Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Usually the treatment of Gonorrhea would not cause any reddish or orange color discharge unless when a drug called Rifampicine used for the treatment. (Rarely used).
Next possibility is a reproductive tract infection due to Gonorrhea which can cause reddish discharge.
If it persists then consult your Obstetrician to rule out a threatened abortion as early as possible.
