Gonorrhoea Tests and Screens in the Middle East

Better2Know provides private Gonorrhoea testing throughout the Middle East. We have same or next day availability at STI clinics in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Gonorrhoea is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI). Early detection is key to ensuring that you receive the treatment you need to maintain your personal health. Better2Know also offers a range of confidential STI screens across the Middle East that include private testing for Gonorrhoea.

Symptoms and Transmission

Gonorrhoea is a bacterial infection that can affect your genital tract, as well as your throat or rectum. Thorough testing is important, so your doctor can identify the type of treatment you need. Gonorrhoea can be passed on through vaginal, anal, penile or oral sexual contact.

In the initial stages of infection, symptoms can be subtle or non-existent. However, when symptoms are present, they can include:

• Unusual discharge
• Burning or pain when urinating
• Inflammation, swelling or pain around genitals or rectum
• General genital or rectal discomfort such as itching, redness or bleeding
• Abnormal bleeding (in between periods, after sex, or in urine)
• Lower abdominal pain
• Sore throat.

Undiagnosed Gonorrhoea infections can be extremely detrimental to your sexual health. Without appropriate treatment, women can suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, or ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages and premature births. Men could experience inflammation of the genital tract and loss of fertility.

Better2Know’s Gonorrhoea Testing Options

Better2Know’s Gonorrhoea testing has a 14-day period of incubation. This is the time between an incident of concern and your Better2Know STI test. If you test before this time has elapsed, it may harm the accuracy of your results.

Better2Know’s variety of STI screens combine discreet testing for Gonorrhoea with tests for other sexually transmitted infections, to give you peace of mind with regards to your sexual health status. Some suggested STI screens are:

• Early Platinum Screen
• Platinum Screen
• Comfort Screen
• Full Screen
• Gold Screen
• Silver Screen
• Peace of Mind Screen

We also offer Gonorrhoea throat and rectal swabs for those who are experiencing symptoms or are worried about infections in those areas. Simply notify your Better2Know advisor upon booking your appointment and they will make the appropriate arrangements for you.

Better2Know’s sexual health advisory team and network of private clinicians will ensure your patient journey is as fast, efficient and stress-free as possible. We can arrange same day or next day appointments across the Middle East for a time and date that suits you.

Our private sexual health clinics in the Middle East are staffed with trained doctors, nurses and phlebotomists who will collect your samples at your confidential appointment. Results will be ready no later than five working days following your sample’s arrival at our fully certified laboratory. Better2Know’s experienced Patient Services Executives will contact you once all your results are ready to report.

If you are positive for Gonorrhoea, Better2Know will arrange a private doctor’s consultation so you can discuss your diagnosis in more detail and receive a prescription for the necessary medication. We also advise having a test-of-cure at least two weeks after you have finished your course of antibiotics.

Sexual health legislation in the Middle East can be complex. Better2Know’s private STI testing services adhere to the laws of the country in which you are being tested. As a result, you may be required to provide a form of identification at your private appointment. If you are concerned about any aspect of your sexual health, you should get tested as soon as possible.
