How Fast do Symptoms Show After Exposure? 

# data[].attributes.body
Symptoms of Gonorrhea usually show about 2 to 5 days after exposure for women. However, symptoms may take up to a month to show for men. Some people, male or female, might not show any symptoms. People who are infected, yet do not show symptoms are more likely to NOT seek treatment, therefore, causing the continuous spread of the infection.

Long Term Effects of Gonorrhea Infection

# data[].attributes.body
Left untreated, gonorrhea is likely to cause pelvic inflammatory disease in women. PID can cause permanent damage to the reproductive organs and tract, which negatively affects fertility. Pelvic inflammatory disease is almost always accompanied by long-term pelvic pain.

In males, the infection may be complicated by epididymitis, which can cause infertility in rare cases. Gonorrhea can also spread to the blood and cause disseminated gonococcal infection. DGI is characterized by arthritis, tenosynovitis, and/or dermatitis.

Gonorrhea can lead to permanent vision impairment or loss in babies, pelvic inflammatory disease in women, and infertility in men and women. The most common treatment is antibiotics. The best way to prevent Gonorrhea infection is to practice safe sex by using condoms, limiting sexual partners, and getting screened often.
