Treatments Your Provider May Prescribe
A sample of fluid will be taken for cultures in a lab. Tests may also be done for other sexually transmitted infections that commonly occur at the same time as gonorrhea.

Antibiotics are prescribed for treatment of gonorrhea. Because drug-resistant strains of bacteria are becoming common, it is extremely important that you finish all of the antibiotics and see the doctor again if you still have symptoms after treatment.
