Suggest Treatment For Gonorrhea
Question: when I was young in Ethiopia. I faced penis disease (sexual disease) i.e. wrongly treated gonorrhea. I go different clinics and they give me different treatment. So, after using medicines it comes again and again after 2or 3 years. I need treatment for this.
Brief Answer:
Antibiotic treatment for chronic gonorrhea...
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I have gone through your medical history and feel sorry for the situation you are in.
Gonorrhea is an STDs that can be completely treated at its early stages. If not, chronic and sever problems can occur. To completely confirm what you are experiencing is due to chronic gonorrhea, I suggest to culture penis discharge or urethral swab and run sensitivity testing.
This lab test will determine if you have gonorrhea and the antibiotics of higher sensitivity.
To my experience, I have been treating my patients with a combination therapy: Penicillin (the first 3 days i.v.; followed by other 3 days i.m) + azythromycin (orally for 7 days).
As you might have taken many courses of antibiotics, I'd suggest to start anti-fungal therapy too.
Hope it was of help! Let me know if I can assist you further!

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Thank you for your clarifications.
I have gone through all your further details carefully.
If I was your caring doctor, I would:
- evaluate your health status further
- ask to run further tests to determine the specific antibiotic to use
Depending on the damages caused and symptoms you have, and tests results, I'd prescribe the right antibiotic. Protected sex is also highly advised to prevent infecting your sexual partners.
All the best! Let me know if I can assist you further!
