Neisseria Gonorrhea Test in Dubai? Detect STI in 24 Hours with PCR – Dry Swab or Urine

Gonorrhea is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) worldwide — and the most dangerous part? It often shows no symptoms.

The Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PCR) Lab Test is a highly sensitive molecular test that detects the DNA of the gonorrhea bacteria — even in asymptomatic cases. Using real-time PCR technology, this test offers unmatched accuracy from a simple urine sample or dry swab, making it the gold standard for STI diagnosis.

Now available at Lab Tests Dubai, this 1-day turnaround test empowers you to detect, treat, and stop the spread of gonorrhea — all with complete privacy and no judgment.

Whether you’re experiencing symptoms or just had unprotected sex, this test is your first step toward sexual wellness

Why You Need the Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PCR) Test

Gonorrhea can silently damage your reproductive system — leading to infertility, chronic pain, and increased HIV risk. The PCR test is essential because:

✅ It detects the bacterial DNA directly — more accurate than cultures or rapid tests
✅ It works even if you have no symptoms (up to 50% of women and 10% of men are asymptomatic)
✅ It identifies infection in genital, rectal, and oral areas
✅ It delivers results in just 1 day — so you can start treatment fast
✅ It helps prevent transmission to partners and complications like PID or epididymitis

This test is recommended for:

• Anyone with new or multiple sexual partners
• Those who’ve had unprotected sex
• Individuals with a partner diagnosed with an STI
• People undergoing routine STI screening or pre-marital checks
• Those with unexplained genital, rectal, or throat symptoms

Don’t wait. Test. Treat. Protect.

Symptoms That Indicate You Need This Test

While many cases are silent, watch for these signs:

🚹 In Men:

• 🔥 Pain or burning during urination
• 💧 Yellow, green, or white discharge from the penis
• 🤕 Swelling or pain in the testicles
• 🚫 Frequent urge to urinate

🚺 In Women:

• 💢 Painful urination
• 🌸 Unusual vaginal discharge
• 🤕 Bleeding between periods or after sex
• 🤰 Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
• 🩸 Pain during intercourse

🔄 In All Genders:

• 🧴 Rectal infection: Pain, discharge, bleeding, or itching
• 🤕 Throat infection: Sore throat, swollen lymph nodes (from oral sex)

⚠️ Critical Note: Up to half of all gonorrhea cases show no symptoms — yet remain highly contagious. Regular PCR testing is the only way to know your status.

How Gonorrhea Spreads

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is not a normal part of your body’s flora. It’s a harmful bacterium transmitted through:

• 🧭 Vaginal, anal, or oral sex
• 🤝 Direct mucous membrane contact (even without ejaculation)
• 👶 From mother to baby during childbirth

Once inside the body, it colonizes warm, moist areas:

• Urethra
• Cervix
• Rectum
• Throat
• Eyes (in newborns)

Your immune system may try to fight it — but antibiotics are required to clear the infection. Without treatment, it can spread to the blood or joints — causing disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI).

The PCR test detects bacterial DNA — confirming infection before complications arise.

What Happens If Gonorrhea Is Left Untreated?

Ignoring gonorrhea can lead to life-altering complications:

🚺 In Women:

• 🚨 Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) – scarring of fallopian tubes
• 🚫 Infertility
• 🤰 Ectopic pregnancy (life-threatening)
• 🔄 Chronic pelvic pain

🚹 In Men:

• 🧫 Epididymitis – painful swelling of the testicular tube
• 🚫 Infertility due to blocked ducts
• 🔄 Prostatitis or urethral stricture

🔄 In All:

• 🩸 Disseminated Gonococcal Infection (DGI) – joint pain, skin lesions, fever
• 🔄 Increased risk of contracting or spreading HIV
• 🔄 Passing the infection to partners unknowingly

And now: antibiotic-resistant “super gonorrhea” is on the rise — making early detection and correct treatment more critical than ever.

How to Prepare for the Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PCR) Test

No fasting or invasive procedures. Just follow these steps:

✅ For Urine Test (Men & Women):

• Avoid urinating for at least 1 hour before collection
• Collect the first 20–30 mL of urine (first void)
• Do not clean the genital area right before — you want to capture bacteria

✅ For Swab Test (Women, Rectal, or Throat):

• Avoid douching, creams, or vaginal medications for 24 hours
• Avoid oral sex or douching before throat/rectal swabs

✅ General Tips:

• Inform your provider if you’ve taken antibiotics recently
• No fasting or dietary changes needed
• Best to test 2–7 days after potential exposure

Samples: Urine (men), vaginal/rectal/oral swab (women or MSM)
Method: Real-time PCR – detects DNA, not antibodies

Test Overview: Precision STI Detection in 24 Hours

Results are reported as:
