A member asked:
Can gonnarea comme back in my organs if left untreated 10 years later?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Untreated gonorrhea can cause a host of problems including pelvic infection and infertility and can even spread thoroughly the body to affects he joints, heart and brain. It is highly unlikely that one would have had untreated gonorrhea that did not cause other severe symptoms and them have it just pop back up years later.
