What is Gonorrhea?
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It infects the mucous membranes of the genitals, throat, and rectum, and is characterized by symptoms that tend to be more severe than those of Chlamydia.
Main Routes of Transmission
-
Genital-to-genital sexual intercourse
-
Oral sex (pharyngeal infection)
-
Anal sex (rectal infection)
-
Mother-to-child transmission (cause of neonatal conjunctivitis during childbirth)

About Drug-Resistant Gonorrhea
In recent years, drug-resistant gonorrhea, which is difficult to treat with conventional antibiotics, has been increasing worldwide, making the choice of treatment crucial. Self-medication with over-the-counter drugs or incomplete treatment can also contribute to the increase in resistant strains.
About Testing
Diagnosis requires testing. If you have already tested positive at a medical institution or public health center, you can present your test results and a prescription can be issued after a consultation.
Treatment Methods
Our clinic prescribes antibiotics in accordance with guidelines that take into account the status of resistant bacteria. Depending on the infection site and resistance status, injectable medication may be the first choice, and we may recommend in-person treatment.

Precautions during Treatment
-

Partner's simultaneous testing and treatment are important (to prevent reinfection).
-
Since co-infection with chlamydia is common, we recommend simultaneous testing.
-
Do not stop treatment on your own even if your symptoms improve.
About Partners
Gonorrhea is considered to be highly contagious, and the risk of transmitting it to a partner is high. We recommend that your partner be tested and treated, regardless of whether they have symptoms.
