Gonorrhea in men can lead to epididymitis, which is inflammation of the epididymis (the tube that carries sperm from the testicle to the vas deferens). Untreated epididymitis can cause scarring and blockages that may result in fertility problems. Pelvic inflammatory disease (B) is a complication that can occur in women with gonorrhea. Prodromal symptoms (C) are early warning signs of an impending outbreak of a disease or condition, but they are not specific to gonorrhea. Cervicitis (D) is inflammation of the cervix, which can be caused by gonorrhea in women, but it does not cause fertility problems in men.
