Why cannot gonorrhea be cured for a long time

Both men and women may reduce the impact of gonorrhea, and this disease may recur after treatment, causing physical and mental pain. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the reasons why gonorrhea is difficult to cure.

1. Improper treatment. Some gonorrhea patients do not go to regular hospitals for treatment due to various reasons, and if their symptoms improve slightly, everything will be fine. A few days later, the symptoms will reappear, and the same treatment will be given. This will repeatedly occur, delay the treatment time, worsen the condition, and have serious consequences. The correct method is based on the principles of timely, sufficient, and regular medication.

2. Neglecting treatment for sexual partners. In clinical practice, there are many gonorrhea patients who, after treatment, have disappeared symptoms and negative bacterial test results. However, after a week, acute symptoms recur several times, and the cause is closely related to their sexual partners. The formal method is to receive treatment at the same time.
