Swollen Genitals
Swelling in the genital area can also be a possible sign of gonorrhea. This symptom can be seen in both women and men with the condition. When the bacteria penetrate and infect the body, it would inflame and irritate the genitals. As a result, this part and surrounding areas would become swollen and painful. In men, gonorrhea would also cause an inflamed prostate gland and swollen testicles. In women, additional symptoms include soreness, redness, or swelling of the vulva, which is the opening of women’s vagina. [5]
