STD Testing: What You Need to Know
What is Gonorrhea?
Gonorrhea is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in men and women. Men in New York City are at higher risk for gonorrhea than in many other parts of the US. Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the bacteria that causes gonorrhea infection.
What are the Symptoms of Gonorrhea infection in Men?
Gonorrhea can cause many health problems in men that include urethritis, prostatitis, orchitis, urethral strictures, penile infection, and balanitis as well as pelvic pain. It may also cause rectal infections, conjunctivitis (eye infection), and throat infection (pharyngitis). In women, gonorrhea can cause PID, infertility, ectopic pregnancy and pelvic pain.

Sometimes gonorrhea infections may be present without any symptoms.
In men, urethritis is the most common symptom of gonorrhea. Urethritis (inflammation of the urethra) can manifest as difficulty with urination, pain or burning during or after urination, urethral discharge from the penis and urethral bleeding. Pelvic or testicular pain may also be present. Epididymo-orchitis which is inflammation and pain in the testis may be present as well.
Testing for Gonorrhea in Men
Effective tests for gonorrhea in men include urethral swab test and urinary tests. They are very effective in diagnosing infection with gonorrhea in men.
What Else Do You Need to Know About Gonorrhea?
Men who are at risk for gonorrhea are also at risk for other sexually transmitted diseases and should also be tested for chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV at a minimum. At New York Urology Specialists we also test for hepatitis, ureaplasma and mycoplasma infections.
How is Gonorrhea in Men Treated?
Because of increased resistance of gonorrhea to antibiotics, combination treatment is recommended by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) which includes injection and oral antibiotic treatment.
