Gonorrhea (gonococcus) is caused by a bacterial infection. If it is an initial infection of gonococcus, it can be completely cured using sensitive antibiotics in the prescribed treatment course at a standard hospital. However, if the medication is used irregularly or intermittently by oneself, this can easily lead to drug resistance in gonococcus. Therefore, if drug resistance in gonococcus occurs, the effectiveness of the treatment is relatively poor. Hence, it is crucial to receive treatment at a standard hospital through formal medical procedures. Of course, if it is recurrent gonococcal infection, repeated infections may require a longer treatment course.
