Gonorrhoea is the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection (STI) and can affect different parts of the body: most commonly in the genital tract. Regrettably it is usually asymptomatic therefore testing is important in order to maintain good sexual health.
It is essential to get tested for Gonorrhoea if you recently had an unprotected sexual encounter with a new or multiple sexual partner(s). It increases your risk of Gonorrhoea infection, so testing is necessary.
Symptoms that would indicate a sexual transmitted infection (STI) include:
If you are planning to conceive or expecting a baby, Gonorrhoea testing will help ensure you and your baby is healthy. Testing for Gonorrhoea is an important side to managing your sexual health.

Gonorrhoea requires laboratory analysis of a cervical, urethral, and/or vulvo-vaginal swab or urine sample. Rapid molecular diagnosis tests have improved diagnosis recently and it is occasionally combined with a Chlamydia test for your peace of mind and well being.
Antibiotics are effective in treating Gonorrhoea, but resistance has developed unfortunately over time to many antibiotics. The current treatment recommendation is a class of antibiotics called Cephalosporins, sometimes in combination therapy.
Untreated Gonorrhoea may result in serious health problems, including Epididymitis in men and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women. Both conditions may result in infertility. It can also cause neonatal conjunctivitis in infants from infected mothers.
Using condoms is effective in reducing the risk of Gonorrhoea during sexual intercourse. Newborns receive prophylaxis to prevent eye infections resulting from transmission during childbirth.
