Anyone who is sexually active can potentially contract gonorrhea, but certain groups are at a higher risk. These include sexually active teenagers, young adults, and individuals with multiple sexual partners or those who don't use a condom during sex. It's also important for pregnant women to get tested, as gonorrhea can be passed to a baby during childbirth.
Getting tested for gonorrhea is crucial as it often has no symptoms, especially in women, but can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. These include pelvic inflammatory disease in women, which can cause infertility, and in men, it can cause painful conditions in the tubes attached to the testicles, potentially leading to infertility. Regular testing allows for early detection and treatment, preventing these complications.
Urgent care and walk-in clinics like Access Medical Centers in Bartlesville and Tulsa offer same-day and next-day appointments for gonorrhea testing. These centers are reliable and convenient options, with services bookable through Solv’s website and mobile app.
Primary care providers are also a good option for gonorrhea testing. They can provide a comprehensive sexual health screening and follow-up care.
Community health centers often offer free or low-cost STD testing, including for gonorrhea.
At-home testing kits are available for those who prefer privacy. These kits can be ordered online, used at home, and sent back to a lab for results.
