When it comes to STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) treatment, options vary depending on the specific infection. Here's a breakdown of what's available and how it works.
Common STD Treatments & How They Work
1. Chlamydia - Antibiotics (commonly azithromycin or doxycycline).Kills the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis.
2. Gonorrhoea - Dual antibiotic therapy (usually an injection of ceftriaxone plus oral azithromycin).Targets resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
3. Syphilis - Penicillin G injection (or alternatives like doxycycline if allergic).Eliminates the Treponema pallidum bacterium.
4. Genital Herpes (HSV) - Antiviral medications like acyclovir, valacyclovir, or famciclovir.Doesn’t cure, but reduces severity, frequency, and contagiousness of outbreaks.
5. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) - No cure for the virus, but treatments exist for symptoms like genital warts (e.g. topical creams, cryotherapy, laser removal).Targets visible warts, but virus may still be in your system.
