Men who are infected by the bacterium niesseria gonorrhea usually begin to see the symptom in ten days after the actual infection. They find that they experience pain while passing urine. The pain usually increases and often they observe discharge of pus form the penis. The penis itself may become red. In women on the other hand, there is virtually not indication of the infection for some time. Some women may have a mild fever while some others notice a discharge from their vagina. However, if you suspect that you have been infected, then you should visit your doctor immediately since gonorrhea can lead to various other complications. These include blindness induced by the infection, infertility, and even blood poisoning.
