How long does it take for a positive gonorrhea test to turn negative?

Sexually transmitted diseases are one of the infectious diseases that endanger people's health because they directly attack people's reproductive organs and bring extremely severe pain to patients. Sexually transmitted diseases are highly contagious and can be transmitted through close contact. For example, gonococcus is a common sexually transmitted disease, which requires a long time of treatment after being infected. Let’s take a look at how long it takes for a positive gonococcus test to turn negative?

A positive gonococcal test can usually turn negative in about 10 to 14 days, and it can only turn negative if the treatment is effective. Gonococcal infection is generally a sexually transmitted disease that is transmitted through unclean sexual life. Common clinical symptoms are mucus or pus-like secretions at the urethral opening. When these clinical symptoms occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. It is recommended to use ceftriaxone sodium or spectinomycin for treatment, which can turn gonococci negative.

If the gonorrhea test is positive, it may turn negative only after treatment. If it is not treated, it is impossible to turn negative on its own. High-dose penicillin or ceftriaxone is recommended. Large doses of penicillin are recommended, 8 million units each time by intravenous drip, and 2 grams of ceftriaxone sodium is recommended by intravenous drip. After 3 days of treatment, most people can turn negative. Generally, after treatment, the patient can be re-examined once the pus discharge symptoms are relieved. If the retest is negative, it means you are cured. For most patients, the test result can turn negative after 3 days of standardized treatment. Gonorrhea treatment is relatively convenient. It is recommended that if married couples have sexual intercourse, they should receive treatment at the same time to prevent cross-infection again.

Gonorrhea is a strict human parasite that is often found in the white blood cells of purulent secretions of acute urethritis and vaginitis. Its morphological staining is similar to that of meningococci. This bacterium has high culture requirements and is generally difficult to culture. Ascites or blood must be added to the culture medium. It has weak resistance, is not resistant to dryness and cold, is sensitive to general disinfectants, and is relatively sensitive to sulfonamides and penicillin, but is prone to develop drug resistance. The pathogenic mechanism of gonorrhea is complex, and its virulence is related to certain components of pili, capsule, lipopolysaccharide and outer membrane protein. The lga1 protease produced by gonococci can cleave human lga1, so it is also a virulence factor that cannot be ignored.
