Common STD & STI Symptoms
Most commonly, those who are infected with an STD are asymptomatic (not having any symptoms). If symptoms do occur, they can include:
-
Clear, white, greenish, or yellowish discharge
-
Strong vaginal odor
-
Itching or irritation inside the penis or vagina
-
Pain during sexual intercourse
-
Painful urination
If you've had unprotected sex, or a change of partners, it's time to get tested. Oral, anal, or vaginal sex always carries the risks of STDs. If you need more information on the types of STDs or avoiding sexually transmitted diseases or infections, contact us today.
When should I get tested?
You need to get tested if:
-
You've recently had unprotected sex
-
You've had a change in partners
-
You have experienced itching or burning in your pelvic area
-
You suspect your partner has had/is having sex with someone else
-
You have scheduled an abortion
You may need to get tested even if you have no symptoms or consistently use a condom or barrier method. Getting tested prior to an abortion procedure can reduce your risk of infection or PID (pelvic inflammatory disease).
