Took Cipro For Gonorrhea. Still Have The Urge For Frequent Urination. Is The Disease Cleared?
Hi 6 days ago I was diagnosed with gonnorea and given 14 pills of cipro 500 mgs and told to take two a day. after the first two days of taking them the discharge went away. I do still frequently urinate though and I am on my last day of two cipros. is the gonorea cleared because I have no pain or discharge anymore? should the frequent urinationg stop after my final two doses of cipro?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
cipro is one of the drugs to treat gonorrhea,
But the organism is now showing lot of resistance to this.
Best is to get your urine sediment tested for gonorrhea,
if traces of infection still found, you can go for cephalosporins.
These are the drug of choice today.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
