Gonorrhoea

Gonorrhoea is one of the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infections. It is curable with a course of antibiotics so most people will only ever experience mild to no symptoms.

If left untreated however, the infection can spread to other reproductive organs.

For those with female reproductive systems, gonorrhoea can spread to the womb and fallopian tubes, causing blocked tubes, long term pain, infertility and ectopic pregnancies (when a pregnancy develops in the fallopian tube rather than in the womb).

For those with male reproductive systems, they can cause a painful infection in the testicles and prostate gland.

  • FACT #1

    Gonorrhoea can affect anyone, regardless of gender or sexuality.

  • FACT #2

    Gonorrhoea is transferred through sexual fluid (discharge or semen) so you can get it via sexual contact (vaginal, anal, and/or oral sex, or by sharing sex toys) with someone who has the infection.

  • FACT #3

    An infection can be recent or you could have had it for many months, even years without knowing. Anywhere between 10-80% of people with gonorrhoea, do not know they are infected (meaning they have no early symptoms).

  • FACT #4

    Gonorrhoea can also be passed to the eyes if infected genital body fluid (vaginal discharge or semen) gets into them.
