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 Giżycko 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 Giżycko. We will get you fast results to answer all your sexual health concerns.

What are the most common STIs in Giżycko?
The most common intimate infections in Giżycko include:
Hepatitis C
Chlamydia
Gonorrhoea
Syphilis
A study published in the National Library of Medicine found that reported cases of STIs in Poland showed that the infections were present but not being detected as most people were not getting tested regularly.
Better2Know makes getting tested in Giżycko quick and easy for men and women. The only way to know if you have a venereal disease is to get tested.
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 Giżycko is recommended regardless of your sexual activity to ensure optimal sexual health.
Chlamydia test in Giżycko
Chlamydia is one of the most common STDs in Giżycko. Over 50% of men and 75% of women will not have any symptoms of a Chlamydia infection, making it a silent yet significant threat to your health.
Regular Chlamydia testing is important for sexually active men and women in Giżycko. Early detection can prevent severe health complications such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and pelvic inflammatory disease [PID] in women and reduced fertility and pain during urination or sex for men.
You can have a Chlamydia infection in your genitals, throat and rectum. Each of these locations has a different test. A urine test will detect Chlamydia in your genital area (for both men and women), but will not find an infection in your mouth if you have given oral sex to someone with Chlamydia.
In Giżycko, Better2Know offers confidential, fast, and reliable Chlamydia testing services. Remember, getting tested is not only about individual health but also about protecting others and reducing the spread of STIs in your community.
