Symptoms, testing at all exposure sites, injectable and oral treatment, antibiotic resistance and follow up.
Saw that a new oral antibiotic for gonorrhoea was approved, the first new one in decades. I would much rather take something than have another injection.…
Everything else I have ever had was tablets. This one involved a needle in the backside and nobody explained why.
Positive rectal swab. Nothing at all in the way of symptoms and I would never have known. Slightly unnerved by how close I came to never…
Treated for genital gonorrhoea. No follow up swab was offered and after reading here about throat retests I wondered whether I should be asking for one.
Question came up after a throat diagnosis in a friend group and nobody could answer it confidently.
Treated last week, still not right. Someone mentioned PID and now I do not know what I am watching for.
Positive for both. Given an injection and a course of tablets. Is that two treatments or one treatment split up?
Treated for gonorrhoea at two sites. They booked me back for a follow up throat swab and said nothing about retesting anywhere else. It seems inconsistent.
Diagnosed and treated, then developed a very sore eye with a lot of discharge. Is this connected or am I joining dots that are not there?
Ten days since treatment. Discharge gone within two days, burning when passing urine still there.
Most of what I find about infertility is written for women. Diagnosed last month, treated, and now wondering whether there is a male equivalent nobody mentions.
Read a run of frightening headlines about untreatable gonorrhoea and now I am anxious about my own treatment next week. How much of this applies to…
Treated eight days ago and there's still discharge, less than before but definitely there. I don't know whether to wait it out or go back.
Had the injection on Tuesday. Partner is being treated Friday. Working out when we can stop avoiding each other.
Had the injection, and the site has been aching and hard for several days. Normal or worth going back?
Diagnosed last week and my cervical screening is due next month. Do I move it?
My partner was diagnosed. I went in the next day, tested, and mine came back negative. They offered to treat me anyway and I did not…
I have throat gonorrhoea. He has been tested at every site and is negative. One of us is confused and I think it might be both…
Positive at two sites, treated. Told to come back. Unclear whether everything gets repeated.
Went in for a routine check, asked for all sites to be swabbed because a friend told me to, and the throat one came back positive.…
Looking back I think I have had symptoms on and off since the spring and ignored them. Now being treated. How worried should I be about…
Told the standard injection is in a class I react to. What happens now?
Read something alarming about gonorrhoea and arthritis. Is that a real complication or a historical curiosity?
Term came up in a previous thread here and I want to understand it properly rather than half understand it.
Treated ten days ago. Now have a few spots on my hands and both wrists ache. Probably unrelated but I have read the other threads here.
