Hi,
Welcome to HCM
Sometimes the strains might be resistant to Azithromycin. In this case your physician would prescribe you with Tablet cefixime or Injection Ceftriaxone in a single statum dose. Then you would be alright.
Sometimes Gonorrhea might be associated with another STD cause for discharge like Trichomonas or yeast infection. So once again verify the exact cause for the persistence of the discharge genitals and get treated accordingly with appropriate anti-microbials.
Get well soon.
