Can male gonorrhea relapse after cure

Men who exhibit gonorrhea are unlikely to recur if they are treated rigorously. The standard treatment is penicillin combined with cephalosporins for a third generation of drugs. Oral treatment takes about 1 to 2 weeks and is almost completely cured. A negative urine routine test and no corresponding Neisseria gonorrhoeae are detected on a urethral smear. Recurrence is often due to insufficient treatment and cross-infection caused by sexual partners who are not treated at the same time. And gonorrhea repeatedly attacks, on the one hand is repeated urinary tract infection, on the other hand can cause urethral inflammation for a long time, causing the corresponding long urethral stricture.
