Infections in the throat in particular, and also in the cervix and rectum, often cause no symptoms at all. That’s why many people do not realize they have an infection. Symptoms may also only appear in the morning and may be mild, especially for people with penises. Although most people with vulvas/vagins who have gonorrhea will remain asymptomatic (without symptoms), those who do develop noticeable symptoms usually do so within 10 days of infection. However, in people with penises, symptoms may take up to a month to appear. Symptoms are similar to those of chlamydia (it is common to have these infections at the same time) and when symptoms do present, they usually show up between 2 and 10 days after sexual contact. This increases the risk of complications and the chances of passing the infection on to another person. They may be completely unaware that they have contracting the infection, and therefore do not seek treatment.
