Diagnosis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection can be done through several methods, including culture, Gram stain, and nucleic acid tests, such as polymerase chain reaction, of a urine sample, urethral swab, or cervical swab. Chlamydia co-testing and testing for other STIs is recommended due to high rates of co-infection. The specimen choice and collection method depend on the testing technique used in a laboratory and the age, sex, and sexual orientation of the patient. For example, for urethral specimens, urethral exudates can be expressed when patients have discharge. If there is no discharge, a thin, water-moistened swab can be inserted into the distal urethra to collect a sample.
