does gonorrhea go away - #25985
I am really stressing out over something that’s been happening to me for a while. A few months ago, I noticed some weird symptoms like itching and burning during urination, then I got tested and found out I had gonorrhea. The doc said it’s fairly common but man, I was super freaked out! I took the antibiotics, but now I’m having this nagging worry…does gonorrhea go away really? I finished my treatment about three weeks ago, but I still feel paranoid about it. I’ve heard from friends that some STDs never really go away but does gonorrhea go away for everyone after treatment? Shouldn’t the meds have done something? I don’t wanna go back and find out it’s still lingering. Like, am I supposed to get retested or wait a while? My doctor didn’t really give me a clear answer about how long it takes to completely clear up, which is kinda frustrating. I just want to know if does gonorrhea go away for sure and, also, are there any warning signs I should be aware of? Thanks!
