Urine culture is performed to detect the presence of microorganisms, including fungi and bacteria, in the patient's urine, mainly such as Escherichia Coli, Proteus, Klebsiella or Enterococcus. The diagnosis of chlamydia and gonorrhea is usually made from a swab taken from the infected area (cervix, urethra, penis, anus or throat). Urine tests are performed only in specialized laboratories using highly sensitive methods using molecular techniques.
Home tests are available in pharmacies that allow you to detect chlamydia and gonorrhea on your own (after adding to your cart, you can compare their prices in online pharmacies and order them for home delivery or pickup at the pharmacy of your choice):
In cities such as Warsaw, Wrocław, Łódź or Białystok, products can be ordered with instant delivery even in 1 hour thanks to the Wolt Drive service - check if the service is available in your location:
