Clinics in Połaniec

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

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 Połaniec 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 Połaniec.
