What are STDs?

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), also known as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are infections that are primarily spread through sexual contact. These diseases are caused by various types of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Common modes of transmission include vaginal, anal, and oral sex, but some STDs can also be spread through non-sexual means, such as from mother to child during childbirth or through blood transfusions. Some common STDs include:

  • Chlamydia: Caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, it can lead to serious reproductive issues if untreated.
  • Gonorrhea: Caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, this infection can affect the genitals, rectum, and throat.
  • Syphilis: Caused by Treponema pallidum, it can progress through several stages and cause long-term complications if not treated.
  • HIV/AIDS: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) attacks the immune system and can lead to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) if untreated.
  • Herpes: Caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), it results in sores or blisters on the genitals or mouth.
  • Hepatitis A, B and C: These viruses affect the liver and can be spread through sexual contact, as well as through sharing needles or from mother to child during childbirth.
  • Trichomoniasis: A parasitic infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, leading to genital inflammation.

STDs can have a range of symptoms, from mild to severe, and some individuals may be asymptomatic. Early diagnosis and treatment at our STD clinic are crucial to prevent complications and the spread of these diseases. Regular testing at our clinic and practicing safe sexual habits are essential for maintaining sexual health.

Why Should I Get STD Test in Singapore?

Whether you should get tested for STDs/STIs depends on several factors. Here are some reasons why you might consider getting tested:

  • New Sexual Partner: If you have a new sexual partner, it’s a good idea for both of you to get tested.
  • Multiple Partners: If you have multiple sexual partners, regular testing is important.
  • Symptoms: If you are experiencing symptoms such as unusual discharge, sores, itching, or pain during urination, you should get tested.
  • Known Exposure: If you suspect or know that you have been exposed to an STD/STI, it’s important to get tested promptly.
  • Routine Screening: Regular screening is recommended for sexually active individuals, particularly those under 25 or those with risk factors.
  • Pregnancy: If you are pregnant, getting tested can prevent transmission to your baby.
  • High-Risk Behaviors: If you engage in high-risk behaviors, such as unprotected sex or intravenous drug use, frequent testing is advised.

Getting tested at our STD Clinic in Singapore ensures early detection and treatment, reducing the risk of complications and transmission to others. If you’re unsure which test to take, you can reach out to us via WhatsApp at 8185 5577. We will help you decide based on your specific circumstances.

Common Signs & Symptoms

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is crucial for early detection and treatment. Some STDs/STIs can be asymptomatic, showing no noticeable symptoms, which makes regular testing at our STD clinic in Singapore essential for detecting these silent infections. If you experience any symptoms or suspect exposure to an STD/STI, seek medical advice and testing at our clinic promptly.

Unusual sores, growths, or swellings in the genital, rectal, or oral areas

Abnormal and foul-smelling penile discharge

Unusual and foul-smelling vaginal discharge

Discomfort or pain while urinating

Abnormal vaginal bleeding

Lower abdominal pain

STD Symptoms & Signs

Chlamydia

Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) that often shows no symptoms. When symptoms do occur, women may experience abnormal vaginal discharge, painful urination, pain during intercourse, lower abdominal pain, and bleeding between periods. Men may notice discharge from the penis, painful urination, and pain or swelling in one or both testicles, though this is less common. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to get tested and seek treatment promptly.

Gonorrhoea

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can affect both men and women. Women may experience increased vaginal discharge, painful urination, vaginal bleeding between periods, painful intercourse, and abdominal or pelvic pain. Men may notice discharge from the penis (white, yellow, or green), painful urination, and, less commonly, pain or swelling in one testicle.

Both genders can develop rectal infections, which may cause discharge, anal itching, soreness, bleeding, or painful bowel movements. Throat infections due to gonorrhea may result in a sore throat, though they are often asymptomatic. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to get tested and seek treatment promptly.

Trichomoniasis (Trich)

Trichomoniasis, commonly known as trich, is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Symptoms can vary between men and women, and some individuals may not show any symptoms.

For women, symptoms may include unusual vaginal discharge (which may be clear, white, yellowish, or greenish), a foul-smelling vaginal odor, genital itching or irritation, painful urination, discomfort during intercourse, and vaginal redness or swelling.

For men, symptoms may include discharge from the penis, a burning sensation after urination or ejaculation, and irritation or itching inside the penis.

Syphilis

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that progresses through several stages, each with distinct symptoms. In the primary stage, individuals typically develop a single sore (chancre) or multiple sores at the infection site, which are usually painless and firm, appearing within three weeks of exposure. During the secondary stage, symptoms can include skin rashes (often on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet), mucous membrane lesions, fever, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, patchy hair loss, headaches, weight loss, muscle aches, and fatigue.

In the latent stage, no visible symptoms are present, and this stage can last for years. If left untreated, syphilis can progress to the tertiary stage, which may occur decades after the initial infection and can cause severe medical problems affecting the heart, brain, and other organs. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is crucial to get tested and seek treatment promptly.

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)

Herpes is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which includes two types: HSV-1, typically causing oral herpes, and HSV-2, typically causing genital herpes. Symptoms can vary widely, and some individuals may not experience any symptoms.

Oral herpes (HSV-1) symptoms can include painful blisters or sores on the lips, mouth, or gums, an itching or burning sensation around the mouth, swollen lymph nodes, fever, sore throat, and headache.

Genital herpes (HSV-2) symptoms can involve painful blisters or sores on the genital or anal area, an itching or burning sensation in the genital area, painful urination, swollen lymph nodes in the groin, and flu-like symptoms such as fever and body aches.

For both types, symptoms may recur periodically, especially during times of stress or illness. Initial outbreaks are often more severe, with subsequent outbreaks being milder and shorter in duration. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to get tested and seek treatment promptly.
