Gonorrhoea Testing near you in Armenia

Gonorrhoea is an STI that can affect the genitals, mouth (if you have given oral sex) and anus (if you have received anal sex).  It is important to include Gonorrhoea in your STI tests in Armenia as it is a common STI. 

Gonorrhoea can cause infertility in women and reduced fertility in men.  It can be easily passed on from one person to another.  Most people with Gonorrhoea do not have any symptoms in the first few weeks and months of a new infection.

Our Armenia clinics near you test for Gonorrhoea in your genital area with a urine sample.  This will be tested in our laboratory and as soon as your results are back, we will report them to you.

Book your Gonorrhoea test in Armenia by calling the number above or booking online now.

How do I know if I have an STD?

Our doctors say that you cannot diagnose an STD on symptoms alone.  The only way to know if you have an STD is to get tested. 

Most men and women do not experience any symptoms when they contract an infection. Some people can go months or even years and not show many, or any, outward symptoms. That is why it is important to get tested often, especially if you are sexually active or have had sex with a new partner.

When they do occur, common STD symptoms include:

• Unusual discharge from the vagina, penis, or anus

• Painful urination

• Pain during sexual intercourse

• Blemishes, such as sores, blisters, bumps, or rashes that appear on the genitals, rectum, or mouth

• Itching around the genital area

• Pain in the abdomen

• Flu-like symptoms, including fever and headaches

• Unusual weight loss

• In women: unusual vaginal bleeding, particularly after sex

If left unaddressed, STDs can result in severe health complications including infertility, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, certain types of cancer, and a compromised immune system.

If you have concerns about your sexual health, take the initiative to get tested today at a Better2Know clinic in Armenia. Booking your appointment is easy.  Please click on the sexual health clinic nearest you on the provided map and book your appointment online now.

STIs and pregnancy in Armenia

When you or your partner is pregnant in Armenia, it is one of the most important times for a woman not to get an STI.  Having an STI while you are pregnant can cause serious damage to your unborn baby.  You should always follow the advice of your Armenia doctor and midwife when you are pregnant, but if you are worried you should test for:

• HIV

• Herpes (if you have never had herpes before)

• Chlamydia

• Gonorrhoea

• Syphilis

STIs can be passed on to your baby before or during the birth.  Most transmissions (passing on to your baby) can be prevented (including HIV) but your midwife needs to know that you have an STI to be able to stop the baby becoming unwell.

Book your test online by choosing the sexual health clinic nearest you in Armenia or call us on the number above.

How can I prevent STIs in Armenia?

The only way to not have an STI in Armenia is to not have sex.  Condoms, femidoms and dental dams can help to prevent STIs spreading, but they will not work all the time.  Sometimes bodily fluids are exchanged before the condom (or other barrier method) is put on (or in) and sometimes they may break, or not be used properly.

Having only one sexual partner at a time and regular STI testing in Armenia can help to stop infections spreading.  If you do test positive, you should let your sexual partners know so that they can also get tested and treated.

If you are worried that your condom did not work, or it has been over three to six months since your last STI test, you should get tested.

The earlier you get diagnosed; the sooner you can get treated. Call our Armenia helpline to book an STI screen at a sexual health clinic near you.
