During treatment, you have to stop drinking alcohol, as this seems to lead to relapse; and, obviously, you must not have sexual intercourse, because you may infect your partner. Until the discharge ceases you should wash your hands after passing urine or defecating and should wash your genitals each day with soap and water, and dry them with a towel which nobody else uses.
You will also be given treatment. Today penicillin is the most efficient killer of gonococci, although increasing numbers are becoming relatively resistant to penicillin, so that higher and higher doses are needed to cure the disease. The reason for resistance is not clear, but it may be due to the abuse of penicillin, given in inadequate doses for inappropriate, or trivial, disorders over the past twenty years. By 1977, in many nations, between 20 and 40 per cent of all cases of gonorrhoea had become relatively resistant to normal doses of penicillin. It has also become increasingly obvious that the more simple the treatment the more effective it is. This has meant that new strategies have had to be developed.
