Chlamydia Screening Test
Chlamydia trachomatis is transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse.
The incubation period is not precisely defined and is usually one to several weeks.
If symptoms occur, a molecular biological examination by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) should be performed. The best time for this is the first morning urine, as the concentration of chlamydia is highest in the morning. Chlamydia trachomatis does not leave immunity. Re-infection can occur if the person comes into contact with Chlamydia trachomatis again.
Gonorrhea screening test
Gonorrhea (gonorrhea) is a sexually transmitted disease with an incubation period of 2-7 days. At the time of the onset of symptoms, molecular biological evidence of gonococci can be provided by means of PCR (polymerase chain reaction). If the test is carried out in urine, the first morning urine is best, as the concentration of gonococci is highest in the morning. Gonorrhea does not leave any immunity. Reinfection can occur if the person comes into contact with gonococci again.
Mycoplasma genitalium screening test
Mycoplasma genitalium is considered to cause both non-gonococcal urethritis NGU (inflammation of the urethra) in men and women and inflammation of the uterus or fallopian tubes in women. It is possible that this bacterium is also responsible for other upper genital tract infections and can also lead to infertility or life-threatening tubal pregnancy. Transmission occurs through sexual intercourse. Cultural detection takes several weeks and is therefore not suitable for routine diagnostics. Very good, but not available in all laboratories, is molecular biological detection by PCR (polymerase chain reaction). We offer this analysis in our laboratory together with Chlamydia and Gonococcus PCR.
