Book Your Appointment Now
Abbotsford patients with gonorrhea symptoms or a recent exposure can book a confidential virtual visit with TelePlus Care. A licensed doctor reviews your case, orders a urine NAAT test or swab through LifeLabs, and advises antibiotic treatment, which usually includes a ceftriaxone injection. A licensed doctor reviews your intake before the visit and explains the safest next step.
- Confidential virtual STI consultation with a licensed doctor
- Testing requisitions sent to LifeLabs collection sites across Abbotsford
- Gonorrhea is treated with antibiotics, often a ceftriaxone injection given with an oral antibiotic
- Your intake helps the clinician understand your symptoms, history, and goals before the visit.
Clinical content is reviewed for accuracy and scope. TelePlus Care appointments proceed only when clinically appropriate after a real assessment, and the doctor will explain the next step if virtual care is not the right fit.
What Is Gonorrhea and How Abbotsford Patients Recognize It
Gonorrhea is a common bacterial sexually transmitted infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It is frequently asymptomatic, which is why many Abbotsford residents are unaware they carry it until a partner is diagnosed or routine screening flags it. Book a virtual visit if you have a known exposure or notice any of the following:
- Unusual discharge from the penis, vagina, or rectum
- Burning or pain when urinating
- Pelvic or lower abdominal pain in women
- Testicular pain or swelling in men
- Sore throat after oral exposure, which may have no symptoms at all
Confidential Virtual Gonorrhea Care for Abbotsford
Walk-in clinics in Clearbrook and along South Fraser Way can mean long waits for something time-sensitive and private. Our virtual service connects you with a licensed doctor quickly. The doctor reviews your symptoms and exposure history, then orders the appropriate testing. Diagnosis is confirmed with a urine NAAT test or a swab processed by the provincial lab. The requisition is sent to the LifeLabs collection site closest to you in Abbotsford.
How Gonorrhea Is Treated
Gonorrhea is treated with antibiotics. The standard approach is usually an injection of ceftriaxone, often given together with an oral antibiotic such as azithromycin. Because antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea is a growing concern, the doctor will advise the appropriate option and an in-person visit may be needed to receive the injection. Gonorrhea is a treatable infection and is managed with a prescription, not a controlled substance. Your doctor will explain the next steps clearly.
- Antibiotics, usually an injectable plus an oral antibiotic, are the standard treatment
- An in-person visit may be needed for the injection
- Recent sexual partners should be tested and treated
- Avoid sex until you and your partners have completed treatment and are cleared
- A test of cure may be recommended depending on the site of infection
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care in Abbotsford
Most uncomplicated gonorrhea can be managed with virtual care plus lab testing, but certain situations need in-person assessment at Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre or the nearest hospital emergency department.
- Pregnancy with possible gonorrhea exposure or symptoms
- Fever with severe pelvic or abdominal pain (possible pelvic inflammatory disease)
- Eye redness, discharge, or pain that may indicate eye involvement
- Joint pain, swelling, or a widespread rash (possible disseminated infection)
- Any situation where an injectable antibiotic is required
