2.Abnormal Bleeding
Another big symptom is abnormal bleeding. This is not very common, but it can sometimes happen with gonorrhea. Generally, this will happen to women more often than it happens to men, and it usually presents in the form of abnormal bleeding between periods. If you are between periods, and you notice what is normally called “spotting,” then you may want to get tested for STD’s. For men, this usually presents as anal bleeding.
Remember, an STD is first and foremost an infection, so it can be difficult to predict where it will present, but if you notice either of these problems, and you cannot think of another reason why the bleeding may be happening (such as hemorrhoids), then you may want to get an STD test. There are lots of reasons why abnormal bleeding may happen, but instances, where it happens, are pretty rare, so if you experience this, it is a good opportunity to go and get tested.
