Hello,
I have contracted Gonorrhea in the anal canal about 5 months ago.
Symptoms are discomfort, pressure, itchyness.
I have read here on your website that it can go away on it's own.
Everywhere else I have read that it does not go away and can lead to severe complications if left untreated.
How is it that you present such different information?
One of these potential complications is gonococcal joint infection that can cause serious damage to the joints.
Is this correct?
I'm concerned because I have a strange pain in my right knee that flares sometimes and it does not seem to be coming from any mechanical issues as far as I can tell. Although there is no swelling in the knee.
I would really like to give my body the time it needs to heal and I can be patient with the right confidence that is it possible but I wonder if I am being a little naive and even reckless.
I would like to avoid taking antibiotics if I at all can and allow my body to grow stronger but healing this bacteria.
thank you,
A
