Symptoms of STD and STI

  • Unusual discharge from the genitals (such as thick, smelly, or discolored)
  • Pain or discomfort during urination
  • Sores, bumps, or warts on the genital area
  • Itching or irritation in the genital region
  • Pain during sexual intercourse
  • Swollen or tender groin glands
  • Rash or redness in the genital area
  • Flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, or body aches

Remember, some STDs and STIs may not show any symptoms, so regular testing is important for your sexual health, even if you don't experience any of these signs.

Different Types of STDs and STIs

STDs and STIs come in different forms, each with its own characteristics. Here are the types:

  • Chlamydia: Often symptomless but can cause discharge, pain, or bleeding.
  • Gonorrhea: May cause pain, discharge, or inflammation; can affect multiple body parts.
  • Syphilis: Progresses in stages, starting with sores and leading to rashes and organ damage.
  • Herpes: Causes sores, blisters, and flu-like symptoms; can recur periodically.
  • HIV/AIDS: Weakens the immune system, leading to infections and severe illnesses.
  • HPV (Human Papillomavirus): May cause warts or lead to cancer, often symptomless.
  • Hepatitis B and C: Affects the liver, leading to chronic infection or liver damage.

Why is STD/STI Testing Important?

Getting tested for STD and STI is crucial for your health. It helps you know if you have any infections, even if you don't see any signs.

Detecting these infections early means getting treatment quickly and preventing problems later. It's also important for keeping your partner healthy. Regular testing keeps you safe and ensures you get the proper care if needed.
