Swab specimens may be taken from the urethra, throat, cervix or rectum. Sometimes, if there are no symptoms, it is possible to check for gonorrhoea using a urine specimen. Your doctor will advise if this test is suitable for you. These results require further tests, which usually confirm the diagnosis in a few days. Treatment Gonorrhoea can be simply and effectively treated with a single antibiotic injection.
Some people are allergic to the medication used to treat gonorrhoea.
After treatment for gonorrhoea, you must remain in the clinic for observation for 30 minutes. Follow-up Five to 10 days after treatment, another test is done to check that the gonorrhoea has been cured. Do not have sex until you know the result of this test. For men, symptoms such as a discharge or irritation will settle down much faster if you do not have sex, masturbate, or squeeze the penis. If your partner has been treated for gonorrhoea, do not have sex until you both have follow-up tests that confirm that you are cured.
