Clinics in Dehradun

What will happen during my appointment at the Dehradun sexual health clinic?

When you arrive at Better2Know’s sexual health clinic in Dehradun, you will be greeted by reception and be shown to a private consultation room, where a nurse will take your sample. The samples you give will depend on your chosen screen or test. Your appointment will usually take no longer than 10-15 minutes. During the consultation, you can ask the nurse any questions you may have about the testing process.

Your sample will be sent to our accredited laboratory for analysis. Depending on the test or screen, this process will take between 1 to 7 days. When your results are ready, they will be uploaded to your secure online Patient Area. You will also receive notification of your results by SMS or email. Better2Know will help you access the medication and care you will need if you test positive.

What are the symptoms of STIs?

Symptoms of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) vary depending on which one you have. Most men and women with an STI do not have any symptoms.  If you do have symptoms, then many different STIs share common symptoms, but need different treatment.  You cannot diagnose an STI based on symptoms alone.  It is important to get tested at your nearest sexual health clinic in Dehradun if you have symptoms or have had sex with a new partner so that you can get the right treatment.

The most common symptoms of venereal disease include:

• Unusual discharge from the penis, vagina, or anus

• Pain during urination

• Pain during sexual intercourse

• Sores, blisters, bumps, or rashes on the genitals, rectum, or mouth

• Itching or irritation around the genital area

• Abdominal pain

• Fever or flu-like symptoms

• Swelling or tenderness in the genital area

• Unexplained weight loss

• In women: unusual vaginal bleeding, particularly after sex

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important that you get tested. Better2Know provides you with confidential and convenient STI testing in Dehradun.  We will get you fast results to answer all your sexual health concerns.

Can I get an STI if I did not have sex?

Yes, it is possible to contract an STI without sexual intercourse. While sexual intercourse is the most common transmission method, some STIs can be contracted through non-sexual means. Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Herpes and Syphilis are all high risk for being passed on through oral and anal sex.  HIV is high risk for being passed on through anal sex.

Herpes and the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can be spread through skin-to-skin contact.  This means that any contact with a blister or sore can pass on the virus. HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C can be contracted through any blood-to-blood contact, this includes sex, sharing needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment, needle stick injuries, through tears in the skin, or from mother to child during childbirth.

It is vital to understand that while sexual activity increases the risk of contracting an STI, abstaining from intercourse does not completely eliminate the risk. Regular STI testing with Better2Know in Dehradun is recommended regardless of your sexual activity to ensure optimal sexual health.

Syphilis testing in Dehradun

Once thought to be fairly rare in modern times, Syphilis infections are on the rise around the world and in Dehradun. Regular testing for Syphilis in sexually active people will help reduce the spread.

Syphilis can cause serious harm to your health if it is not caught early enough. Identifying the infection can be difficult because Syphilis can often be mistaken for other, less serious infections, meaning most people will not seek medical attention when they have symptoms.
