3. Pelvic inflammatory disease
4. Genital herpes
5. Non-gonococcal urethritis

Investigations to confirm gonorrhea:
1. Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs)

3. Culture of the organism
4. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing
5. Blood tests for antibodies to the bacteria

Treatment of gonorrhea:
The recommended treatment for gonorrhea is a combination of antibiotics, typically ceftriaxone and azithromycin. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by a healthcare provider to ensure the infection is fully treated. It is also important to inform any sexual partners so they can be tested and treated if necessary.
