Suggest Treatment For Gonorrhea
I am a male, 32 years old, 170 pound, and have had no medical problems in my life. I recently contracted gonorrhea(tested negative for chlamydia) and was given a shot and 2 pills. That was on Monday (noticed that I had it the wednsday before but was unable to see a doctor due to the holidays). It is now friday and I am still burning when I pee and have excuriating pain when I get an erection. What should I do?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Gonorrhea is a highly contagious sexually transmitted bacterial infection and is characterized by thick discharge from the penis.
Ciprofloxacin 500 mg a single dose. You have to wait at least 7 days after taking the dose before having any sexual contact. To avoid re-infection sexual partners should be treated too.
It's important not to have unprotected vaginal, oral or anal sex until treatment is completed & the infection has cleared up.
Certain strains of gonorrhea bacteria have become resistant to antibiotics like quinolones and sulfa drugs. When bacteria become resistant to an antibiotic, they no longer can be killed by that medicine.
If you have been treated for gonorrhea and don't get better, you may be re-tested by gonorrhea culture to see if there is bacterial resistance to the antibiotic you were taking.
Based on this we can give antibiotic which you are sensitive.
Thank you.
