Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It can infect the genitals, rectum, and throat.
Gonorrhea is diagnosed using urine samples. The sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis, where a test called Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) is conducted. NAAT detects the genetic material of the Gonorrhea bacteria, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, in the urine sample, allowing for accurate diagnosis of the infection.
Symptoms of Gonorrhea can vary but commonly include pain or burning sensation during urination, unusual discharge from the genitals, and in some cases, pain or swelling in the testicles for men and pelvic pain for women. However, many people infected with Gonorrhea may not experience any symptoms.
Gonorrhea can be detected as early as 2 to 6 days after exposure through testing, but it may take longer for symptoms to appear.
If the Gonorrhea test comes back positive, treatment with antibiotics is necessary to clear the infection and prevent complications. It's also important to notify any recent sexual partners so they can be tested and treated if necessary.
Yes, it's recommended to get tested for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) along with Gonorrhea, as many STIs can coexist or have similar symptoms. This may include testing for chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and others.
If left untreated, Gonorrhea can lead to serious health complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, which can cause infertility or ectopic pregnancy. In men, untreated Gonorrhea can cause epididymitis, which may also lead to infertility.
Our FDA-approved Check for Everything tests use cutting-edge medical tech to detect common STDs in the US, giving you comprehensive results for informed decisions on treatment. For recent exposure or unprotected sex in the last 30 days, we suggest adding the HIV RNA Early Detection Test for quicker and more accurate HIV detection within 1-2 weeks.
