Clinics in Nashik

Is it true that some STIs have no symptoms?

Yes. Often STIs do not present any symptoms such as itching, soreness when urinating or during sex, flu-like symptoms, or unusual discharge. Symptoms, if they do appear, can vary between different people and different STIs. Some common STI infections such as Chlamydia can present no symptoms at all. Around 90% of men and 70% of women who are infected with Chlamydia will never show any symptoms. 

Because of this, it is important that you test regularly for STIs in Nashik. Regular testing at your local Better2Know clinic in Nashik will provide you with the health information you need to keep yourself, and your sexual partners safe from symptomless STIs.

STIs such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, HIV, Syphilis, Herpes, Hepatitis A, B and C are just a few common STIs that can present with no symptoms in the early stages of infection. No matter where you are, even in Nashik, the risk of catching one of these infections is high.  Regular testing is the only way to protect your sexual health.

Chlamydia testing in Nashik

Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in Nashik.  That is why getting tested for it is important, as many people have it.  It is easily transmitted between sexual partners during vaginal, oral, or anal sex.

Most men and women who have a Chlamydia infection do not have any symptoms in the first few months.  However, in this time, Chlamydia can cause serious damage to your health and fertility, including conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease and ectopic pregnancy in women, and prostatitis and epididymitis in men.
