What will my GP do now for my urethral discharge?
Your 全科医生General Practitioner will find out what type of germs are causing your discharge using urine or swab tests. Your GP may also do a sexual health screening test. Often a course of antibiotics will treat your symptoms. Your GP will talk to you about the best treatment option. Your GP may also advise you to not have sex while you recover or wait for results. Your GP may refer you to a specialist if your condition is severe or complex.
What will my GP do in the future for my urethral discharge?
Your GP will want to see you again about a week after you start treatment. They will ask you about your symptoms and talk about any test results. If your doctor confirms you have an STISexually transmitted infection at this check-up, they may advise you to:
- 联系与你发生过性关系的人(接触者追踪),以便他们能够去看他们的家庭医生
- 在感染得到治疗之前停止性行为
如果你的症状没有改善,或症状又回来了,家庭医生可能会将你转诊至性健康诊所。
