Women

• In women, gonorrhea most commonly causes an infection of the cervix or the urethra.
• Symptoms for women can sometimes be mild and not very specific. Symptoms may include increased vaginal discharge, abnormal menstrual bleeding, painful sexual intercourse, or burning with urination.
• Sometimes a woman can have no symptoms at all.
• If not treated, gonorrhea can cause significant complications (e.g., pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, ectopic pregnancy).
