Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), commonly referred to as venereal disease, are some of the most common diseases that you can get from another person through sexual contact. With more than 20 STDs in existence, these diseases affect more than 13 million men and women in the United States. Luckily, most STDs are treatable.

Often there are no symptoms caused by STDs. However, some symptoms that may be indicative of a STD include:

• an unusual discharge or odor from the vagina
• pain in the pelvic area – the area between the belly button and genitals
• pain in the groin area – the area around the genitals
• genital burning or itching
• bleeding from the vagina that is not a regular period
• pain deep inside the vagina during sexual intercourse
• penile drip or discharge
• sores, bumps or blisters near the genitals, rectum or mouth
• burning and pain during urination or bowel movement
• frequent urination
