STD test

Are there any uncomfortable changes in your genitals, or do you feel pain during sexual intercourse? You could have a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD). An STD, or sexually transmitted infection (STI), is an infection that is primarily spread through sexual activity. These infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites and can affect various parts of the body, including the genitals, anus, mouth, and throat. Common STDs include Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Genital warts, syphilis, proctitis, human papillomavirus (HPV), and HIV/AIDS. STDs can have serious health consequences if left untreated, including infertility, organ damage, and increased risk of certain cancers. It’s important to get tested regularly for STDs if you are sexually active to prevent transmission and ensure early detection and treatment.

Common STDs and their symptoms

Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are two common STIs, each with its own set of symptoms.

Chlamydia Symptoms
Chlamydia is caused by bacterial infection and may initially present with mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. Symptoms may include:

• painful urination
• lower abdominal pain
• vaginal discharge
• pain during sex
• Rectal pain or bleeding

Gonorrhea Symptoms
Gonorrhea, also caused by bacterial infection, can manifest with symptoms such as

• cloudy or bloody discharge from the penis or vagina
• pain during urination
• abnormal vaginal bleeding
• swollen testicles
• rectal discomfort

In some cases, Gonorrhea can affect other body parts such as the eyes, throat, or joints, resulting in symptoms like eye pain, sore throat, or joint pain.
