Can gonorrhea be cured without treatment over two years?
Gonorrhea cannot be cured without proper medical treatment. It is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. If left untreated, gonorrhea can lead to serious health problems, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and infertility in both men and women.
Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for preventing complications. Treatment typically involves a single dose of antibiotics, such as ceftriaxone or azithromycin. It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection is completely eradicated.
