4.症状是什么？
淋病的典型症状是在感染部位的发痒或疼痛以及烧灼样流脓。感染以后，症状通常在数日内出现，但也可能需要数周时间的发展才能出现。总的来说，女性通过阴道性交比男性更容易感染。倒也要说明：许多女性感染后症状却不明显。她们在不知不觉中被感染，因而也不知道会传染给她们的性伴。同时，疾病持续损害女性的内生殖系统，而且常常导致不孕。以下是概述：
女性的症状：许多已感染的女性没有症状。其他的女性则有阴道流脓和/或尿痛。
男性的症状：大多数感染的男性确实有阴茎的黄绿色、烧灼性的流脓症状。
两性的症状: 如果感染了口腔，则有咽喉疼痛和扁桃体肿大。如果感染了直肠，极可能有伴随肛门瘙痒和疼痛的血性脓液流出。

5. 如何诊断？
通过采取身体感染部位（如：性器官、咽喉和直肠等）的样本的方法可以诊断淋病。样本采取后，在检验室进行检验。在对样本涂片染色后，在显微镜下能够看到致病菌。

4.What are the symptoms?
The typical symptoms of gonorrhea are itching or pain in the infected area and a burning discharge. They usually appear within a few days after an infection but may also take a couple of weeks to develop. Generally speaking, females are more easily infected through vaginal intercourse than males. Not only that: Many females remain free of symptoms. They are infectious without knowing it and thus also unknowingly infect their sexual partners. At the same time, the disease continues to cause internal damage to the female reproductive system and often leads to infertility. Here is a brief summary:

Females: Many infected females have no symptoms. Others have some vaginal discharge and/or experience pain when urinating.
Males: Most infected males do have a yellowish-greenish, burning discharge from the penis.
Both sexes: If the mouth is infected, the symptoms are a sore throat and swollen glands. If the rectum is infected, there is likely to be a bloody, pus-like discharge as well as rectal itching and pain.

5. How is it diagnosed?
Gonorrhea is diagnosed by taking a sample from the affected body area - sex organs, throat, or rectum – and examining it in a laboratory. There, after staining the sample, the bacteria causing the disease are visible under a microscope.
