Protect Your Reproductive Health
If you’ve been sexually active, regular STD/STI testing is an essential part of maintaining your health. Many infections, including chlamydia and gonorrhea, often have no symptoms but can lead to serious complications if left untreated.
At Lakeside Women’s Clinic, we provide no-cost, confidential testing and treatment to help you stay safe and healthy. You don’t have to wait to get answers. Make an appointment today.
Understanding STD/STIs
STDs/STIs are spread through intimate sexual contact. Even if someone doesn’t show symptoms, they can still transmit an infection.
Untreated infections lead to an increased risk of developing long-term complications, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, and chronic pelvic pain.
Common Symptoms
While some STDs/STIs show no visible signs, potential symptoms can include:
- Painful urination
- Unusual vaginal discharge or bleeding
- Sores, bumps, or irritation near the genitals
- Lower abdominal pain
- Pain during sexual intercourse
If you experience these symptoms, or even if you don’t, it’s wise to get tested. Prompt testing and any necessary treatment can prevent long-term health issues.
Why Testing Matters
Early detection is key to preventing long-term damage to your reproductive system and protecting future fertility. If you have reservations about visiting us for this service, know that we are here to help you get answers, not to judge you.
We’ll respect your privacy and ensure all results are given in a completely confidential setting.
