Asymptomatic gonorrhea is significantly common in both males and females. A patient with one sexually transmitted disease (STD) is more likely to have an asymptomatic gonorrheal infection. A physician seeing a patient with an STD should obtain a culture for Neisseria gonorrhoeae to check for a possible asymptomatic infection. Routine culturing of this sexually active population will help to control the increasing incidence of gonorrhea. Appropriate treatment should be initiated by the physician who makes the diagnosis of gonorrhea.
无症状淋病在男性和女性中都极为常见。患有一种性传播疾病（STD）的患者更有可能感染无症状淋病。诊治STD患者的医生应进行淋病奈瑟菌培养，以检查是否存在可能的无症状感染。对这类性活跃人群进行常规培养将有助于控制淋病发病率的上升。应由诊断出淋病的医生开始进行适当治疗。
