Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
STDs (sometimes called STIs) are infections that are passed from one person to another through sexual contact. These infections are very common, and many can be treated successfully. However, if left untreated, some STDs can lead to serious health complications for both men and women.
The Importance of Testing
The symptoms of STDs can often be similar to those of other urological problems (like UTIs or prostatitis). In many cases, there are no noticeable symptoms at all. Regular screening is the only way to know your status for sure.
Common STDs
We provide comprehensive testing and treatment for various infections, including:
- Chlamydia & Gonorrhea: Often occur without symptoms but can lead to infertility if untreated.
- Human Papillomavirus (HPV): The most common STD; some strains can lead to genital warts or cancer.
- Herpes (HSV): A viral infection that can cause sores, though many have no signs.
- Syphilis: A bacterial infection that progresses in stages and requires early treatment.
Confidential Care
At Allied Urology, we prioritize your privacy and provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for sexual health services. Evaluation usually involves:
- A review of symptoms and medical history.
- Urine tests or blood work.
- Physical examination of the genital area.
- Swabs of affected areas if sores or discharge are present.
