A common STI caused by the bacteria "Neisseria gonorrhoeae." While many men exhibit symptoms of a gonorrheal infection, women usually do not. When gonorrhea symptoms do occur, they include pain or burning during urination and a yellowish discharge. Gonorrhea can be treated with antibiotics, but if left untreated, can cause severe complications.
TEST PREPARATION:
Urine Specimen:
- The patient should not have urinated for at least two hours prior to specimen collection.
- Be prepared to submit at least 60 mL (~2 fl oz) of urine. Excessive hydration may result in specimen dilution that can reduce test sensitivity; lesser volumes may not adequately rinse organisms into the specimen.
- Female patients should not cleanse the labial area prior to providing the specimen.
