Four out of five women have no symptoms of gonorrhea, but when they do, symptoms include discolored discharge, lower abdominal or pelvic pain, burning when urinating, spotting between periods, and/ or after intercourse, burning or swelling of the throat gonorrhea. Many times women think they have a yeast infection because of the discharge. One in ten men have no symptoms, but symptoms in men are discolored discharge, burning when urinating, burning and swelling in the throat, and swollen testicles. To diagnose gonorrhea, your doctor will take a sample of discharge from the urethra in men and from the cervix in women or from other affected areas of the body. Then the sample is sent to a laboratory where it will be tested for both gonorrhea and chlamydia because in most cases if you have gonorrhea you may also have chlamydia. Test results take about a few days, but they can also test your urine for the presence of the causing bacteria
