&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;Gonorrhoea treatment guidelines&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Gonorrhoea is a common STI caused by bacteria and can be passed on during sex without a condom. Most of the time, gonorrhoea won&#39;t cause any symptoms. However, you might experience some symptoms when infected with gonorrhoea, such as:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Painful urination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Discharge from the genitals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Pain in the genital area&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Sore thorat if infected in throat area&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Painful bowel moveent if infected in anal area&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Due to gonorrhoea usually being asymptomatic, the only way to make sure you have gonorrhoea is by getting tested. It is suggested that you should get it treated even with no symptoms as leaving gonorrhoea alone in your system for too long could cause complications&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;Causes of gonorrhoea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Gonorrhoea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a type of bacteria that can be transmitted through sex. Gonorrhoea can be passed during oral, vaginal, and anal sex. This means both men and women can get infected with gonorrhoea. Having unprotected sex can put you at risk of getting gonorrhoea as it often doesn&#39;t show any symptoms. You might get infected with gonorrhoea unknowingly and continue without any symptoms, but this means you could put your sexual partners at risk, as gonorrhoea can still be transmitted despite showing no symptoms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who is at risk of gonorrhoea?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;There is higher prevalence of gonorrhoea among:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;MSM, especially if they take PrEP&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Marginalized communities that cannot access health care&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Street-based sex workers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Sexual contacts of people with gonorrhoea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;In recent years, there has been a rising notification rate among heterosexual male and females.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
