Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a bacterium that can cause numerous reproductive and health issues if left untreated. It’s a serious disease that often has minimal or no symptoms. If you do have symptoms, some include a discharge and painful urination. These symptoms are very similar to Chlamydia, so you might want to consider the Comprehensive STD Panel ‐ it tests for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia, as well as several others.
TEST DETAILS
If you’ve had unprotected sex (vaginal, anal or oral) with someone that has Gonorrhea, you should get tested.
