Gonorrhea cannot be reliably cured without medical treatment. The only proven effective cure for gonorrhea is antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare professional. Commonly recommended treatment is a single intramuscular injection of the antibiotic ceftriaxone
. If allergic to ceftriaxone, alternative antibiotics such as gentamicin plus oral azithromycin may be used
. Home remedies like garlic, apple cider vinegar, Listerine, or goldenseal have been studied but are not proven to cure gonorrhea in humans and are not reliable treatments
. While some natural substances show antibacterial properties in lab settings, they do not replace antibiotics and can sometimes cause irritation or harm
. It is important to complete the full course of prescribed antibiotics even if symptoms improve, to prevent complications and antibiotic resistance
. Untreated gonorrhea can lead to serious health issues including infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and systemic infections
. Avoid sexual activity until treatment is complete and symptoms have resolved to prevent spreading the infection
. Sexual partners should also be tested and treated to avoid reinfection
. In summary, curing gonorrhea without seeing a doctor is not feasible or safe. Prompt medical evaluation and antibiotic treatment are essential for effectively curing gonorrhea and preventing complications
