Gonorrhea: Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatments
Gonorrhea is treatable. Gonorrhea is generally treated with antibiotics. However, recently there have been strains of drug-resistant gonorrhea.
The CDC’s website said, they "currently recommend dual therapy for the treatment of gonorrhea."
To find out if you have gonorrhea, a doctor will order a gram stain test or a culture. The health care professional takes a swap of the infected area. The results of your test are available in 24-72 hours.
The best way to prevent gonorrhea is abstinence. Also, female and male condoms are recommended to reduce your risk of gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted diseases.
We value and respect the experiences of all of our HERWriters, but everyone is different. Many of our writers are speaking from personal experience, and what's worked for them may not work for you. Their articles are not a substitute for medical advice although we hope you can gain knowledge from their insight.
