Can gonorrhea be cured? What medicine is used?

For patients with gonorrhea, the most important thing is to cure the disease successfully. Gonorrhea is a contagious disease. Fortunately, gonorrhea is curable and is not incurable. So we should not panic or be pessimistic about gonorrhea, but should also pay attention to it and treat it correctly. The treatment of gonorrhea mainly involves medication, while also paying attention to some lifestyle considerations.

1. Penicillin: 4.8 million units or 3 grams of ampicillin, once a day, for 7 to 14 days, as one course of treatment.

2. Minocycline (Minocycline): Take orally twice on the first day, 200 mg each time, and then take twice a day thereafter, 100 mg each time. Take the medicine for 4 consecutive days, which is one course of treatment. For patients with uncomplicated gonorrhea, the cure rate can reach 100%. The drug has the characteristics of high efficiency, rapid effect, and no serious side effects.

3. Andromycin (Linbizhi): Male patients take 2 grams each time, injected into the buttocks muscle; female patients take 4 grams each time, injected into both sides of the buttocks muscle. After taking the medicine, the symptoms of urinary pain and pus discharge can be significantly relieved or disappeared within 3 to 5 hours. Patients who are being treated for the first time usually need to take the medicine for 3 to 5 days to be cured. Those who have been treated before need to extend the medication time. The drug is particularly effective in treating ulcers with penicillin, and can also be used in patients who are allergic to penicillin.

4. Ceftriaxone (Ceftriaxone): 200 mg intramuscularly each time. Symptoms will be significantly relieved 2 to 4 hours after injection, and the symptoms may disappear after 24 hours. Its characteristic is that it has high efficacy and can achieve the treatment goal with one dose.

5. Ceftriaxone Sodium: 1 gram of Ceftriaxone is injected intramuscularly each time, and the cure rate can reach over 95%. If 1 gram of probenecid is taken at the same time, or 3 ml to 4 ml of lidocaine is injected at the same time, the effect will be better. This drug is effective for patients with ulcers treated with penicillin.

First of all, patients should choose a regular hospital. Although informal hospitals are cheap, the treatment of gonorrhea is not standardized and the same medicine is often used for thousands of people. Not only can it not cure gonorrhea, it may also aggravate the patient's condition and cause the patient to spend more money.

Secondly, treatment must be standardized and follow the doctor's instructions. There have been patients who, because they were eager to receive treatment, increased the dosage without authorization. Although there was an obvious effect at the time, the long-term increase in dosage made the bacteria resistant to the drug, which not only failed to cure gonorrhea, but also increased the difficulty of treatment.

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease. If either spouse is diagnosed with gonorrhea, the principle of treating both spouses together should be adopted. Otherwise, cross infection can easily occur, causing recurrent gonorrhea and difficulty in curing it. Therefore, the principle of treating both spouses together must be followed in the treatment of gonorrhea.

Finally, it is very important to treat gonorrhea thoroughly. Although there will be obvious results in the early treatment of gonorrhea, it does not mean that gonorrhea is cured. Whether gonorrhea is cured must be judged by a professional doctor, and the patient cannot make the decision on his own.
