Gonorrhea / Clap
How can we diagnose Gonorrhea ?

Text

Several laboratory tests are available to diagnose gonorrhea. A health care provider can obtain a sample of fluid from the infected mucus membrane (cervix, urethra, rectum, or throat) and send the specimen to a laboratory for analysis.

Staining Tests:

This involves placing a smear of the discharge from the penis or the cervix on a slide and staining the smear with a dye and the bacteria is viewed through the microscope.

Detection of bacterial genes:

Frequently, doctors use urine or cervical swabs for a new test that detects the genes of the bacteria.

Culture test:

The culture test involves placing a sample of the discharge onto a culture plate and incubating it up to two days to allow the bacteria to multiply.
