Jane, aged 23 years, tested positive for gonorrhea a year ago. Her partner was also diagnosed with penicillinase producing N. gonorrhoeae, and was given antibiotics. However, on the same day, Jane was taken to the ER with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. Her cervical smear test revealed N. gonorrhoeae as well as other bacteria.
What are the signs and symptoms of gonorrhea in a male and in a female?
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or infection that affects both men and women. It is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae and affects the genitals, rectum, and throat (CDC, 2021). Many people do not show the signs and symptoms of gonorrhea. Among women, the signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, bleeding between menstrual periods, irregular menstruation, frequent urination, pain when having sex and urinating, swelling or tenderness in the vulva, vomiting, and yellowish vaginal discharge. The signs and symptoms of men include pus-like discharge from the penis pain, burning sensation when urinating, and frequent urination. 
How does gonorrhea lead to PID?.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)is a common clinical syndrome that encompasses infectious of the upper genital tract. It is generally the result of infection from the endocervix and may affect the endometrium (endometritis), myometrium (myometritis), cervix, tubes (salpingitis), ovaries (oophoritis), parametria (parametritis or cellulitis), and pelvic peritoneum (pelviperitonitis). The most prevalent pathogens associated with PID are Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis that are sexually transmitted, but there are other agents causing PID.
 Is there any peritonitis involved?
