Recent micturition does not affect the detection of urethral gonorrhoea

F N Judson et al. Br J Vener Dis. 1977 Oct.

Abstract

In 202 men with urethral gonorrhoea (176 symptomatic and 26 asymptomatic) who had modified Thayer-Martin cultures taken before and within five minutes after micturition there was complete agreement between results of the two cultures. Micturition did, however, temporarily eliminate the discharge in 100 (56.8%) and make interpretation of Gram-stained smears more laborious.
