Effective Treatment for Gonorrhea in Chennai

At Aura Sexual Health Clinic, we provide comprehensive and effective treatment for gonorrhea in Chennai. Gonorrhea is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that can lead to serious health complications if not treated properly. Our experienced healthcare professionals offer prompt diagnosis and tailored treatment plans to ensure a speedy recovery and prevent further health issues.

What is Gonorrhea?

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. While it primarily affects the genitals, rectum, and throat, if left untreated, it can spread to other parts of the body and cause severe health complications. Gonorrhea is transmitted during unprotected sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex.

Common Symptoms of Gonorrhea:

  • In Men: Painful urination, pus-like discharge from the penis, swelling and pain in the testicles.
  • In Women: Increased vaginal discharge, painful urination or burning sensation, bleeding between menstrual periods, pelvic pain or discomfort.
  • In Both Genders: Gonorrhea can also affect the throat (throat gonorrhea) or rectum (rectal gonorrhea), often with minimal or no symptoms.

If left untreated, gonorrhea can lead to complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, which may result in infertility, and epididymitis in men, sometimes leading to fertility issues. Gonorrhea can also increase the risk of HIV transmission.

Gonorrhea Treatment at Aura Sexual Health Clinic

We offer effective treatment for gonorrhea with the latest antibiotics to ensure complete eradication of the infection, alleviate symptoms, and prevent complications. Our approach includes:

  • Gonorrhea Diagnosis: Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. Our clinic conducts laboratory tests, including urine tests or swabs from the affected area, to confirm the presence of the bacteria. Early diagnosis helps prevent long-term health complications and reduces the risk of transmission.
  • Antibiotic Treatment for Gonorrhea: Gonorrhea is treated with antibiotics. Given the rise of antibiotic resistance, we follow the latest medical guidelines to ensure the treatment is effective. Our doctors may prescribe a combination of antibiotics, often including an intramuscular injection and oral tablets, depending on the infection's severity and location. Common medications include ceftriaxone and azithromycin.
  • Follow-up Care: After starting treatment, follow-up appointments are necessary to confirm that the infection has been completely treated and to monitor progress.
  • Partner Notification and Treatment: It is important that your sexual partners are tested and treated as well. This prevents reinfection and further spread of the infection. We offer partner notification services and provide support for disclosing your diagnosis to your partner in a private and confidential manner.

  • Use Condoms: Consistently and correctly using condoms during sexual intercourse can significantly reduce the risk of gonorrhea and other STIs.
  • Get Tested Regularly: If you have multiple sexual partners or are at risk, regular testing is essential for early detection and treatment.
  • Limit Sexual Partners: Reducing the number of sexual partners and being open about sexual health with your partners can lower the risk of contracting gonorrhea.
  • Avoid Unprotected Sex: If you or your partner suspect an STI infection, avoid sexual contact until both of you have been tested and treated.
