Frequently Asked Questions
What does this test detect?
It detects the genetic material (DNA) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea, using PCR amplification from a penile swab sample.
Do I need to fast before this test?
No fasting is required. This is a swab-based molecular test and food intake does not affect results.
How is the sample collected?
A healthcare provider inserts a sterile swab into the urethra and gently rotates it to collect cells and secretions for PCR analysis.
What is the turnaround time?
Results are typically available within 24–48 hours at Dr. Patho Labs. Verified PDF reports can be accessed via www.drpatholab.in or WhatsApp/Email.
Can this test detect gonorrhea in asymptomatic men?
Yes, PCR is highly sensitive and can detect gonococcal DNA even when no symptoms are present, making it ideal for routine STI screening.
What should I do if the result is positive?
A positive result requires prompt medical consultation for antibiotic treatment. Sexual partners should also be tested and treated to prevent reinfection and further transmission.
