STD GONORRHEA: SYMPTOMS IN MEN
The most common symptom of a gonorrheal infection in a male is discharge from the penis, along with burning with urination or just an irritated feeling in the penis. If there is discharge, it is usually copious and yellow—though it may be scant and clear, like the discharge caused by a chlamydial infection. Occasionally the penis becomes slightly swollen, and the urethral opening can become inflamed.
If gonorrhea is not treated, the urethral symptoms may eventually disappear, but prostatitis and epididymitis can occur as complications. If gonorrhea causes prostate infection, there can be pain between the testicles and the anal area (where the prostate is located), difficulty in urinating, and the need to urinate frequently. In epididymitis, the scrotum becomes inflamed and tender, usually on only one side. Epididymitis can cause scarring that may interfere with a man’s fertility. These infections have become less common as complications of gonorrhea since the introduction of antibiotics, but they may still occur if treatment is delayed. (See the section on epididymitis and prostatitis.)
