Clinics in Radlin

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

What are the most common STIs in Radlin?

The most common intimate infections in Radlin 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 Radlin quick and easy for men and women.  The only way to know if you have a venereal disease is to get tested.

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 Radlin 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 Radlin.

When should I get tested for an STI in Radlin?

All Venereal Diseases have an incubation period.  This is the time it takes for an infection to be detectable in your body from the time that you might have caught it. 

If you are worried about a specific incident in Radlin, then the incubation period varies between 10 and 28 days depending on the infection and test method.  You can book your STI Test appointment in advance.  Please choose a date on or after the incubation period.

If you are having a regular check-up, then the incubation period is less important.  Your results will be accurate for partners up to and before the incubation period of your tests or screens.

If you think you may have been exposed to an STI, or you have any symptoms, you should get tested.
