Can i treat gonorrhea with home remedies?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
None are effective: There are no effective treatments for gonorrhea except for antibiotics. A person with suspected gonorrhea should be evaluated by a doctor to check for gonorrhea and other std infections. Until the doctor's appointment, the person should avoid sexual contact with others, so not to spread the gonorrhea.

No: It is important to be tested and properly treated for gonorrhea if present. This can be done often for free at a public clinic. Immediate treatment for both gonorrhea and chlamydia is advised to reduce risk to yourself and prevent the spread of the disease. Any partners should be notified immediately as well.
