In Dubai, where diverse international communities coexist, gonorrhea infections are becoming more common, especially in high-income areas such as Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, and Emirates Hills.

➤ Other Names for Gonorrhea:

• The Clap
• The Drip (referring to discharge symptoms)

How Gonorrhea Occurs

Gonorrhea spreads through sexual contact with an infected person. This includes:

• Unprotected vaginal sex
• Unprotected anal sex
• Oral sex (throat gonorrhea)

It can also spread from mother to baby during childbirth, leading to neonatal conjunctivitis.

Transmission Methods:

• Sexual Transmission: Main route via semen, vaginal fluids, rectal fluids.
• Perinatal Transmission: From infected mother to baby during delivery.
• Contact with Contaminated Surfaces: Rare but possible via shared sex toys if not properly sanitized.

How Gonorrhea Develops in the Body:

1. Entry of Bacteria: Neisseria gonorrhoeae enters through mucous membranes (urethra, cervix, rectum, throat).
2. Infection Establishment: Bacteria attach to cells in the lining of these areas and begin to multiply.
3. Symptom Onset: Symptoms may appear within 2–14 days, but many people remain asymptomatic.
4. Spread to Other Areas: If left untreated, gonorrhea can spread to:
• Pelvic organs (causing PID)
• Joints (disseminated gonococcal infection)
• Bloodstream (very rare but serious)

Common Symptoms of Gonorrhea:

• Men:
  → Burning during urination
  → White, yellow, or green discharge
  → Swollen testicles
• Women:
  → Vaginal discharge
  → Painful urination
  → Pelvic or abdominal pain
  → Bleeding between periods
• Throat Gonorrhea:
  → Sore throat
  → Swollen lymph nodes
• Rectal Gonorrhea:
  → Anal itching
  → Discharge
  → Painful bowel movements

 How to Prevent Gonorrhea:

• Use condoms consistently during sex.
• Limit number of sexual partners.
• Regular gonorrhea screening in Dubai every 6–12 months.
• Treat both partners if infected to prevent re-infection.
• Practice safe sex using clean and sanitized sex toys.
