Gonorrhoea is one of the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infections worldwide and is increasingly resistant to standard antibiotics. Early testing and proper treatment are critical to prevent complications and transmission. Medex Neo Clinic in Naxal, Kathmandu offers accurate gonorrhoea PCR testing with same-day results and evidence-based dual therapy treatment.
Gonorrhoea Symptoms: What to Watch For
Gonorrhoea often has no symptoms — which is why testing is so important even if you feel well. When symptoms do occur, they include: unusual discharge (yellow, green, or white) from the penis or vagina, burning or pain when urinating, anal discharge or discomfort, sore throat (pharyngeal gonorrhoea), or eye infection. In women, gonorrhoea can be mistaken for a UTI or may cause no symptoms at all.
Gonorrhoea PCR Testing at Medex Nepal
Medex Neo Clinic uses PCR (nucleic acid amplification) testing — the gold standard for gonorrhoea detection. PCR testing is significantly more accurate than older swab culture methods. We test urine samples, urethral swabs, cervical swabs, rectal swabs, and throat swabs depending on your sexual history. Results are typically available the same day.
Gonorrhoea Treatment: What Medex Nepal Uses
Following international CDC and WHO guidelines, Medex Nepal treats gonorrhoea with dual antibiotic therapy — typically an injectable ceftriaxone plus oral azithromycin — to address antibiotic resistance. Our doctors will also recommend partner testing and a test-of-cure follow-up to confirm successful treatment.
Complications of Untreated Gonorrhoea
Untreated gonorrhoea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, epididymitis in men, increased HIV risk, infertility, and in rare cases, disseminated gonorrhoea infection affecting joints and blood. Early treatment prevents all of these outcomes. Medex Nepal makes getting tested fast, private, and affordable.

Important FAQs About Gonorrhoea
Can I get reinfected after treatment?
Yes, if exposed again. Treatment cures the current infection but doesn’t create immunity. Ongoing prevention (condoms, regular testing) is important.
Do I have to tell my partner?
Not legally required, but ethically important. Our doctor can help with partner notification if you’re unsure how to approach it.
What if I’m pregnant?
Gonorrhoea in pregnancy requires special treatment to protect the baby. All treatment decisions are made with an OB/GYN. Contact us immediately if pregnant.
Can gonorrhoea go away on its own?
No. It will not spontaneously resolve. Without treatment, it persists and can cause permanent damage.
How soon can I have sex after treatment?
Wait until after your test-of-cure confirms you’re cleared. Usually 1-2 weeks. Your doctor will advise based on your treatment completion.
What about antibiotic resistance?
This is a real concern. Dual therapy is recommended precisely because resistance is increasing. Using outdated single-drug treatments risks treatment failure.
