Gonorrhoea, also known as 'the clap', is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI), It is possible, although rare, to be infected with gonorrhoea and have no symptoms. It is easier to spot for men than women, as symptoms are more noticeable in a penis than a vagina.

Gonorrhoea can be easily tested for using a urine test with MyOnlineDoctor testing Service. This is the perfect test for you if you simply want to rule out the possibility of Gonorrhoea or if you have previously been treated for Gonorrhoea and you want to make sure that the infection is gone. Please Note: Urine based tests are unlikely to pick up signs of an STI infection if you caught the infection within the last two weeks. We also offer a Combination test for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea.

Why it is important to treat Gonorrhoea

If left untreated, gonorrhoea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease in women. This can cause fever, pain and can lead to infertility or ectopic pregnancy or giving birth to the baby early.

In men, if left untreated, it can lead to inflammation inside the testicles and prostate gland and may affect fertility.

Effectiveness and Drug Resistance

Drug resistance to gonorrhoea is common in the UK. Six weeks after you've taken the gonorrhoea treatment you need to take a test to see if you still have gonorrhoea. Testing before six weeks may produce a false positive result.

Sex after gonorrhoea treatment

You must refrain from having unprotected sex for at least six weeks after you have completed this course of gonorrhoea treatment.
