About The Test

Test Overview

Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can affect both men and women. Gonorrhea infections are often asymptomatic, meaning that infected individuals may not exhibit noticeable symptoms.

Symptoms

If symptoms develop, they can vary between men and women. In women, symptoms may include abnormal vaginal discharge (clear, white, or yellow), pain or discomfort during urination or in the lower abdominal region, painful intercourse, bleeding between menstrual periods or post-sex, and in severe cases, complications like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can lead to abdominal pain, fever, and fertility issues. In men, gonorrhea symptoms may include penile discharge (clear or cloudy), a burning sensation during urination, testicular pain and swelling (epididymitis), and, in cases of anal intercourse, rectal pain, discharge, and bleeding. Untreated gonorrhea infections can result in serious complications including pelvic inflammatory disease (in women), infertility, and an elevated risk of contracting other STIs, including HIV.

Test Includes

Gonorrhea, amplified DNA probe

Gonorrhea nucleic acid amplification (NAAT) testing: This detects the genetic material (DNA) of the gonorrhea bacteria and is considered the preferred test for gonorrhea infection. This type of test can be performed on a urine sample or a swab taken from a site of potential infection.

Understanding Results

A positive result indicates infection. If this test comes back positive, you should follow up with a healthcare provider for appropriate antibiotics. Certain public health agencies require notification when this test is positive. They use this information to track emerging trends in infectious diseases.
