What are the Signs & Symptoms of Gonorrhoea?

Gonorrhoea can affect the throat or rectum (bum) as well as the genital area depending on the sex you have had. If you think this is a risk, you should tell the doctor or nurse who can then take a sample from your throat or rectum to be absolutely sure.
