Urine test for sexually transmitted diseases

A urine test is recommended in the following situations:

• After unprotected sexual intercourse, especially with new or changing partners
• In case of symptoms such as burning during urination, discharge, or lower abdominal pain
• As part of a routine examination for individuals at increased risk, such as those with frequently changing sexual partners
• After a positive STI test in a sexual partner
• For follow-up after completed treatment of chlamydia or gonorrhea

Before conducting a urine test, please observe the following instructions:

• First morning urine: It is recommended to use the first urine of the day, as it contains the highest concentration of pathogens.
• Avoid urination: You should not urinate 1–2 hours before the test to increase the accuracy of the result.
• No cleaning before the sample: Avoid cleaning the genital area immediately before providing the urine sample to prevent skewing the test result.

The urine test is carried out in a few steps:

1. Urine collection: The patient provides a small amount of urine in a designated container. Usually, the first stream of urine is used.
2. Laboratory analysis: The urine sample is tested for specific markers of STI pathogens, often through molecular tests such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction).
3. Result evaluation: The analysis provides accurate information about the presence of infectious agents. The results are usually available within a few days.

After the urine test, the doctor discusses the results and provides appropriate recommendations:

• Negative test result: The doctor informs about preventive measures and explains the importance of regular check-ups.
• Positive test result: If an infection is detected, the doctor will initiate targeted therapy and inform you about protecting your sexual partners.
• Follow-up examinations: After treatment, another test is often necessary to ensure that the infection is completely cured.
