Here are 10 of the most common signs of gonorrhea.
1. Anal Itching
This infection can spread throughout the body and one of the areas it can impact in particular is the anus. Since the tissue in the anal area is so thin, it is very susceptible to infection and is more sensitive than other areas when it comes to a sensation. If this infection has spread to your anus, it may be very uncomfortable and itchy. Whatever you do, try not to scratch as this can cause open wounds which could spread the infection further in your body or worse, enter your bloodstream.
