Gonorrhoea Specialists in Telangana

Can gonorrhoea be cured completely?

Yes, gonorrhoea is fully curable with the correct antibiotic treatment, though it's important to complete treatment and be retested if recommended, particularly given rising antibiotic resistance.

Can you have gonorrhoea without symptoms?

Yes, a significant proportion of infections, especially in women, cause no noticeable symptoms, which allows the infection to spread unknowingly, making regular STI screening important for sexually active individuals with new or multiple partners.

What happens if gonorrhoea is left untreated?

Untreated gonorrhoea can ascend into the reproductive tract, causing pelvic inflammatory disease in women or epididymitis in men, both of which can lead to infertility, so prompt treatment is important even without severe symptoms.

Is gonorrhoea becoming harder to treat?

Yes, increasing antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae has made treatment selection and follow-up testing more important, which is why your doctor may choose a specific antibiotic regimen based on local resistance patterns.

Do I need to avoid sex after treatment for gonorrhoea?

Yes, sexual activity should be avoided until treatment is completed and symptoms have resolved, and partners should be tested and treated simultaneously to prevent reinfection.
