Do STDs Always Have Symptoms?
If you’re sexually active, it is important to get tested for STDs regularly. Sexually transmitted diseases are extremely common, with the highest rates among young adults. Although STDs are considered a taboo topic, they’re nothing to worry about in most cases and can easily be treated when caught early. Not all STDs have symptoms, which is why they spread so easily. Being aware of the symptoms associated with STDs will help you determine whether you should receive STD testing. Common symptoms include:
- Burning while urinating
- Unusual itching around the genitals
- Painful blisters around the genitals
- Unusual discharge
- Flu-like symptoms
Why Preventative STD Testing is Important
STDs can spread quickly because they don’t always have obvious symptoms. That is why our medical providers recommend annual preventative STD testing for patients who are sexually active. STDs can spread through all kinds of sexual contact, including kissing and oral sex. Regular STD testing can help catch STDs early, before they have symptoms, and help prevent the spread of STDs.
Who Should Get Tested for STDs?
We recommend that everyone who is sexually active receive regular STD testing services. This is the best way to catch STDs early and ensure that you’re not accidentally spreading them to your sexual partners. You should also receive STD testing if you’re planning on becoming pregnant, have had unprotected sexual intercourse, or plan on starting a new relationship. Being proactive about your sexual health is essential.
