Is Diarrhea a Symptom of Gonorrhea?
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacteria N. gonorrhoeae.1 While it can be asymptomatic, it can also cause a range of symptoms, including abnormal discharge from the genitals, genital itching, and burning during urination.1 Diarrhea is not a common symptom of gonorrhea, however, some research suggests that it may be present in some cases.2 It’s recommended that if you’re experiencing diarrhea along with other symptoms of Gonorrhea then you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Gonorrhea can affect anyone. Hence it’s important to be open and honest with your doctor about your sexual health, even if you are hesitant. Your doctor can help you get tested for Gonorrhea (& other STIs), and they can also provide you with treatment if you are diagnosed.
If you are not comfortable talking to your doctor about your sexual health, you can also get tested for gonorrhea at home. LifeCell offers at-home Chlamydia and Gonorrhea test kit that is convenient and discreet. The kit includes everything you need to collect a sample and send it to the lab for testing.
