➤ How is gonococcal urethritis diagnosed in men?
Diagnosis uses a bedside Gram stain of urethral exudate showing intracellular gram‑negative diplococci, which is highly specific in symptomatic men. NAAT on urine or a urethral swab confirms infection and is the preferred laboratory test. Culture is useful when antimicrobial susceptibility testing is needed or treatment fails.
