How can a doctor tell you that you are infected with gonorrhea?

A doctor can diagnose a gonorrhea infection through laboratory tests, typically by taking a urine sample or swabbing the affected area, such as the throat or genital region. The sample is then tested for the presence of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria. Additionally, the doctor may review symptoms and conduct a physical examination to support the diagnosis. If diagnosed, the doctor will discuss treatment options and any necessary follow-up.

If the doctor prescribed doxycycline and ciprofloxacin for chlamydia can you take both or should you choose one?

It sounds like your doctor is treating you for chlamydia with doxycycline, and against the possibility of undetected gonorrhea with ciprofloxacin. However, Cipro is no longer recommended for treatment of gonorrhea in 2011 as I'm typing this answer. Call your doctor to find out what was intended with the two medications. There may be some other explanation specific to your situation. If the doctor was trying to cover gonorrhea, ask him or her to choose a medication from the current CDC treatment recommendations.

Could you get infected with gonorriah trough toilet?

No, you cannot get infected with gonorrhea through a toilet seat. The bacteria that cause gonorrhea do not survive long outside the human body, and the transmission typically occurs through sexual contact. While it's important to maintain hygiene, the risk of contracting gonorrhea from a toilet is extremely low to nonexistent.
