Learn how to treat and prevent Gonorrhea from Dr. Sabrina Kendrick, Director of the Ruth M. Rothstein CORE Center & getSTDtested.com

How do I treat and prevent Gonorrhea? Gonorrhea is treated with antibiotics and the antibiotics will cure the disease and the symptoms will go away. The antibiotics are inexpensive and usually there is no need to return for a reexamination or retreatment. Once you treat it and the symptoms go away, its gone. those persons who should be tested for Gonorrhea include persons who are sexually active and who are not using protection or those persons who come in with symptoms; with women, with a vaginal discharge and with men, with penile discharges. The test for Gonorrhea is a urine-based test where the patient comes in, urinates in a cup and the specimen is sent into a laboratory for testing.

I went to the dr today because I had thrush – I have diabetes and get it a lot, although I haven't had it for about a year – it just suddenly came on a couple of days ago really bad. the dr tested my urine while I was there and said I have a urine infection (the stick was the darkest colour showing a strongly positive result), but I've never had one before and I don't have any symptoms except feeling a bit ill – nothing specific just not quite myself which I put down to the thrush getting me down a bit.

This all started when I had Cholera and Hep B vaccinations on Tuesday but I don't know if that's a coincidence?

The problem is that if I take the antibiotics for the uti it'll make the thrush worse so I don't want to take them if I don't have a urine infection. the dr said that sometimes thrush can cause a positive result for a uti but she'd give me antibiotics anyway and when I said wouldn't that make my thrush worse she was like 'yes a lot worse' but then prescribed me them anyway!! I've never had a urine infection before and I'm really not convinced that I have one now – should I take the antibiotics anyway?? What'll happen if I do have a uti and I don't take them? I feel like either way I could be making myself worse!

Sorry about the long explanation – I really need help – I don't know what to do!! I did try to ask the dr but she wasn't very friendly and just kind of brushed me off. Thank you so much for your help!! xxx

There are a couple of things you can do to ease the thrush, both sound a bit surprising. One is that you can bathe it with roouibosh tea (you can get it from health food shops if the supermarket hasn't got any) make it like ordinary tea and bathe as much of the area as you can get to with cotton wool dipped in the cool tea.(or just rinse your mouth with it if the thrush is there) this really does help. I have also read that putting live plain yogurt on it helps too, but haven't tried it. I would advise you to take the antibiotics because a urinary infection can make you feel very ill if left untreated. As soon as the course is finished eat plenty of plain yogurt which will help to replace the beneficial gut bacteria that the antibiotics will kill off.

You will probably end up like me, I got a freak kidney infection after a slight 2 day uti.
Since you have thrush you would have been given a prescription cream to end it.
Take them together, as having a kidney infection in my opinion is MUCH worse than having a thrush infection.
