Drug-resistant gonorrhoea can spread from an infected person’s throat during oral sex. Oral gonorrhoea has increased due to oral sex and irregular use of condom.

Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection STI that can infect the genitals, throat, eyes and rectum. It spreads through unprotected sex.

The infection can also pass from an infected mother to a child during child birth. But it cannot be spread by kissing an infected person.

Common symptoms of gonorrhoea are: greenish yellowish discharge from penis or vaginal, a burning sensation when urinating, a rash on the penis and increased discharge from vaginal.

Untreated oral gonorrhoea can spread to the genitals, causing pelvic inflammatory disease, testicular pain, ectopic pregnancies and infertility.

Oral gonorrhoea is responsible for STI’s antibiotic resistance, the bacteria in the throat are exposed to antibiotics when using the drugs for treating the infection. These throat bacteria reduce the effectiveness of the drug.
