women and reduced fertility in men. &nbsp;It has also been linked to Prostate cancer. &nbsp;Gonorrhoea should be treated as early as possible. &nbsp;It is really important if you have gonorrhoea to have a test of cure. &nbsp;This is because there are many different strains of gonorrhoea. &nbsp;A combination (two antibiotics at the same time) of drugs is effective in the majority of cases. &nbsp;However there are more options available if this does not work. &nbsp;So please do not think that your gonorrhoea is resistant to all antibiotics if the first treatment does not work. &nbsp;It is really important to get treated for your and your future partners health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There has been renewed interest this week in drug-resistant
