What You Should Know About STD Testing


Sexually Transmitted Diseases or STDs can infect anyone who is sexually active. As long as you do not practice unprotected sex, you may be the next victim of this deadly disease. Most people barely have a basic knowledge of STD symptoms and its treatment. It is not enough to know these basics. What is important is that once you are aware that you may have STD symptoms it is best that you undergo STD testing. This is the next best step in prevention of this disease. As the saying goes, "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure."

STD testing is the best way to know if you are infected with this disease. Some STDs display symptoms that are similar to the common diseases like flu, diarrhea or the common allergy. Some STDs do not show any symptoms at all and manifest their effects after a very long period of time. Until then you are kept guessing if you have it or you don't. The best way is to consult your doctor or health provider if you suspect that you were exposed and show symptoms of the disease. Go for STD testing so you will be able to determine the proper treatment of STDs.

Genital Warts. There are two types of warts - high-risk and low-risk. The doctor will take a visual inspection of the affected area to determine what type of wart is afflicting the patient. Some warts are not visible to the human eye that is why during the examination the doctor will swab the affected area with acetic acid to make small warts visible. This strain of warts can lead to cervical cancer so it is important to have regular Pap smear tests for women.

Herpes. Although there are two types, the more lethal cases are caused by the HSV-2. Since there are no visible symptoms, patients will need to undergo a physical exam and a blood test.

Chlamydia. A pelvic exam and a swab test will be given by the doctor to the suspecting patient. A cervical swab will be applied to the cervix and this will be sent to a laboratory to test for signs of bacteria causing Chlamydia.

Gonorrhea. A physical exam as well as a culture test will be taken from the patient. Samples of the green or yellow discharge will be sent to a laboratory to test for the presence of bacteria. A urine test may also be taken but some results may not be accurate.

Syphilis. Early detection of this disease is the appearance of sores and rashes. Since this disease occurs in stages, different tests are taken for every stage. During the early stages, a physical exam and samples of the fluid taken from the sores are required. In the second stage, the lymph glands will be checked as well as signs for body rash. A blood test will be required to look for the anti-bodies of the syphilis bacteria. In the latter stages, a Cerebrospinal Fluid Test will be taken. This procedure will involve extraction of spinal fluids to determine the extent of the infection.

Sexual Healing - Why an STD Test Is So Important


There's no denying that sex is a large part of many of our lives. Some groups and institutions may fight against this, proclaiming their morality above all others, yet the fact remains: people have sex. It is the strongest urge in humankind beside self preservation. With sex comes the possibility of becoming infected with an STD. Because of this risk many people decide to undergo a test or two to discover their status. This is responsible behavior and must be commended. The commendation derives not only the protection of one's own health, but the health of society in general.

When one undergoes an STD test and discovers their status, society is healthier. If the results of a person's STD test shows that the individual is infected with one of any STD, that person will more often than not seek treatment for their illness. For a large number of STDs, treatment means recovery, and recovery means that no one else will become infected from that particular path of the disease. Every one person who undergoes a test and seeks treatment means that a large number of their partner's partners' partners will remain disease free!

Anyone living in a medically advanced society and engages in sexual activity should take full advantage of all the benefits their society affords. These benefits include birth control-including condoms and the Pill-and the STD test. By remaining vigilant to the dangers of sexual activity, one proves to the aspects of society that may take umbrage at what it is that "gets you off" that you are an adult and are responsible for your own personal choices.

It is a weak stitch in the fabric of society that would dictate their morality to others who act responsibly and do everything in their power to heed to caution. For all that enjoy healthy sex lives, whether they are straight, gay or bisexual, engaging in responsible behavior (including the STD testing when necessary) proves to those who think differently that they should, quite frankly, mind their own damn business.

There are over twenty five separate diseases that can be categorized as an STD and all of these diseases have a test to diagnose them. The common STD is a huge problem in this country as they are everywhere else on Earth. One of the main problems with detecting an STD without its proper test being administered is the fact that many of these diseases show no symptoms.

Fortunately most STDs do come with symptoms. When symptoms arrive a person should immediately head to the nearest certified STD clinic to receive a test-or a battery of them. The following is a list of some common STD symptoms. Remember, if you or a loved has had or are currently showing signs of any of the following, it is time to receive a test to properly diagnose your status.

Common STD Symptoms

Dark and/or bad-smelling urine

Healthy urine is not dark and has a distinct odor. We all know what our urine should smell like. If your urine is dark and smells differently than what you think it should-it is time for a test.

Secretions from genitals

Obviously not all secretions from our genitals are a cause for concern. Once again, common sense needs to be applied. If you have any secretions that do not look normal to you-and if it is discolored (green or yellow)-it is time for a test.

Pain while urinating

Urination should be pleasurable in the sense of receiving relief from a full bladder. When urination becomes painful it is a sure sign of an STD-and it's time for a test.

Blisters, warts or sores

Another very obvious sign that there is trouble down below. Healthy genitals do not show any sign of sores, scabbing or blistering. These can be the symptoms of herpes or genital warts (HPV)-and it's time for a test.




If you happen to reside in the New York City area, and want to engage in the most responsible behavior possible, log onto STD testing in Manhattan.

Know More About STD and Its 25 Different Types


A total of 25 different types of STD have been listed and grouped under STD. It is their nature to be easily transmitted sexually. Aside from sexual transmission, when the wound is open, these diseases can also be transmitted through exchanging of body liquids and infection. Since STD has so many types, in most cases, an infected person is struggling to identify what type of STD is striking him.

Among the 25 STDs, six of them are believed to be the most widespread. The six most common STDs are AIDS, syphilis, herpes, Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and genital warts. From the six STDs, Chlamydia is said to be on top as the most prevalent. Every year, there are three million detected cases of Chlamydia and it continues to increase from time to time. In early stages of Chlamydia, it can be treated by antibiotics. But if Chlamydia cannot be treated immediately, it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease which is believed to be the reason of infertility.

A person with STD will suffer from genital pain, itch, and sores as the early symptoms of the STD. Men with STDs will encounter symptoms such as pain throughout urination, testicular pain and swelling, and penile discharge.

Majority of STDs can be cured. But one has to remember that STDs can be the reason for hassles and disabilities in one's life. STD can cause problems that can make life miserable. STDs like gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and syphilis can cause PID or the so-called Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. This disease can be a person's long term and serious problem. It can cause infertility and pelvic pain. There is also a kind of STD that can be the reason for genital warts and can be the cause of cervical cancer. This disease is called Human Papilloma Virus or HPV.

Chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea can be treated. Before a person will undergo for a treatment, he must first take an STD test to confirm his suspicion that he has an STD infection. Those who want to undergo any test must always remember that all STD tests are not 100% accurate. When you have the feeling that you have been infected or if you are experiencing STD symptoms, go immediately to an STD clinic and ask for an STD test.

It is a sad fact that Hepatitis B, HIV, and Human Papilloma Virus are the kind of STDs that cannot be cured, but these can be treated and managed. Taking an STD test is the best thing a person can do if there are some reproductive system and genital irregularities. The first step is going to the doctor or to any STD clinic and have a blood sample test. After the test and you found out that you are an STD carrier, seek immediately for a medical treatment. Early detection of STD is very important so that an infected person can get appropriate treatment.

STDs - this article talks about the types of STD and Their Symptoms.

The Most Common STD


Sexually transmitted diseases are not as unusual as people may think. Statistics show that about 50 million people all over the world acquire sexually transmitted diseases in just a single year. With that kind of number, one would be inclined to ask what the most common STD is. Let this article give you the answers to that question, and include some details on them as well.

The first and the most common STD is called Chlamydia. However, it is one that has a cure, and has had a very high cure rate all over the world. It infects the insides of the genital area, such as the cervix in women, and the urethra in men. The main reason by which Chlamydia has qualified to be the most common STD is because the symptoms that tells a person that he or she has Chlamydia do not appear for at least a few days, to usually up until several months after acquiring the disease. So the best thing to do with this is if there is any possibility or if there is any suspicion that one has made contact with someone who has that sexually transmitted disease, is to get checked by a healthcare professional in order to ensure the absence of this common STD. Condoms are anyone's best protection against STD, but then again, this would only protect a person in some sexual activities.

Another common STD on the list is gonorrhea, which was given the nickname "clap." The symptoms experienced in this STD caused by a specific strain of bacteria, is very similar to those seen with Chlamydia. Even the effects experienced by people who have had this STD for a lengthy period of time are similar to those with Chlamydia. The organs that are involved in the infection are also the same. The main symptoms that a person who has gonorrhea might experience would be excruciating pain similar to a burning sensation while urinating, and pus discharges for men, and unusual discharges from the vagina in women. One other extra thing that may distinguish gonorrhea from Chlamydia is that one can also get infected by way of one's throat through oral sex.

Syphilis is another common STD that may be difficult to manage. A person may acquire syphilis if he or she was able to come in direct contact with a sore, thus sexual activities are sure- fire ways to get this common STD. Sores will appear where the germs have come into contact with a newly infected person, such as the genital area and even the mouth area. Syphilis must be treated immediately in order to avoid further complications. Treatment of this disease and the absence of visible sores are not determinants that it has already been cured. In fact, there is a very high probability that the bacteria are still inside the body and spreading throughout. During the last stages of syphilis, though, the infected person may no longer be contagious. However, care must be taken by a woman carrying a child inside her womb, as the disease will be passed on to the unborn child.

In order to be extremely sure that you have not acquired any of these common STDs, you may want to contact your healthcare provider immediately, especially if you are sexually active.




15 million people contract STD's every single year. Are you one of the 1 in 4 people walking around with an STD and you don't even know it?

STD - Diseases and Preventive Measures


Knowledge is power! Being well informed about Sexually Transmitted Diseases or STDs is your first step in fighting the disease. As the name suggests, STDs are commonly transmitted by infected individuals through unprotected sexual intercourse. Some strains of STDs can be transmitted by direct contact with the infected person through exposure to open sores and infectious body fluids and discharges. A drug user sharing unsanitary needles is another way to get infected. Sexually active people with multiple partners, having same sex intercourse, sex with a STD infected person and the practice of unprotected sex exposes one to a high risk of STD infection.

STD is life threatening. Though this disease is either bacterial or viral in nature both are very infectious. The effects on the patient can be devastating and can even develop to more complicated health problems. Some strains of Bacterial STDs are curable but are very recurrent. Viral STDs have no proven cure. The treatment for this type of STD is for the alleviation of its symptoms and to prevent its further development and transmission.

STD symptoms are hard to detect. Some types may show no visible symptoms at all making it difficult for the person to know that he is infected. The best thing to do when a person suspects that he is exposed to infection is to go to undergo a physical examination in an STD testing center. Some STDs may show symptoms that may be confused for a harmless allergy or a typical flu so it is best being checked to eliminate the probability of misdiagnosis.

STD is a long list of diseases. To be specific, these diseases are Chlamydia, Genital Herpes (HSV-2), Genital Warts, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B (HBV), HIV and AIDS, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), Pubic Lice (CRABS), Syphilis, Trichomoniasis and Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). It is not enough to know the names and nature of these diseases. To really win the battle against STDs is to prevent the disease from infecting people and from spreading further.

STD testing centers provide services for the prevention and treatment of this disease. Educating the general public on how this disease can be transmitted as well its harmful effects on the human body is essential for its prevention. By providing counseling to people who are of great risk of exposure to STD can help lessen the occurrence of STDs. Thru counseling, high risk candidates are given tips on how to avoid infection by way of changing their sexual behavior and practices.

Identifying the asymptomatic symptoms of infected patients can result to the proper diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Evaluation, treatment and counseling are also extended to the sexual partners of infected people. This prevents the further transmission of STDs to other sexual partners and the re-infection of the disease once the patient has been treated. Another service STD centers have is to give pre-exposure vaccinations of preventable STDs to persons at risk but not yet infected. Vaccinations for the prevention of Hepatitis can be given to patients who do not show any symptoms of this disease.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are illnesses that are mainly caused by the infection being transmitted from one person to another during sexual contact. With at least 25 different types of sexually transmitted diseases, there is a huge range of different symptoms within all of these infections. These diseases are typically spread through vaginal intercourse, oral sex or anal sex.

Most STDs will only affect you if you have sexual contact with a person who has a sexually transmitted disease. However, there are certain infections like scabies, which are referred to as STDs because they are mostly transmitted sexually, but can also be passed on in other methods. For example, even someone with Syphilis may pass on the infection by a simple handshake or any other type of body contact.

The symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases vary depending on the type of STD you are encountered with. However, many STDs share symptoms, with the most common types of symptoms being soreness, unusual sores or lumps, pain when urinating, itching, and discolored discharge from the genitals.

Unfortunately, with certain infections someone could have an STD and have no symptoms for months or even years, but they can still be infectious. The best way to find out if you are infected with a sexually transmitted disease is by getting tested. There are numerous methods of being tested, however, for most the best option is confidential testing. Someone choosing confidential testing provides contact information and the test results are linked to the person's name in a confidential medical file.

STD Symptoms For Men


STD is the shortened form for sexually transmitted diseases. They are diseases that are transferred through sexual contact be it vaginal, anal or oral intercourse. For men, the symptoms of these various STDs are far easier to detect and see as compared to those in the females. The male reproductive organs are mostly exposed and external making detection far easier. Most STDs in the male body can be seen in the penis, anus, rectum, and scrotum and these areas are the places where symptoms are usually seen. It is therefore advantageous for you to know what these symptoms are so as not to mistake them for any other illness.

One of these STDs is Chlamydia. Men suffer from the terrible effects of this STD even though most of the people afflicted with this illness are women. Symptoms appear 1 to 3 weeks after initial contact with the infection and are usually manifested by a burning sensation while urinating. Itchiness in the penis and testicles as well as pain and swelling in the area are also commonly found. A clear discharge that comes from the genitals is an indicative sign of Chlamydia.

Gonorrhea on the other hand shares a lot of common symptoms with Chlamydia. However, the problem lies with the fact that a lot of men actually show no signs of the disease. The symptoms, if they do appear, show themselves 2 to 10 days after being exposed to the infection. They also feel a burning sensation whilst urinating accompanied by pain during sexual intercourse, frequent feelings of urinating, and a thick, bloody, and cloudy discharge that is usually yellow, green or white in color that comes from the genitals. If the man performed oral sex, he may also experience sore throat.

Syphilis is another STD that is very common. Its tell-tale sign is the appearance of a painless sore known as Chancre that is found in the genitals, scrotum, and anus. The sore appears 10 to 90 days after contact with the causative agent and usually lasts up to 3 to 6 weeks. It will heal spontaneously and if left untreated will proceed to the 2nd stage of the illness where there are appearances of rashes all over the body, usually in the palm of the hands and the soles of the feet. These symptoms eventually disappear for some time and will comeback after a while bringing in more bad news. Organ damage may now result and blindness, paralysis and even death may happen.

With all of these symptoms, it is hard to know what type of STD you may have. Also, some if not most of these symptoms are generally shared by other STDs and non-STD conditions. It is, therefore, quite hard to tell if you have an STD or what type of STD you have. Your safest bet would be to go to an STD clinic and get tested, especially if you are sexually active. You may never know what may happen to you if you leave things untreated and as is.

Symptoms of STDs - Sexual Transmitted Diseases Quick Info


Sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs, are passed from one person to another via sexual acts such as oral sex, anal sex, and penetrative sexual intercourse. There are currently 25 STDs known to the medical community with the most common being syphilis, hepatitis A and B, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and AIDS. These sexually transmitted diseases stem from bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live and multiply in various bodily fluids. The risk of being afflicted with STDs can be increased by having more than one sexual partner as well as engaging in sexual acts with someone who has more than one partner. However, using a condom can greatly lower the risk of contracting all STDs.

Because there is a wide variety of sexually transmitted diseases, there are many symptoms associated with these types of diseases. For example, syphilis is most often realized when small genital warts, clinically called chancres, are present. The chancres, which are similar in size to buttons, may also be seen on the anus and in the throat region. Gonorrhea, also known as "the drip disease" or "the clap," creates a discharge that comes from the penis or vulva and is similar in consistency to mucus. Those who contract genital herpes will notice blister-like ulcers appearing around the genitalia area. In many cases, those with an STD will also suffer from urinary issues.

Although there are vaccines for hepatitis A and B, the only way to be completely protected from any STD is by practicing abstinence. This is why it is recommended to restrict the amount of sexual partners you have to people with clean sexual health histories; this is the most effective way of reducing the risk of STDs. Condoms are also highly effective in preventing sexually transmitted diseases but only when the condom is used properly; otherwise, there is a greater chance of becoming infected. It is important to remember that condoms are not 100% foolproof and are only able to prevent the male penis from coming in contact with the female skin. The genitalia area is still susceptible to STDs such as syphilis even if a condom is used per manufacturer and medical instructions.

If anyone has tested positive for any type of STD, it is imperative to halt all sexual acts until they receive appropriate medical treatment. Except for AIDS, there are treatments for all other STDs and the earlier treatment is received, the better the outcome for the patient. While there are complete cures for a variety of these diseases, some can only be managed through treatment.

The biggest concern medical professionals have regarding STDs is the various complications that can arise. Sometimes infected men may become impotent or experience erectile dysfunction and women can suffer from infertility. Both genders may feel pain and other abnormal sensations while urinating. Other STD symptoms may include blisters, itching, tenderness, and severe pain around affected areas of the body.

It is possible to control the spread of STDs through proper, accurate education. However, since many sexual transmitted diseases stay dormant for months to years from the time of infection, once the visual signs are noticeable, the disease may have spread to dozens of other people so those who are sexually active should always get tested for STDs.

Separating 6 STD Truths From the Myths


There is a minefield of myth and rumour out there when it comes to STDs and STD testing. Here, we deal only in the facts, putting some of the most common misconceptions to bed for good.

Myth No. 1:

You can tell that somebody has an STD just by looking at them.

Truth:

Many of the most common STDs have very limited symptoms, and some are even symptomless. As such, there is no way that you could tell somebody had an STD just by looking at them. In fact, as the majority of STDs are detectable only by STD testing, there are many people who are unaware that they are infected. The limited and unobvious nature of STD symptoms means that it is very important to ensure that you take a regular STD test.

Myth No. 2:

Being on the contraceptive pill means that I am protected from STDs.

Truth:

This is 100% wishful thinking. Birth control pills can prevent you from getting pregnant, but they cannot keep you safe from sexually transmitted diseases. If you're on the pill, be sure to be doubly safe and use a condom as well. If you have a long term partner and want to rely only on the pill, be sure that you continue using condoms until you have both taken an STD test.

Myth No. 3:

I can't get an STD if I'm pregnant.

Truth:

Contrary to popular belief, pregnancy does not offer any protection from STDs. The chances of contracting an STD are just as high for pregnant women as for anybody else, but the consequences are much more severe. STDs during pregnancy can lead to complications such as the onset of early labour, and the STDs can affect the baby in some cases. If you are thinking of trying for a baby, it is advisable to get an STD test before you begin.

Myth No. 4:

You can catch STDs from toilet seats.

Truth:

There have been no proven cases of STDs being transmitted from a toilet seat. The majority of sexually transmitted diseases can only be caught via sexual activity or via the blood. The most common exception to this rule is the Herpes virus, however the virus is fragile and will not survive on a surface such as a toilet seat.

Myth No. 5

STDs can make me infertile.

Truth:

Unfortunately this is not a myth. About ten per cent of women who have contracted either Chlamydia or Gonorrhea will develop Pelvic Inflammatory Disease which can later result in infertility. Regular STD testing can catch the infections before PID develops.

Myth No. 6

All STDs can be cured.

Truth:

Sadly, not all STDs can be cured. A course of antibiotics can clear up diseases such as Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Syphilis relatively quickly. However there are other STDs that cannot be treated. The most serious of these is HIV which can later develop into AIDS, which leads to immune deficiency. However, less severe STDs such as Herpes and Hepatitis are also incurable and will stay with you for life. Though not all diseases can be cured, it is important that they are identified through STD testing so that they are not spread any further.

With so many rumours afoot about sexually transmitted infections, it is often hard to separate the truth from the myths. However it is much better to be safe than sorry, undertake STD testing rather than believing everything you read.

STD Symptoms and What They Mean


For many people, a night out on the town can start in a bar and end in a hotel room. You may go on your way after that, thinking nothing of it until the person you were with calls you to suggest that you get checked, or you begin to notice certain symptoms that make you think you may have an STD. Nobody wants to be randomly tested, so how do you know what STD symptoms are? There is a common set of symptoms that many STDs exhibit, so here are a few to look out for.

The most commonly noticed symptom is a rash that is centered around the genitals and is often associated by an itch that seems to burn. This can also be a precursor to sores, blisters or welts in this area. It can be very annoying as it really can't be scratched to relieve the itching.

Another of the STD symptoms that can frequently be present is a difficulty in urination or a burning sensation while urinating. Many viral STD infections cause the urethral lining to become inflamed, which causes this burning sensation or the difficulty in urination. These types of symptoms are also common with other infections, such as bladder or prostate infections, so they are not conclusive and should be tested to determine the cause. If you have burning or difficulty in urinating, you may want to look for some of the other common symptoms.

One of the hardest STD symptoms to determine is swelling or tenderness of the genitals, because it can occur for a wide variety of reasons, not just as an indicator of an STD. Usually, if you have this symptom, you will want to look for other common symptoms to help you make a better determination.

One of the most noticeable STD symptoms can be a discharge or pus from the vagina or urethra. It is often the first symptom to be noticed and reported. However, pus and discharge can be symptoms of other infections and conditions as well.

The main thing to understand here is that if you have any question that you may have contracted an STD, and you have one or more of these symptoms, you should not ignore the possibilities. Getting tested early can confirm the condition and help you to avoid further problems. Although there is no cure for some STDs, there is treatment for many of them and you will want to know in order to protect yourself and others.

STD Testing No's For Doctors - When Your Doctor Rules Out an STD Exam


There is a lot of literature available about the importance and significance of getting tested for sexually transmitted disease on a regular basis and more often than not, a physician will encourage patients to undergo routine STD testing to ensure a clean bill of reproductive health, but sometimes the situation becomes less than simple. Physicians will contraindicate performing STD testing on their patients on occasion, or will inform patients about risk related information about each diagnostic process that a patient may wish to undergo when it comes to STD testing.

The following are some of the most common rationale why physicians may opt out on a routine sexually transmitted disease testing process for a patient. It also explains why reliable STD testing doesn't mean STD tests all the time, but a timely and accurate diagnosis point is more important depending on lifestyle and patient history:

Health Practitioners always follow screening protocol- The set of guidelines employed by medical associations are there for a reason. The goal of a screening guideline is to maximize the diagnosis accuracy and target high risk groups to ensure the conservation of time, money and resources. There are many markers that can categorize a person to belong in a high risk group mainly multiple sex partnerships, a history of unprotected sex, strong sexual activity and starting new intimate relationships. These are some good reasons why a physician should ignore the screening guideline so it's important to inform the doctor if you fall into any of these categories.

Physicians may not have the resources to conduct specific STD testing- Some STD testing processes require specific laboratory equipment which may not be available to your local hospital or practitioner clinic. If you require or need to be tested for a specific sexually transmitted disease and your physician does not have the tools to diagnose then he normally opts not to perform it, your solution is to get a referral or second opinion in a neighboring hospital or practice. For example, a Trichomoniasis exam requires special bacterial culture treatment and not all doctors' offices carry the materials and technology to carry out the diagnostic procedure.

Physicians have not updated their screening guidelines for a specific sexually transmitted disease- Just when you think you should be tested for a sexually transmitted disease, the CDC may have other recommendations and your doctor ends up refusing to give you the diagnostic procedure. This may be because physicians understand individual risk factors associated with each STD testing process that the CDC and you have overlooked, it can also be that his guidelines for diagnosis and treatment are not updated.

Is Getting Tested For STDs Really Necessary?


Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are more than just small annoyances. Depending on the disease, it can be life changing. STDs are becoming more and more common in our society today because people are engaging in unprotected sex outside of marriage on a larger scale than in the past. Being sexually active with multiple partners without protection (despite your sexual orientation) can lead to Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphillis, oral and genital Herpes, Hepatitis, and in some cases HIV. If you think you might have an STD of any kind, then it is important to take part in STD testing to ensure the safety of yourself and future partners.

One of the best ways to know if you should get STD testing is if you are experiencing any symptoms that are related to STDs. There are a lot of different symptoms that can occur, depending on the disease, but some of the most common include blisters and sores on the genitals, irritation and itching, unusual discharges, swelling and painful areas, and bleeding. These STDs can cause some serious physical problems that are both painful and hinder the overall function of your body. Along with the side effects that occur in the genital area, you might also experience nausea and vomiting, headaches, diarrhea, malaise, and much more. If you have contracted a disease like HIV then it could possibly end up being

fatal if you don't catch it early enough. Keep in mind that even though you don't have any obvious symptoms you could still have an STD.

One of the things to remember about STDs is that there are emotional side effects as well as physical side effects. Contracting an STD can lead to serious self image problems and a loss of confidence in relationships. You may feel that no one will ever love you because you feel "broken". There are serious self confidence and trust issues that will have to be overcome in order for you to feel like you can get back out into the dating scene and find another partner.

When you decide to get STD testing you will find that you have a few different options. You can get online and go to reliable sites and even get take home tests. There are also clinics set up so that you can go and get help without the embarrassment of going to your family doctor or having other people find out.

If you might be at risk of an STD then get tested as soon as possible. You will want to make sure that you start getting medical attention and that you aren't spreading it around to others. Not only that, you can start working your way back to an emotionally healthy state where you can be open and honest with your partners, and practice proper protection.

Afraid of STD Testing? Be More Afraid of Ignoring the Symptoms


After that entertaining and memorable night in the back room of the bar with the four members of the Norwegian delegation of the international association of Hooters waitresses you probably feel like a real stud. It was a night that every man dreams of. In fact, the bartender was so impressed with your performance he wants to put your cowboy boots on the shelf above the bar as a tribute to your incredible abilities as a man, neigh a god among men, and also to celebrate a bought of sexual Olympics that will go down in history almost as epic.

However, now a week later you know two supremely serious things to be a reality. First you know that the pool table at the bar will probably never shoot level again, and furthermore every time you urinate it burns like wildfire. You may deep down know that you want to go to a clinic to undertake some form of STD testing, but you are afraid of hearing the truth that you may get back positive results. You know that STD testing is a critical process that can possible save your life; but still you are reluctant to go and talk to someone. Instead, you are pleased to take your chances that the pins and needles feeling that runs the entire length of your penis with every emptying of your bladder is just a coincidence. You tell yourself that the girls all looked healthy, so there is nothing to worry about. You may very well be correct but without proper STD testing you will never know for sure and, therefore, you are putting your own self at risk as well as putting your future sex partners at risk.

So there are a few things that you will need to know before you step foot inside your doctor's office for STD testing. The first thing that you need to remember is more to stop the embarrassment than anything else. Do not brag to the doctor about your feat. Now getting back to things to expect when going for STD testing. Remember that not all STD testing tasks are done for men and women. There are specific tests that only apply to men and certain ones that are for women. If you are sure that the people who you set new feats, and discovered new positions with are under 25, then get tested for the most common of STD's, gonorrhea and Chlamydia. These are the two most commonly passed STD's that men need to worry about.

When this test is done you will have the inside of your penis swabbed. This will then be sent to a laboratory to be analyzed. Your doctor may also elect to have you do a urine analysis to provide additional STD testing for these two. This is a vital check to have done as this can detect a problem before there is one. There are several other diseases that you can be tested for during your STD testing, these use almost the same procedures as the two mentioned here. This I hope will teach you a lesson that next time wear protection before you aspire to perform original and remarkable feats.

The Symptoms of HIV in Both Men and Women


HIV is a type of virus that attacks and weakens the cells of the immune system of those who are infected. If left untreated, the disease will eventually progress into AIDS. Bodily fluids, such as vaginal fluids, semen, or blood is a receptacle of the virus. Since the virus cannot survive for long periods outside the body, the virus needs to be transmitted by having an infected person's bodily fluids inside his/her body. The virus enters the body via the bloodstream or through the mucous membranes of the rectum, urethra, or vagina, as well as the mouth.

The initial symptoms show after being infected vary between genders. HIV symptoms in men may include, but may not be limited to, fever as well as headaches of a periodic though mild nature may be experienced, though these are no different from normal symptoms of some slight ailments we normally experience. The male may notice a marked swelling of his lymph glands---the glands located in his groin, neck, or armpits. One of these areas may swell, though it does not normally bring discomfort or pain. As with the former, this may be misdiagnosed as signs of other conditions.

Another signs of probable HIV symptoms in men is a dramatic change in their stamina or energy level. Fatigue and unexplainable tiredness may be experienced, though it is usually mistaken for fatigue or stress from over-exertion or a hectic work schedule.

Originally, more men were infected with HIV than women, yet a large number of women today account for the greater number of new HIV cases, and it is slowly on the rise. AIDS ranks next to heart disease and cancer as one of the main ailments which cause death in women. African-American women, especially those of the younger generation are more largely affected, compared to older African-Americans. HIV symptoms in women remain asymptomatic for a long period of time, usually taking three years or more before manifesting symptoms.

HIV symptoms in women usually involve persistent recurrences of vaginal infections, among which include yeast infections. PID or pelvic inflammatory disease, as well as abnormalities in their pap smears are also common symptoms, followed by ulcers or genital warts.

Abnormalities in the natural rhythm of their monthly cycles are also signs of HIV infection. A series of missed periods, discounting the possibility of pregnancy, is one notable abnormality. In the long run, the infected female may cease to have any periods at all. Within a couple of weeks, the infected female may feel flu-like symptoms, aches and pains in various parts of the body, fever, tiredness, and sore throat. These are sigs of the body trying to fend off the infection. Weight loss due to frequent diarrhea or loss of appetite may also occur.

Once any or all of these symptoms occur, the best course of action one can take is to contact a medical professional and schedule an HIV testing session. Getting an HIV test isn't at all dreadful, and one shouldn't worry about expense or the possibility of embarrassment. There are a great number of HIV testing clinics which offer quick, reliable, affordable, and most of all confidential tests. Getting an HIV test is not only a boon for your health, but it could also benefit those who might become victims of the disease due to your being unaware of them catching it from you.

HIV Symptoms in Men and Women --- though they vary in symptoms, one should still be sufficiently informed of it. Learn more about the symptoms of this disease and other pertinent information and get yourself protected.

Trichomoniasis STD Symptoms


Trichomoniasis is the most common curable sexually transmitted disease (STD) among men and women. It is often called "trich". This disease is caused by protozoan known as trichomonas vaginalis and is spread through sexual intercourse or even just sexual contact. Vaginal, anal or oral intercourse can transmit the disease from one person to another. Women can get the disease from both men and women while men get it only from their female sex partners. The parasite that can be transmitted through sexual contact may also live in towels, clothing and bedding.

Trichomoniasis has been reported in up to 7.4 million cases each year in the US. Although both men and women can contract the STD, women are at a higher risk. Most individuals become infected of this STD between 16 to 35 years old. If this disease is left untreated, the indications or symptoms may become awfully unpleasant and may even do damage to your health. Women with untreated trichomoniasis develop a greater risk to acquiring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Generally, only women experience the symptoms of trichomoniasis. Even if men are infected with the disease, they most often do not show any symptoms of the STD. A large percentage, around 60%, of the women who have trich will go through some indications of the disease. These normally come into sight within 5 to 28 days of infection. In some cases, it takes up to 6 months before symptoms develop.

Women with trich are likely to experience vaginal discharge with color of either gray or yellow-green. This vaginal secretion will be frothy or bubbly and will be far from being aromatic. The labia may become swollen and the vagina will appear to be redder than the usual. Other symptoms may include pain and burning when you're urinating and sexual intercourse. A less general indicator of this STD is lower abdominal pain; it occurs only in about 10% of infected women. These symptoms do not disappear until they are treated by prescription drugs.

Men do not commonly exhibit indications of trichomoniasis. The parasite that causes the infection stays in the urethra (urinary tract) of men that makes the symptoms rare and diagnosis much harder. Around 40% of infected men will go through very mild symptoms. The symptoms of this STD on men are a tingling sensation in their penis and pain during urination and sexual intercourse. There may also be an evidence of white discharge from the penis. Symptoms of the disease in men are likely to disappear within a few weeks, but this does not mean that they cannot infect their sex partners anymore. Men will continue to infect women if their infection is left untreated.

If the condition is left uncured, trich can last for a number of years. An infected person will find the infections extremely uncomfortable and may also increase his or her risk for various infections. Men are at greater risks to develop penis infection, urethritis and prostate problems while women increase their chance to acquire HIV infection. In order to be completely sure that you don't have trichomoniasis, you should be sure to get tested every now and then.

The Common STDs of Today


As the common articles you would find about STDs, it talks about how it is common in the society and how it can infect us anytime, stories of its possible complications and possibility to cause medical conditions if left untreated, but less do we read about what specific kinds of STD is really out there to hunt us, what STD is found most common lurking in the society. Here in this article you will read all about these common STDs in the society, so that you will be aware and you can equip yourselves against it.

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is a STD, but with several debates on whether it should be considered one or not. Bacterial Vaginosis is not transmittable through sexual intercourse but sexual activity can exacerbate the manifestation of this infection and it is found to be more common in sexually active women. The imbalance of the normal healthy bacteria in the vagina is the cause of this infection, though it is significantly harmless, it can cause an unpleasant smell in the genitals and discharges that has a fishy smell.

The cause of the bacterial imbalance that causes Bacterial Vaginosis is not yet established, but medical suggestions would implicate that the male partner's semen is the one that could have possibly caused it. The semen of the male partner could have dislodged the acidic nature of the vaginal bacteria thus causing the imbalance. In favor to men, BV cannot be transmitted to a man. But nonetheless BV must not be taking for granted as the infection may crawl up to the uterus and fallopian tubes and can cause serious medical conditions. BV is treatable, its treatment is quite simple, and treating BV is only through the application of cream to the vagina or the intake of antibiotics.

Chlamydia is the next big thing in STDs that everyone has heard of. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease that is found most common; it is caused by trachomatis bacterium. The urethra and the rectum in both sexes, and the cervix for women can be affected by the Chlamydia infection. Infertility can be the worst case scenario for untreated Chlamydial infection.

Though a lot of the sexually transmitted disease that are listed are curable due to medical advancements, and some that are not are made manageable, but there are still some that we can do nothing about at all. These STD is AIDS, though treatments are available to slow down the progression of the disease, still eventually, the person infected will die.

Those were just bits of the many things you should let yourself know of to be ready and equipped against these diseases.

Common STDs- there are a lot of STDs out there, but a bigger chance is left for you to get infected with the common STDs, so gather up all information you need and be ready.

Accurate STD Testing For Herpes and Information About This Sexually Transmitted Disease


Herpes is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in both men and women. Despite this, there are a huge percentage of undiagnosed cases when it comes to herpes primarily because of asymptomatic conditions in many carriers. People can go one for years without feeling any symptoms that might indicate a herpetic infection and this becomes a problem especially if they lead a sexually active lifestyle and engage in multiple partners. Late diagnosis of herpes because of this is fairly common normally when the herpes has spread or has cause considerable reproductive damage to the person carrying the virus.

Another consideration is the presence of symptoms but in the form of mild episodes that a person who carries Herpes does not assume it as being such. Some of these manifestations can be simple flu like symptoms such as headache, aching joints and fatigue.

For those people who actually experience pronounced STD symptoms can include swollen lymph nodes in the inguinal area which are often tender and may feel like enlarged peas on the surface of the skin upon examination. Sores can become present on the genital area, most often on both sides while painful urination, severe itching and pustulent discharges from the penis and vagina are also notable.

Herpetic sores normally begin as blisters that group in clusters. The blister stage doesn't stay on for long and eventually break open to form ulcers on the skin's mucous membrane with scabs and crust forming on top of the ulcer and eventually fall off healing the tissue. The prominence of sores in the cervical lining of women is evident as well as herpetic sores in the urethral passage for men. Once the infected cells slough off the inner cervical lining and penis, they cause a noticeable discharge and is a common std symptom for herpes. A new string of herpetic clump appears within a week after the first emergence has healed and lasts about two to three weeks of outbreak.

If a carrier has had previous exposure to oral herpes then chances are that antibodies present from the previous herpetic infection will cease the onset of symptomatic manifestations for the genital herpes. Sores may cover a smaller area and generalized symptoms may have a lesser occurrence, recovery and convalescence is also shortened.

It can be difficult to make a realistic diagnosis of a herpes infection by merely looking at the sores. Sores can have a different look and may be anything from a small crack or fissure to redness without the prominence of broken skin. Utilizing accurate STD testing when it comes to herpes is the most effective way of getting proper diagnosis. A culture swab of the sore by far is one of the most reliable and accurate STD testing processes for the detection and classification of herpes. A polymerase chain reaction or PCR which is similar to a culture can also be done but is more expensive than a traditional swab. To be sure about the type of herpes, using accurate STD testing in the form of a blood test may be recommended by a health practitioner from an STD clinic.

STD Symptoms - What to Watch For


Sexually transmitted diseases are generally transmitted through sexual contact, but infected needles might be a cause also. Apart from that, it can be transmitted from mother to child, or infected blood transfusion. People who are sexually active having multiple partners are more prone to get infected. Symptoms are never taken seriously in these cases as most people do not realize that they are infected unless it becomes severe. You need to get tested regularly so you know about our own sexual health and take steps to cure the disease if any.

Look Out For These Symptoms

Symptoms for the STDs vary from case to case, but most common include painful urination, rashes, itchy sensation in the pubic region, sometimes flaky skin too. You might feel that it is taboo to talk about STDs and feel embarrassed to visit a doctor too. A visit to an STD clinic becomes necessary if men experience tiny painful sores on the penis, sometimes accompanied with flu like symptoms and swollen glands, which are commonly mistaken for insect bites may turn out to be herpes. Gonorrhea and chlamydia have other symptoms, such as, painful urination and intercourse. Burning, itching sensations around the genitals is also evident. Swelling of the testicles and abnormal discharge, and bleeding in the anus if indulging in anal sex too is a symptom also.

Women tend to experience painful urination and intercourse, bleeding in between the menstrual cycle and sore throat too can be signs. All these symptoms can be mistaken for some other disease and that is why they are so dangerous. Flaky skin and lice in the pubic area leaving bluish marks too are signs to be wary about. Regular testing and early treatment is the solution for a healthy and happy sexual life. When treated on time, the ailments can be cured. HIV too can be kept in control with proper care.

What You Need To Know About HIV Symptoms


For the last several decades we have read about the terrible affliction called AIDS. What many people do not know is that AIDS is in fact the last part of the illness called HIV. HIV means human immunodeficiency virus. It's an unsightly name for a terribly ugly disease. In the following paragraphs we'll investigate the symptoms that occur in the various levels of HIV in order to better advise anybody with an interest in this condition.

Consequently, the following is an explanation of HIV symptoms as they appear in the four phases.

HIV Symptoms Stage Number One: Incubation

This initial phase normally lasts 2 to 4 weeks. It is almost impossible to know if an individual is in the incubation phase since there are no symptoms, to speak of. However rest assured, there are symptoms on the horizon. It is recommended that the patient seek medical assistance at this stage if they suspect they might be infected. A home test package is often a beneficial first start.

HIV Symptoms Stage Number Two: Acute Infection

This stage typically lasts 28 days or so. The symptoms that were nonexistent in stage I will turn out to be prevalent with this stage. Symptoms like a high fever, sore throat, muscle pain, and rashes throughout the body (as well as the mouth) are common. The distress is beginning to manifest itself at this stage, however there is a lot more to come.

HIV Symptoms Stage Number Three: Latency

For whatever reason, and there's no medical explanation as of this time, the signs and symptoms diminish to some degree during this period. The sufferer may believe that his troubles are over, but regrettably the worst is yet to come. Latency may range from two weeks to even two decades, for those fortunate ones

HIV Symptoms Stage Number Four: AIDS

When the onset of AIDS begins, the patient suffering increases exponentially. The medical term to describe the difficulties of AIDS is known as opportunistic infections. How this works, essentially, is your body no longer can protect itself against viral attacks. Sufferers who reach the AIDS's stage will find themselves experiencing any number of illnesses. For instance cervical cancer, lymphomas, along with a truly awful disease called Kaposi. Kaposi manifests itself with circular, brownish or purple spots on the skin and/or inside the mouth. Once the victim has experienced these problems, there's really nothing that can be done on their behalf. Medical science could only try to minimize discomfort whenever possible while the individual gradually and agonizingly passes away.

Conclusion:

Every one of us hope and pray that a solution can be found for this horrible condition. The quantity of human suffering brought on by HIV is genuinely heartbreaking. However there are actions that may be applied to decrease the suffering, so if you or somebody you love encounters HIV symptoms, make sure you seek medical help.

STDs may start with an itch, blistering, redness, soreness around the area of the genitals, a burning or stinging sensation when urinating, a frequent urge to urinate at a moments notice, a white, yellow, or green discharge from either the penis or the vagina, a strong smell coming from the genital area even after washing, sore throats, mouth blisters, chills or fevers, swellings, continual headaches, or continuous aches and pains, etc.

What Should I Do if I Have Symptoms of a STD?

If you have had sex with someone who you think may have a STD, or you have STD symptoms yourself, then it is advisable to get checked out at a STD clinic as soon a possible.

Can STDs Be Caught from Same Sex Partners?

Yes! STDs can be caught from a partner of the same-sex. "Having Sex" means where there is an exchange of body fluids between two people. This includes, giving or receiving oral or anal sex with either a man or woman, and vaginal sex with a woman. No erection is necessary to catch a STD, as most are highly contagious.

What Precautions Can I Take so as Not to Catch an STD?

1. Always use either a male or female condom if you think that your partner may be at risk of having caught a STD. Never use cheap condoms as they are usually prone to either break or burst.

2. Always use a condom with new partners, or partners that are sexually active with other people.

3. Avoid having sex with high risk partners or prostitutes.

4. Do not inject yourself with drugs, or share needles and syringes.

5. Avoid getting drunk or taking drugs, as you are more likely to take chances with sex.

Are There Any Long Term Effects from Catching STDs?

Catching a STD can result in long-term health problems for both the man and the woman alike. If a STD is either not treated soon after it is caught, or even not treated at all, then there may be a future risk of suffering some degree of problem with childbirth.

Identifying STD Symptoms


Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) are becoming very common, with more and more people getting infected with these diseases. Prevention is still the best way to avoid these diseases, but for those who are already suffering from such, early treatment is necessary to avoid complications. Learn about the different STD symptoms so that you will be able to seek treatment immediately.

There are different types of sexually transmitted diseases and these too have varying STD symptoms. The most common STDs are Chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, HIV, trichomoniasis, genital warts and syphilis. Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted disease and it is usually difficult to diagnose because there are very few STD symptoms. Some of the common manifestations include painful urination, pain at the lower abdomen, vaginal or penis discharge, pain during sexual intercourse for women and testicular pain for men.

Syphilis is a bacterial infection that is easily transmitted and even infected women can pass it to their unborn children. There are four stages in which the STD symptoms can occur. For the primary stage, the manifestations include enlarged lymph nodes and the presence of small painless sores on the genitals, mouth or rectum. During the secondary stage, there will be rashes with red or brown marks in any area of the body, fever, fatigue, soreness and body aches. For the latent phase, there are no STD symptoms present. When you are not treated and you go into the tertiary stage, you will have different internal organ damages, neurological and cardiovascular problems.

Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus. Its STD symptoms include open sores or blisters, pain or itching at the genital area and small red bumps may appear later on. These bumps will eventually rupture and turn to ulcers that bleed and ooze. These are usually accompanied by painful urination and sometimes, flu-like manifestations. Meanwhile, genital warts are also very common and are caused by HPV or human papillomavirus. Manifestations include the presence of small gray swellings at the genital area, itching and discomfort, warts that have a cauliflower shape and bleeding during sexual intercourse. These can also occur at the mouth if you had oral sex with an infected person.

Gonorrhea is also a common form of STD with symptoms that usually appear during the first ten days after exposure to the disease. The STD symptoms include having a burning sensation during urination, thick and cloudy discharge from the vagina or penis, painful sexual intercourse and frequent urination. Meanwhile, trichomoniasis signs and symptoms are vaginal discharge that is greenish yellow in color, itching at the vagina and having a strong odor, light vaginal bleeding and pain during intercourse. Lastly, HIV is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. Its manifestations are fever, headache, rashes, fatigue, sore throat and swelling of the lymph glands during the early stage. Symptoms during the late stage include weight loss, diarrhea, shortness of breath, extreme fatigue, night sweats, chills and persistent headache.

Once you experience any of the STD symptoms that were mentioned above, it is important for you to have yourself be checked immediately. These symptoms will get worse without treatment and some of the diseases are even fatal. To increase your chances of recovery, go to a doctor for proper assessment and diagnosis. You will then be directed about the certain treatment methods that you are going to need.

When you are able to identify the different STD symptoms, you will know if you or someone you know is suffering from sexually transmitted diseases. You will then be able to have early treatment which prevents the disease from getting worse.

Chlamydia Symptoms - Complications When Left Untreated


Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) and a bacterial infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. Most of the time, it manifests no symptoms, that is why it is called "The Silent Disease." Statistics show that 75% of women and 50% of men infected with Chlamydia do not manifest symptoms. Chlamydia infects over 3 million people every year in the United States, which is why it is known as the most common occurring STD. The treatment should start as soon as possible, and when detected early, cure can be easily administered using antibiotics. Untreated infection can lead to infertility and damage to the reproductive system.

If you are infected with Chlamydia, there is a high chance that you would not manifest symptoms. This is because Chlamydia symptoms are usually mild and cannot be easily noticed. More women experience few or no symptoms of Chlamydia infection, although some men who are infected may also exhibit no symptoms. Chlamydia symptoms usually manifest one to three weeks after acquiring infection, though sometimes, it takes a longer period before they appear.

Early signs of Chlamydia are usually mild such as pain while urinating, frequent urination, and mild fever. As it goes undetected, symptoms can be more intense such as nausea, abnormal vaginal or penis discharge, and fatigue. Oral sex can also be a cause for Chlamydia and can lead to sore throat and other throat infections. Swelling and soreness of the rectum can occur if the disease is transmitted through anal sex. Men may experience swelling of the testicles, though this happens rarely. In women, the symptoms are lower back pain, abdominal pain, irregular menstrual bleeding or spotting, and pain during sex.

You should request for an immediate test if you suspect that you may be infected with Chlamydia since it is crucial that the infection be treated at the earliest time possible because prolonged exposure can lead to complications to the reproductive organs. Visiting an STD Clinic during this time is very vital to stop the possible growth of the disease.

Chlamydia can progress through the body if left untreated, leading to more serious health problems. Chlamydia can cause eye, throat, and rectal infections if not treated immediately. Long-term exposure to the disease can cause damage to the fallopian tubes and uterus in women, and may cause infertility in men. Women with Chlamydia also have higher risk for having Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), which can cause problems in fertility.

Around 500 000 PID cases in the U.S. alone are caused by Chlamydia infection. Among those infected, 100 000 women experienced infertility. Women with Chlamydia are also prone to having an ectopic pregnancy. On the other hand, men who are infected may develop epididymitis, which can result to sterility.

Pregnant women who suspect that they are infected must get tested immediately because Chlamydia infection is dangerous to newborns. Infected persons are also at higher risk of contracting HIV. Women with Chlamydia are five times at higher chance of acquiring HIV which leads to AIDS. Rarely, Chlamydia can cause a disease called Reiter's syndrome, which causes skin lesions, arthritis, and inflammation of the urethra and eyes.

The Most Common STD Symptoms


We all have been there in our life. We believe that we are ten feet tall and bullet proof. This is proven every time that we go out to the bar, we sit there have a few drinks and hours later are on the arms of a lovely lady. We wake up the next morning go home and go about our day. Then one of two things happen, we either get the phone call from this woman telling us we need to get checked. We get a rash or a number of other symptoms that make us think we have an STD. This makes our hookup that we had a lot more of a problem than we first thought. But how do we know without testing if we have an STD? This article is designed to give you a heads up as to whether or not you and your doctor need to have a chat. Many STD's share a common set of basic symptoms. Let's look at some of these STD symptoms in particular.

Rash, Itching, Burning

This is an extremely common occurrence among STD symptoms. The rash is usually centered around the genitals and is often accompanied by a burning itch which is unstretchable as it id under the surface of the skin. Most of the time this is a precursor to an outbreak of welts, sores or blisters.

Burning or Difficulty During Urination

Burning and difficulty in urination are both common STD symptoms. This comes from the inflammation of the urethral lining which is prevalent with most viral STD infections. This is among the STD symptoms which are indicative from most sufferers of an STD infection. The problem is that this is not only on the list of STD symptoms but is also common with many other infections especially infections of the bladder and infections of the prostate in men.

Pus or Discharge from the Vagina or Urethra

This is among the most noticeable of the common STD symptoms, and aside from burning or difficulty in urination this is usually the first of the STD symptoms to be reported by the infected person. As with burning or difficulty in urination, it should be noted that not all instances of Pus or Discharge from the Vagina or Urethra are indicative of STD symptoms. Pus or Discharge from the Vagina or Urethra is also a common symptom of other uro-genital infections and conditions that are not sexually transmitted disease related.

Swelling or Tenderness of the Genitals

When it comes to common STD symptoms this is perhaps the hardest one to notice. In men it is not uncommon for there to be swelling or tenderness in the penis and testicles for a wide variety of reasons, in women the genitals are not as easily indicative of swelling or tenderness. If you suspect that you may have been infected with a sexually transmitted disease based upon swelling or tenderness of the genitals, look for other common STD symptoms in conjunction with this.
