What are chlamydia and gonorrhoea?
They are two of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) caused by bacteria.
Chlamydia is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and often shows few or no symptoms.
Gonorrhoea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae and may cause discharge or burning sensations.
Both are easily curable with proper antibiotics, but left untreated, they can affect reproductive health and overall health.
How do men get infected?
Transmission happens through unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal sex with an infected partner. The bacteria can also spread through close genital contact, even without full penetration
What are the early signs and symptoms?
Many men have no symptoms at all, but common signs can include:
Burning or pain when urinating
Cloudy or yellow discharge from the penis
Testicular or scrotal discomfort
Painful ejaculation
If you notice any of these or have had unprotected sex, testing is strongly advised.
How is testing done at Menscape?
Menscape uses NAAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification Test), the gold standard for STI diagnosis.
A simple urine or swab sample is collected.
Results are ready within 7-10 days.
Your visit is fully confidential, and you can discuss next steps directly with our doctor.
What if I test positive?
Our doctor will prescribe targeted antibiotic treatment the same day. Menscape also provides:
Digital test report for your records
Partner notification guidance (optional and discreet)
Follow-up testing to ensure the infection is cleared completely
Can I get reinfected after treatment?
Yes, immunity does not develop after an infection. You can be reinfected if your partner remains untreated or through new exposure. Menscape recommends retesting after 3 months or before engaging in new sexual activity.
Can these infections cause complications if untreated?
Yes. Untreated chlamydia or gonorrhoea can lead to:
Epididymitis (painful inflammation near the testicle)
Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate)
Reproductive-health concerns or reduced sperm quality
Increased HIV risk due to inflamed tissue
Early detection and treatment prevent these outcomes entirely.
How accurate are Menscape’s STI tests?
The NAAT method is over 99% accurate and internationally recognized as the most reliable test available. It detects infections even when no symptoms are present, reducing false negatives.
How often should I get tested?
If you’re sexually active or have new partners, it’s recommended to test every 3–6 months.
Menscape also offers comprehensive STI panels that include HIV, syphilis, and herpes screening for peace of mind.
Is testing confidential?
Absolutely. Menscape is a male-only clinic with private consultation rooms.
Your name and results are handled under strict medical confidentiality, and reports can be issued without showing the clinic’s name if you prefer.
PCR urine testing can detect chlamydia and gonorrhoea as early as 2–5 days after exposure, making it one of the earliest detection methods available. For maximum accuracy, we recommend testing at least 5–7 days post-exposure. If you've had a recent high-risk encounter, our doctors can advise on optimal testing timing for your situation.
Yes, for urethral infections, urine is equally accurate. For throat or rectal infections, targeted swabs are required.
Yes, when taken exactly as prescribed. If symptoms persist, return for re-evaluation.
Absolutely. Just ask for our Comprehensive STI Panel, which screens for multiple infections in one visit.
