If several of these apply to you, a urological evaluation is worthwhile. This checklist is a guide, not a diagnosis.
A private discussion of symptoms and exposure guides testing.
Urine or swab testing identifies the infection; we test for common co-infections too.
Because chlamydia often coexists, we screen for it alongside.
Results and treatment are explained plainly and confidentially.
Gonorrhea is treated with appropriate antibiotics, following current guidance on resistant strains.
Any coexisting infection, such as chlamydia, is treated at the same time.
We advise on partner testing and treatment to prevent reinfection.
A recheck confirms the infection has cleared where indicated.
Gonorrhea is tested and treated confidentially here, with attention to co-infection and to current guidance on antibiotic resistance. Care is led by a board-certified urologist, with English-speaking support and discreet handling throughout.
Testing timing depends on the test; we advise the right window during your confidential consultation, and can retest if needed.
Yes — it is treated effectively with appropriate antibiotics, though following current guidance matters because some strains are resistant.
