Gonorrhoea tests in Reda

Gonorrhoea is one of the most common STIs in Reda.  It can cause considerable damage to your health and fertility if it is not detected and treated quickly.  Gonorrhoea can be passed on by vaginal, oral and/ or anal sex.

The Gonorrhoea test at our Better2Know sexual health clinic in Reda is a simple, urine test used to detect the presence of the infection in your genitals, or a self-collected swab of your mouth/ throat or anus.

What are the most common STIs in Reda?

The most common intimate infections in Reda include:

• Hepatitis C

• Chlamydia

• Gonorrhoea

• Syphilis

A study published in the National Library of Medicine found that reported cases of STIs in Poland showed that the infections were present but not being detected as most people were not getting tested regularly. 

Better2Know makes getting tested in Reda quick and easy for men and women.  The only way to know if you have a venereal disease is to get tested.

What is the difference between a test and a screen?

An STI test is for when a patient is concerned about one infection. For example, if you have had unprotected sexual intercourse with a partner who later informs you that they have Chlamydia, you would want to get a Chlamydia test.

An STI screen is recommended by the Better2Know Reda medical team. A screen involves checking for several different STIs simultaneously. Screens are best used when an individual has had sex with a new partner and wants to get peace of mind by having a more comprehensive look at their sexual health.

Regular STI testing and screening is an essential part of maintaining good sexual health and preventing the spread of sexually transmitted infections in Reda.

Chlamydia test in Reda

Chlamydia is one of the most common STDs in Reda.  Over 50% of men and 75% of women will not have any symptoms of a Chlamydia infection, making it a silent yet significant threat to your health.

Regular Chlamydia testing is important for sexually active men and women in Reda.  Early detection can prevent severe health complications such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and pelvic inflammatory disease [PID] in women and reduced fertility and pain during urination or sex for men.

You can have a Chlamydia infection in your genitals, throat and rectum.  Each of these locations has a different test.  A urine test will detect Chlamydia in your genital area (for both men and women), but will not find an infection in your mouth if you have given oral sex to someone with Chlamydia.

In Reda, Better2Know offers confidential, fast, and reliable Chlamydia testing services. Remember, getting tested is not only about individual health but also about protecting others and reducing the spread of STIs in your community.
