What can happen if you have gonorrhea and it is left untreated for a period of time; say 1-2 years?

Q: My brother just found out his girlfriend of 5 months has just recently found out she has gonorrhea, but she was tested 6 months ago and she was not positve back than so they think she received the disease from my brother because he has been the only sexually partner she has had within the last 6 months. She caught the disease early and they gave her the injection to kill the bacteria so she is fine now but my brother has not been sexually active since his last girlfriend which ended November of 2005. He is going to get tested today or tommorrow and i really want to know what serious complications can be happening to my brother if he tests positive since he has gone untreated for the past 1-2 years? Is this life threatening, is there something that will happen to him, will they be able to treat him if he does come back positive if he had this disease for over a year? I am worried that he will not be able to get treated because the disease has been inisde of him for a long period of time

A: Infections in men are alot of time asymptomatic but sometimes they may encounter some type of discharge. If left untreated, most cases of gonorrhea in men resolve spontaneously, but in less than 10% of cases, ascending infection can result in gonococcal epidymitis, prostatitis, periurethral abscess and urethral stricture. However, complications such as these are rarely seen in the U.S. However, the girlfriend (or ex now), will encounter way more problems!!!!! Good Luck to ya!
