A member asked:
Could gonorrhea of the anus have scarred my rectum and colon? is there some way to heal it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Anal gonorrhea does not usually cause long-term complications. If you've been treated for anal gonorrhea and are still having symptoms, you should be evaluated for reinfection or for other anorectal conditions.
