Gonorrhea or for that matter any STD (sexually Transmitted Disease) can affect both the sexes. More prone are the homosexuals and the heterosexuals.

Gonorrhea treatment can be undertaken at specialized clinic. It is economical. The diagnoses tests are also not time consuming.

First, the physician takes the personal interview of the patient. This is a crucial stage when the patient must take the physician into confidence. Similarly, the interviewer should be able to elicit confidence on the part of the interviewee.

The antecedents as reported by the patient make it easier for the physician to gauge the nature of the ailment. Hence, the interviewee must reveal the nature of his/her sexual interactions. This is especially significant for the homosexuals and the heterosexuals.

It is to be noted that sex is not the main means for the transmission of STI (sexually transmitted infection) from an already infected person to another. Certain sexual typical acts are primarily responsible for the STIs. These are anal sex or mouth sex. Notably, unprotected sex with multiple sexual partners is a prime reason for the spread of the STIs.

This is because the STIs spread due to certain fungi, bacteria and viruses. These parasites breed in the moist portions of the human body. They use the body fluids present in the anus, throat, mouth, vagina and even the semen to move from one person to another. Admixture of the bodily fluids emanating from the aforementioned portions leads to fast transmission of the STIs.

The symptoms of STIs remain hidden for as long as a month or four weeks. That phase is adequate for the agents to not just breed themselves in the carrier's body but also do damage to several vital organs of the patient. So the patient remains unaware of the attacks of the agents. They then become the means to spread to the other unsuspecting sexual partners during copulation.

Moreover, even if some of the symptoms may appear at the initial stages, many patients resort to the dangerous process of self medication. More often than not, they mistake the tell-tale signs to be that of the common illnesses like cold, flu and influenza as they may have headache, diarrhea, constipation, or running nose accompanied by headache, among others.

So, we have seen the importance of the sexually active people to have regularly diagnosed and treated by the physicians.

It is of utmost importance that pregnant women or sexually active teenagers (especially those below 18 years of age) should not withhold these data from their physicians. This is significant particularly because some of the commonly prescribed medicines are not recommended for such patients.

The patient is first tested for any STI (sexually transmitted infection) or STD (Sexually Transmitted Diseases. In case the person tests positive for gonorrhea, the treatment process commences.

The treatment may be as simple as the recommendation of a single dose of an antibiotic. It may be administered through injection or the medicine may be in the form of a pill. At times the course may be longer, though.

The commonly prescribed antibiotics for the treatment of gonorrheal patients are Ceftriaxine, Cefixine, and Ofloxacin.

The next noteworthy fact is that one must complete the medicine dose prescribed by the physician. If the patient leaves the dosage or the quota incomplete, the likelihood of the sexually transmitted infections assuming serious proportions definitely increases.

The other guidelines include total abstinence from sexual activities till one is tested negative for STD. Suppose one is tested positive for STI or STD including gonorrhea, not only should the patient abstain from sexual activities but also alert the other sexual partners. They must also immediately go in for medical diagnosis. This will go a long way in spreading the disease. Protected sex is the only way to keep STIs or STDs at bay.
