintomatic way (scarcity of symptoms) or even asymptomatic. When present, the signs of the disease appear about a week after the infection and may affect the urethra, rectum, throat and, in women, the cervix. If a pregnant woman has gonorrhea, the baby's eyes can become infected during childbirth.Most common symptoms and signs *

Further indications
The typical symptoms of blenorrhea are related to inflammation of the urethra (urethritis), cervix (cervicitis), rectum (proctitis) and pharynx (pharyngitis). For this reason the disease can be accompanied, in humans, by the loss of mucopurulent secretions, painful urination and pain or swelling of a testicle; in the woman blood loss may occur from the vagina outside the menstrual period or after sexual intercourse, mild vaginal discharge and mild urination disorders. For both there is a danger of complications (including epididymitis in humans, pelvic inflammatory disease in women) that can cause sterility; for this reason it is essential to contact the doctor at the onset of the first symptoms and extend the eventual treatment to one's own or one's sexual partners, even if they do not complain of the symptoms of gonorrhea.
