For female gonorrhea testing, the main areas examined are the cervical canal and urinary meatus. This involves using a speculum to open the cervix, and then taking secretion samples for laboratory testing. The lab tests can detect Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that indicates a gonococcal infection. This type of infection commonly affects the cervix and urethra, leading to symptoms in the urinary system and abnormal vaginal discharge. This disease is mostly transmitted through sexual activity, and it is necessary for both partners to be treated simultaneously.
