Question 1

what is the cause of gonorrhea in a gi?

Accepted Answer

Unsafe sex: The cause is infection with neisseria gonnorhea through unprotected sex.

Question 2

what are the non-sexual causes of gonorrheas?

Accepted Answer

Gonorrhea: Gonorrhea is past person to person via fluid transmission after contact with the penis, vagina, mouth or anus. It is not passed in other ways. An example of nonsexual transmission would be transmission from the vagina to an infant’s eyes during vaginal delivery.

Question 3

what could cause a false positive gonorrhea test?

Accepted Answer

Not common: The only thing i can think of would be a mislabeled specimen, a clerical error on the lab report, or a contaminant in the lab.

Question 4

i was treated for many disease as in the common stis cause my boyfriend found out he had gonorrhea monday! and i went got treated but i'm having pain?

Accepted Answer

Urinary Tract: Pain is not usually seen with stis. That is why on your previous question there is much more to the story. In most of our clinics (those of us who are experts in stds) you would be treated for both gonorrhea and chlamydia. Your physicians treated one but not the other.

Question 5

can gonorrhea cause sores on skin?

Accepted Answer

Rash and others: Local infection can manifest discharge, bleeding, and difficulty/painful urination.   Evidence of infection may be found in the throat or eyes. Sometimes, if not treated quickly enough, the infection can spread to other parts of the body which may manifest as a rash, heart disease, arthritis, and/or confusion. If infected with gonorrhea, co-infection with other sore-producing stds is possible.

Question 6

can gonorrhea cause my penis not to grow?

Accepted Answer

No, but...: No, but if gonorrhea infection becomes manifest with the pain and discharge left untreated, you won't have a need for "growth" as that "item" will be "out of business" anyway.

Question 7

is it normal for gonorrhea to cause itching?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: not usually; often burning with urination

Question 8

does oral gonorrhea cause bloody/green phlegm?

Accepted Answer

It can : Oral gonorrhea can cause bloody green phlegm. More commonly just a sore throat with irritation and maybe some discharge

Question 9

will gonorrhea cause tiredness and not being to wake up in the morning?

Accepted Answer

Gonorrhea Effects: This seems to be an extreme reaction to this common infection.  I would wonder if it was combined with another illness, fever, fatigue or the medications used to treat this infection.  I would want to know more history.

A good sexual history and testing for the common sti's would be warranted if you were in my clinic.

Hope that helps.

Question 10

can gonorrhea cause flu like symptoms?

Accepted Answer

PID possible: Gonorrhea can certainly go beyond a simple cervical infection and become a more serious infection, called pid.  If you have been diagnosed with gonorrhea and are having more "systemic" symptoms, then you need to contact your doctor.  If, as you say, are having other things like mouth ulcers, then talk to your doctor about the possibility of some other type of infection as well.
