With early antibiotic treatment, the prognosis for gonorrhea is good. The infection usually clears in 2 to 4 weeks provided the bacteria are susceptible to the chosen antibiotic. For those with an impaired immune system, infections may last for months and become more severe.
Untreated or improperly treated infection can cause complications. In men, urethral gonorrhea infections can result in acute or chronic prostate gland inflammation or testicular infection. In women, infection can spread to the uterus and fallopian tubes, causing sterility, ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, or pelvic inflammatory disease. In pregnant women, infection can lead to spontaneous abortion, premature rupture of the membranes, premature delivery, and stillbirth.
