Sexually transmitted infections can have a series of signs and symptoms, including no symptoms. That’s the reason they may not be discovered until complications happen or a partner is diagnosed.

1. Sores or bumps appear on the genitals or in the oral or rectal region.
2. Experience pain or burning sensation when peeing.
3. Abnormal release of a substance from the male organ.
4. Unusual or odorous female organ discharge.
5. Abnormal bleeding from the female organ.
6. Experiencing pain while having intimacy.
7. Sore, swollen lymph nodes, especially in the groin but in some cases more widespread.
8. Lower pain in the abdominal region.
9. Fever.
10. Having rash over the trunk, hands or feet.
Signs and symptoms may showcase a few days after being infected. However, it may take some years before you have any obvious problems, relying on the organism that causes the infection.
When Is It Good To See A Doctor?
1. It is suggested you meet your doctor immediately you are intimately active and may have been exposed to a sexually transmitted infection or you began to notice signs and symptoms of sexually transmitted infections.
2. Make an appointment with a doctor when you’re considering beginning having intimacy or when you’re 21, whichever comes first and before you begin to have intercourse with a new partner.
