Clinics in Gostynin

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

Gonorrhoea tests in Gostynin

Gonorrhoea is one of the most common STIs in Gostynin.  It can cause considerable damage to your health and fertility if it is not detected and treated quickly.  Gonorrhoea can be passed on by vaginal, oral and/ or anal sex.

The Gonorrhoea test at our Better2Know sexual health clinic in Gostynin is a simple, urine test used to detect the presence of the infection in your genitals, or a self-collected swab of your mouth/ throat or anus.

What is the difference between a test and a screen?

An STI test is for when a patient is concerned about one infection. For example, if you have had unprotected sexual intercourse with a partner who later informs you that they have Chlamydia, you would want to get a Chlamydia test.

An STI screen is recommended by the Better2Know Gostynin medical team. A screen involves checking for several different STIs simultaneously. Screens are best used when an individual has had sex with a new partner and wants to get peace of mind by having a more comprehensive look at their sexual health.

Regular STI testing and screening is an essential part of maintaining good sexual health and preventing the spread of sexually transmitted infections in Gostynin.

Chlamydia test in Gostynin

Chlamydia is one of the most common STDs in Gostynin.  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 Gostynin.  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 Gostynin, 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.
