Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that often requires a shot in the buttocks as part of its effective treatment.
When diagnosed with Gonorrhoea, the standard treatment typically involves receiving a single dose of an antibiotic via injection. This shot is usually administered into a large muscle, such as the buttocks or the thigh. The aim of this treatment is to eliminate the bacterial infection from the body.
Here's a summary of the treatment for Gonorrhoea:
| STD | Primary Treatment Method | Typical Injection Site | Expected Symptom Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gonorrhoea | A single antibiotic injection (e.g., Ceftriaxone) | Buttocks or thigh | Usually within a few days |
Following the injection, most individuals experience significant improvement in their symptoms within a few days. It is crucial to complete the entire prescribed treatment, even if symptoms subside quickly, to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to prevent potential complications or the development of antibiotic resistance. If symptoms persist after treatment, it's important to seek further medical advice.
