What is Gonorrhea PCR?
Detects Neisseria gonorrhoeae using PCR. Gonorrhea is a common bacterial STI that can affect the genitals, rectum, and throat.
Why is this test important?
Often co-tested with chlamydia. Untreated gonorrhea can cause PID, infertility, and disseminated gonococcal infection. Antibiotic resistance is a growing concern.
How to Prepare
Urine sample: do not urinate for 1-2 hours before collection.
