DIAGNOSIS
Gonorrhea infection can be diagnose in several ways. One is by taking a sample of fluid from the symptomatic area with a swab (penis, vagina, rectum, or throat) and place it on a glass slide. The doctor or lab technologist adds stain in the suspected sample and examine it under a microscope. If the cells react with the stain, you most likely have a gonorrhoea infection. This method is quick and easy however it is not absolutely certain.
Another method involves taking the same type of sample and will be incubated under ideal growth conditions for several days. If gonorrhea is present, a colony of gonorrhea bacteria will grow.
A preliminary result may be ready within 24 hours. A final result will take up to three days.
TREATMENT
Having numerous sexual partners with unprotected oral, anal, or vaginal sex higher the risk of infection. The best protections against the infection are abstinence, monogamy (sex with only one partner), and proper condom usage.
If you already have Gonorrhea, modern antibiotics can cure most of the infections. Gonorrhea is usually treated with an antibiotic injection of Ceftriaxone one time to the buttocks or a single dose of Azithromycin by mouth. Once on antibiotics, you should feel relief within days. Some common antibiotics used include azithromycin and doxycycline. Scientists are working to develop vaccines to prevent gonorrhea infection.
