5. L-arginine
L-arginine is a powerful amino acid that does at least three things that will help you with the symptoms of gonorrhea. Not only does it act to battle bacteria directly as an antimicrobial, but it is also known to reduce inflammation. Inflammation is a principal factor in most pains and discomforts associated with many infections.
L-arginine can be found in many foods that are also loaded with Zinc, another natural agent. Foods such as wild-caught fish, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds can be added to your diet to increase your intake of both the amino acid and the mineral Zinc. You should boost your intake of L-arginine to at least 1000 milligrams a day. Adding this to your treatment will serve to reduce any inflammation of affected cells, boost your immune system to ward off any further damage from bad bacteria, and can help to reduce any joint pain associated with the effects of gonorrhea.
