Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can have serious health consequences if left untreated. At Quick Test Health Services, we offer discreet, fast, and confidential gonorrhea testing. Additionally, for an extra fee, we provide telehealth consultations for discussing results and treatment options, so you can receive the care you need from the comfort of your home.

What is Gonorrhes


Gonorrhea is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae and can infect the genital tract, rectum, and throat. It spreads through unprotected sexual contact and can affect both men and women. If left untreated, gonorrhea can lead to complications such as infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, and infections in other parts of the body.

Like many STIs, gonorrhea can sometimes present no symptoms, making regular testing crucial. However, when symptoms do appear, they can vary based on the infection site.

Symptoms in Women:


  • Increased vaginal discharge

  • Painful urination

  • Pain during intercourse

  • Bleeding between periods

  • Abdominal or pelvic pain


Symptoms in Men:


  • Painful urination

  • Discharge from the penis (white, yellow, or green)

  • Pain or swelling in one testicle


Rectal or Throat Infections:

  • Discharge, itching, or soreness (rectal)

  • Sore throat or difficulty swallowing (oral)


The Importance of Regular Gonorrhea Testing


Many people with gonorrhea are asymptomatic, so routine testing is critical for early detection and treatment. Regular testing helps prevent the infection from progressing and causing severe health complications, such as infertility, chronic pelvic pain, or systemic infections.

At Quick Test Health Services, we provide discreet and fast testing for gonorrhea, ensuring your health is in good hands.


Treatment for Gonorrhea


Gonorrhea can be treated with a course of antibiotics. It’s important to complete the prescribed treatment to avoid complications and to reduce the risk of reinfection or transmission to others.
