About Our Gonorrhea, Urine Test
Gonorrhea is a common bacterial sexually transmitted infection that affects people of all ages and backgrounds. Because symptoms often go unnoticed, or don’t appear at all, many people spread it without realizing it. Our simple urine gonorrhea test gives you quick, reliable answers so you can protect your health and your partners.
Why Choose a Urine Test for Gonorrhea?
A urine test is one of the most effective and comfortable ways to detect gonorrhea in the genital tract. It identifies the bacteria directly, offering a clear picture of whether you have an active infection. There’s no swab required, just a quick, easy urine sample.
This test is ideal if you:
- Had unprotected sex
- Have a partner who recently tested positive
- Are experiencing symptoms
- Want routine peace of mind
How We Test for Gonorrhea:
We use the FDA-approved nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), the gold standard for detecting this bacterial infection.
This test:
- Uses a simple urine sample
- Identifies the DNA of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacterium
- Detects active, current infections
If the bacteria’s genetic material is found, it confirms an active infection that requires treatment.
What Are the Symptoms of Gonorrhea?
Many people have no symptoms, which is why testing is so important. When symptoms do appear, they may include:
Common symptoms in men:
- Pain or burning during urination
- Penile discharge
- Testicular pain or swelling
Common symptoms in women:
- Increased or unusual vaginal discharge
- Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
- Pain or burning when urinating
- Bleeding between periods
- Painful sex
Is It Curable?
Yes! Gonorrhea is 100% curable with the right antibiotics. With proper treatment, most people recover quickly.
Can I Get Reinfected?
Yes. Even after successful treatment, you can be reinfected if you’re exposed again. That's why routine testing after new sexual encounters is so important.

- You have had multiple or new sexual partners
- You are entering a new relationship and both partners want a comprehensive check
