Gonorrhea is cured when it is properly treated. The treatment of gonorrhea consists of taking antibiotics prescribed by the gynecologist or urologist, such as:
- 1 injection of Ceftriaxone 250 mg
- 1 tablet of Cefixime 400 mg
- 1 tablet of Ciprofloxacin 500 mg
- 1 tablet Ofloxacin 400 mg
- 2 Doxycycline 100 mg tablets per day for 7 days
- 1 tablet Azithromycin 1 g
- 1 injection of Ceftriaxone 1 g for 14 days
For babies diagnosed with gonorrhea, the recommended dose is 25 to 50 mg / kg Ceftriaxone for 7 to 10 days. Here's what you can do at home to help with the treatment: Home remedy for gonorrhea
During treatment, it is recommended not to have intercourse, even with a condom, and it is important that the two partners are treated to avoid recontamination. If the partners are exposed again to the bacteria, they can re-develop the disease, and it is therefore recommended to use condoms in all relationships.
Gonorrhea is an STD that can be prevented by the use of condoms in all sexual relations.
Supergonorreia is difficult to control
A stronger form of gonorrhea has been detected in some European countries. This is an evolution and increase of the resistance of the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae to the antibiotics that are normally used against this disease.
In this disease the person has more intense symptoms, and are especially affected in the throat, through oral sex, and in the genital region that can even cause infertility. The doctor may prescribe the same antibiotics but it takes more time for the treatment to be cured.
It is believed that the development of this superbugia is related to the misuse of antibiotics without prescription. Understand how a bacteria can become a superb bacteria by clicking here.
The main sign that the person may be infected with this stronger version of gonorrhea bacteria is the difficulty of achieving cure through antibiotics. However, not all people infected with this bacteria have symptoms and so all people who have an active sex life should perform blood and pap smears to find out if they are infected and then start treatment.
Treatment is important even in those who do not have symptoms because the disease can be transmitted to others during intimate contact.
