Medieval Diseases, Gonorrhea

Neisseria gonorrhoeaeGonorrhea is a curable sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. These bacteria can infect the genital tract, mouth, and rectum of both men and women.

Symptoms

Male, After 2-8 days incubation, urgency and burning sensation on urination, profuse discharge of pus. Inflammation of prostate and seminal vesicles may lead to fever and urinary retention.

Female, After 2-8 days incubation, mild urethritis; or may be entirely asymptomatic. If infection spreads to the upper tract, acute fever and abdominal pain.

Bacteria may invade the bloodstream and produce infections in other parts of the body, most commonly arthritis. Sufferers may remain infectious for months following an attack. Not a nice disease.
