Gonorrhoea Test

Fast, Discreet Testing for Gonorrhoea

What Is a Gonorrhoea Test?

A Gonorrhoea Test checks for the presence of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria, which causes gonorrhoea—an extremely common sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can affect the genitals, throat, rectum, or eyes.

Many cases are asymptomatic, which means testing is the only way to know for sure. Early detection and treatment can prevent long-term complications such as infertility or pelvic inflammatory disease.

At Regis Medical, we offer fast, confidential gonorrhoea testing, with results interpreted by licensed doctors in a supportive setting.

What Is Gonorrhoea?

Gonorrhoea is a bacterial STI caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It can infect the genitals, rectum, throat, and even eyes, depending on the type of contact—vaginal, anal, or oral.

While it’s one of the most common STDs worldwide, it is also highly treatable with antibiotics. If left untreated, however, gonorrhoea can cause serious health issues, including infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, and testicular pain or infection in men.

The bacteria spread easily through unprotected sexual contact, even when symptoms aren’t present. This is why routine screening is crucial—especially for those with new or multiple partners.

Early diagnosis and treatment are key to stopping the spread and avoiding long-term consequences.

Why You Should Get Tested for Gonorrhoea

  • Gonorrhoea often causes no symptoms, especially in women
  • Left untreated, it can lead to serious health complications, such as:
    • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
    • Infertility (both men and women)
    • Ectopic pregnancy
    • Chronic pelvic or testicular pain
    • Increased HIV risk

Routine testing is recommended for sexually active individuals, even without symptoms.

Common Symptoms of Gonorrhoea

In Men:

  • Painful urination
  • Penile discharge (white, yellow, or green)
  • Swollen or tender testicles
  • Anal discomfort or discharge (if rectal infection)

In Women:

  • Unusual vaginal discharge
  • Painful urination
  • Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
  • Spotting between periods
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Anal or throat discomfort (if non-genital infection)

If you’re sexually active and notice any of the above, get tested immediately.

Who Should Get a Gonorrhoea Test?

  • Had unprotected sex with a new or casual partner
  • Have multiple partners or a partner with other partners
  • Are experiencing urinary or genital symptoms
  • Are part of a regular STD screening routine
  • Are pregnant or planning for pregnancy
  • Have been told by a partner they tested positive

After Your Gonorrhoea Test

Once your gonorrhoea test is completed, here is what you can expect: 

How You’ll Receive Results

  • Turnaround time: Results are usually ready within 3–5 working days, depending on the sample type (urine, swab, or blood). 
  • Secure delivery: Your results will be sent via WhatsApp or email once available. If a follow-up is needed, our clinic will contact you to arrange a review session. 

What the Results Mean

  • Negative result: If no gonorrhoea infection is detected, no treatment is required. Our doctor may still discuss safe sexual health practices and advise if repeat testing is recommended based on your exposure risk. 
  • Positive result: If gonorrhoea is detected, we will arrange a review session. Our doctor will explain your results in detail and prescribe the appropriate antibiotic treatment to clear the infection. 

Confidentiality

  • Your gonorrhoea test results are kept strictly confidential and shared only with you. 

Next Steps & Ongoing Care

  • Treatment: A course of antibiotics will usually be prescribed. It is important to complete the treatment fully, even if symptoms resolve. For evidence-based management of gonorrhoea, this antibiotic course usually involves both an injection and oral medications. 
  • Partner management: To prevent reinfection and further spread, your sexual partner(s) should also be tested and treated. Our clinic can provide guidance and support for this. 
  • Follow-up testing: A repeat test in the form of a gonorrhoea culture usually needs to be done 2 weeks after treatment to confirm the infection has been fully cleared. 
  • Specialist referral: In rare or complicated cases (e.g., pelvic inflammatory disease, treatment-resistant strains), our doctor will refer you to a trusted infectious disease or appropriate specialist. 
  • Prevention: We may also discuss preventive measures such as consistent condom use, routine STD screening, and vaccination against related infections like Hepatitis B and HPV.

General

What is a gonorrhoea test?

A gonorrhoea test checks for the presence of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria, which causes gonorrhoea. The test can be performed using a urine sample or swab from the genital, throat, or rectal area depending on exposure. It is the only reliable way to confirm infection, as many cases do not cause symptoms.

What is gonorrhoea?

Gonorrhoea is a bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) that spreads through unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex. It can infect the genitals, rectum, throat, or even eyes. While it is highly treatable with antibiotics, untreated gonorrhoea can lead to serious complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, or testicular pain. Routine screening is crucial for sexually active individuals.

Why should I get tested for gonorrhoea?

Testing is recommended because gonorrhoea often causes no symptoms, especially in women. Without treatment, it can result in infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, chronic pelvic or testicular pain, and a higher risk of HIV. Early testing and treatment prevent these long-term complications and reduce transmission to partners.

What are the symptoms of gonorrhoea?

Many people have no symptoms, but when present, they may include:

  • In men: Painful urination, yellow/green/white penile discharge, swollen testicles, anal discomfort or discharge.
  • In women: Unusual vaginal discharge, painful urination, pelvic pain, bleeding between periods, pain during sex, anal or throat discomfort if infected in those areas.
Who should get a gonorrhoea test?

You should consider testing if you:

  • Have had unprotected sex with a new or casual partner
  • Have multiple partners or a partner with other partners
  • Are experiencing urinary or genital symptoms
  • Are undergoing routine STD screening
  • Are pregnant or planning pregnancy
  • Have been notified by a partner who tested positive
How is gonorrhoea testing done at Regis Medical?

The test process is fast and discreet:

  • Sample: Urine or swab (depending on site of exposure/symptoms)
  • Time required: 10–15 minutes in clinic
  • Results: Available in 2–4 working days

Every test includes a doctor consultation to explain results, prescribe treatment if needed, and advise on partner notification.

Is gonorrhoea curable?

Yes. Gonorrhoea is curable with doctor-prescribed antibiotics. It is important to complete the full treatment course and ensure that your partner(s) are also treated to avoid reinfection.

Can I test for gonorrhoea together with other STDs?

Yes. Gonorrhoea testing is often combined with screening for other STIs such as chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B & C, and HPV. Our doctor may recommend a full panel depending on your risk profile and sexual history.

Will my results be kept confidential?

Yes. All STI testing at Regis Medical is handled with strict medical confidentiality. Results are only shared with you and our attending doctor, ensuring privacy and discretion at every step.
