Gonorrhoea urine test

How the structures involved in Gonorrhoea differ from normal

Short answer

A gonorrhoea urine test can detect infection at some exposed sites, but it may not assess the throat or rectum.

This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

What it means

The sample is collected in a container and analysed for evidence of gonorrhoea. It can help assess urinary or genital infection, but a negative urine result does not assess throat or rectal exposure.

What to do next

Ask how to prepare and follow collection guidance. Tell the clinician where contact occurred, arrange STI Screening and take prescribed antibiotic treatment as directed if confirmed.

When to seek care

Seek prompt care after known exposure or worsening symptoms. Get urgent help for severe pelvic or testicular pain, fever with marked illness, inability to pass urine or a painful red eye.

Questions for your doctor

Ask whether urine is the right sample, whether swabs are needed, how to interpret a negative result and whether partner follow-up is advised.
