Gonorrhea no longer discharging pus does not necessarily indicate improvement. True improvement can only be confirmed by testing negative. The standard treatment for gonorrhea involves an intramuscular injection of cephalosporin-class medication. Symptoms must be completely controlled, and follow-up checks should be conducted two to three times subsequently. Only if all tests are negative can it be declared cured. If the disease is still detected, further treatment is necessary, and avoiding sexual activity during treatment is crucial. Sexual partners must also be examined. Common complications of gonorrhea include, in males, gonococcal urethritis, which due to improper treatment, alcohol abuse, or sexual activity, may develop further, spreading to the posterior urethra and causing complications such as posterior urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and epididymitis. These conditions can cause repeated inflammation, leading to scars, urethral stricture, or even blockage of the vas deferens, potentially resulting in infertility. In females, the main complication is gonococcal pelvic inflammatory disease, including acute salpingitis, endometritis, secondary tubo-ovarian abscess and complications from rupture like pelvic cysts and peritonitis. Misdiagnosis or mistreatment can easily advance to pelvic and adnexal infections. Recurring episodes may cause fallopian tube constriction, leading to ectopic pregnancy, infertility, or chronic lower abdominal pain.
