A few days after exposure, you may notice a mild burning sensation in the genital region and perhaps a vaginal discharge. Occassionally the individual develop severe pain in just one joint. Later, after the disease spreads from the vagina up through the uterus and into the Fallopian tubes and ovaries, you may have pain and fever. These may be severe, or they may be so mild that you think they're due to a stomach upset.

Sometimes a woman does not suspect she has gonorrhea until a man report that he contracted the infection from her.

The physician will be able to examine the vaginal deischarge microscopically and confirm the diagnosis.
