Sexually Transmitted Infections
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are infections that are primarily spread through sexual contact. These infections can affect anyone who is sexually active, regardless of age or gender. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to preventing long-term health complications and stopping the spread of STIs.
At Surabhi Medical Hall, we are committed to providing comprehensive care and confidential support for individuals affected by STIs. Our goal is to ensure your sexual health and well-being through education, prevention, diagnosis, and effective treatment.
STIs can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Common STIs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes, HIV/AIDS, and trichomoniasis. Symptoms of STIs can vary widely depending on the infection and may include unusual discharge from the genitals, painful urination, sores or bumps on the genitals, itching, and pain during intercourse.
Some STIs can be asymptomatic, meaning you may not experience any noticeable symptoms but can still transmit the infection to others.
Diagnosing an STI typically involves a physical examination and laboratory tests, such as urine samples, blood tests, and swabs of genital secretions. These tests help to identify the specific infection and determine the most appropriate course of treatment.
Treatment for STIs varies depending on the type of infection. Bacterial STIs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, are usually treated with antibiotics. Viral STIs, like herpes and HIV, cannot be cured, but their symptoms can be managed with antiviral medications. It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s treatment plan and take all prescribed medications to ensure the infection is fully treated and to prevent complications.
In addition to treatment, we provide education on safe sexual practices to help prevent the spread of STIs. This includes information on using condoms, regular STI screening, and open communication with sexual partners about STI status and prevention strategies.
At Surabhi Medical Hall, we understand the importance of confidentiality and sensitivity when dealing with sexual health issues. Our team is here to provide you with non-judgmental support, ensuring you feel comfortable and respected throughout your care.
