Gonorrhea symptoms can show up in the throat 
Gonorrhea commonly occurs at the genitals
The signs and symptoms for men include: painful urination, pus-like discharge from the penis, and pain/swelling in the testicles
For women, painful urination, excessive vaginal discharge, and abdominal pain are common
For anal infections, anal pain, discharge and bleeding are common
However, in most cases, gonorrhea may show no symptoms at all
A urine PCR is used to confirm the presence of a gonorrhea infection 
Swabbing of affected areas can also confirm the presence of infection
If you are experiencing the mentioned symptoms, go see a doctor. Diagnosis is done through a urine PCR test or swabbing of the affected area (throat, vagina, or rectum). Treatment involves taking prescription antibiotics and/or receiving an injection
If left untreated, gonorrhea can cause complications in infertility for both men and women. Regular screening is recommend for sexually active men and women, or individuals who have more than one partner
