What are the treatments for gonorrhea?

Patient's question:

For the first 3 days, the lower body itched, and I hadn't told anyone yet.

Doctor's answer:

Acute uncomplicated gonorrhea is recommended to be treated with a single high-dose regimen. High-efficacy antibiotics such as ceftriaxone sodium and spectinomycin should be used. Gonorrhea often co-occurs with Chlamydia trachomatis infection, so high-efficacy antibiotics that can effectively treat both should be considered, such as azithromycin.
