Who should take the test?

Gonorrhea is known as a widespread infection. Therefore, it is important to get tested if there is suspicion or as a preventive measure.

Gonorrhea can cause infections in and around the genitals, rectum, and throat. Without treatment, the bacteria can penetrate deeper layers of tissue, where they can cause chronic inflammation. For women, this can lead to significant complications: inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries can result in adhesions and consequently infertility. Additionally, an untreated gonorrhea infection can increase the risk of HIV infection.

Our Gonorrhea Test for Women is suitable for sexually active women who want to stay informed about their sexual health. Women under 25 years old and older women with new or multiple sexual partners should get tested for gonorrhea every year.

How does it work?

Once your order has been processed, you will be sent a sample collection kit. You collect your sample from the comfort of your own home and send it back to us. We analyze your sample and send your results via secure email with a password protected PDF file.

What guidance will I get along with my results?

Following the completion of the analysis, you will receive a lab report that includes explanations for the analyzed markers and details on potential symptoms linked to imbalances. Additionally, we strongly advise that you discuss the results you receive from us with your healthcare provider or practitioner.

Moreover, you can find more information on our website, particularly in the various test categories under “health conditions” and FAQs. If you still have questions, feel free to reach out to us via email at contact@verisana.co.uk.

Samples for our tests are collected in the privacy of your own home. Both we and our partner laboratories (which may be contracted by us to conduct some or all analyses of your test) take customer privacy very seriously. You will be the sole person with access to this information, and we guarantee that we will not disclose your information to any unauthorized third parties.
