STD Test Packages in Faridabad

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also known as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), can be contracted through various sexual activities that involve the anus, vagina, mouth, or penis. There are numerous types of STIs, including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, herpes and hepatitis amongst others. Common symptoms include itching, a burning sensation, or genital discharge. It's important to note that some STIs can be asymptomatic, meaning you might not experience any noticeable symptoms, especially in the early stages. This means that the only definitive way to confirm an STD infection is through testing. Failing to treat certain curable STDs can lead to serious consequences. For instance, untreated chlamydia and gonorrhoea can result in long-term fertility issues for women. Additionally, having an untreated STD raises the risk of contracting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Furthermore, some STDs, such as HIV, can be fatal if left untreated. Hence, undergoing STD testing not only eliminates uncertainty but may also contribute to the prevention of significant health complications. 

An STD test package enables you to get yourself checked and promptly identify an STD to prevent its related complications and further spread.  

The most common STIs include:

• Gonorrhoea: Caused by gonorrhoea bacteria and is transmitted via unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex. It may have no symptoms but can lead to discharge from the genitals and pain during urination.

• Trichomoniasis: Caused by a trachoma parasite and is transmitted through sexual contact. It is often asymptomatic but can cause discomfort, itching, irritation, redness, and discharge.

• Syphilis: Potentially life-threatening bacterial infection transmitted through sexual contact. It can cause sores in the genitals, palms, feet, and mouth which may further lead to rashes.

• Genital Herpes: Caused by herpes viruses, spread through nonsexual and sexual contact. It may lead to sores or painful blisters.

• Chlamydia: Caused by chlamydia bacteria and is transmitted through unprotected vaginal and anal sex. It is often symptomless but can cause various symptoms like pain during urination, bleeding between periods, anal bleeding during anal sex, and pain in the lower belly.

• Hepatitis B (HBV): Caused by hepatitis virus that attacks the liver, can lead to liver diseases and is transmitted through blood and body fluids. Observable symptoms include muscle aches, fatigue, poor appetite, vomiting, headaches, diarrhea, and fever.

• Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS): Caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that attacks the immune system and is transmitted through blood, semen, and more. It often shows no signs at all and may go unnoticed for a long period.

• Genital Warts: Caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) and is spread through sexual contact. It can lead to warts and potentially cervical cancer.

An STD detection package can accurately determine if you are suffering from an STI and which one.

Understanding your STD status is crucial for various reasons, encompassing prevention, treatment, and curbing the transmission of STDs.  

Being sexually active necessitates discussing your STD risk and potential need for testing with a doctor, especially since many STDs frequently manifest no symptoms. Knowing your STD status is crucial because it allows for prompt treatment. Additionally, identification in asymptomatic cases helps prevent further spread of infection to your partner(s). Routine screenings for STDs also encourage open communication between medical professionals and patients regarding sexual health, sexual orientation, and STIs, which helps improve your sexual health.
