Treatment & Types of Gonorrhoea in Karnataka

Gonorrhoea is treated with antibiotics, typically an injectable antibiotic given as a single dose, chosen carefully due to increasing rates of antibiotic resistance in the bacterium. It is important to complete the full prescribed treatment and to avoid sexual activity until treatment is finished and symptoms have resolved to prevent further transmission. Sexual partners should also be tested and treated simultaneously, and follow-up testing may be recommended, particularly for throat infections or in areas with high rates of resistant strains.

Gonorrhoea is classified by the site of infection, most commonly genital, but also including rectal, pharyngeal (throat), and, in newborns, eye infection acquired during childbirth, each with slightly different symptoms and testing requirements. A distinct and increasingly important category is antibiotic-resistant gonorrhoea, where the bacteria no longer respond to certain standard treatments, requiring careful antibiotic selection and follow-up testing.
