STDs are infections passed from one person to another through sexual contact—vaginal, anal, or oral. They may be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites and can affect both men and women. Many STDs do not cause obvious symptoms at first, which is why regular testing is crucial, especially if you are sexually active.

Common STDs include:

• Chlamydia
• Gonorrhoea
• Syphilis
• Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
• Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)
• HIV/AIDS
• Trichomoniasis
• Hepatitis B and C

Left untreated, STDs can lead to serious complications such as infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), chronic pain, and increased risk of cancer or HIV transmission.

Dr. Sangeeta Dubey provides confidential and comprehensive STD testing in West Bengal in a respectful, non-judgmental environment. Depending on your concerns, symptoms, or risk factors, the following tests may be recommended:

• Blood tests (for HIV, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis)
• Urine tests (for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis)
• Swabs from genital, oral, or rectal areas
• Pap Smear and HPV screening (for women)

Testing is quick, accurate, and can often be done during a routine visit. Results are shared privately, and counselling is provided before and after testing.

Early treatment is critical in managing STDs and avoiding long-term health problems. Once diagnosed, Dr. Sangeeta Dubey offers evidence-based treatment tailored to your condition, including:

• Antibiotics for bacterial infections like chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and syphilis
• Antiviral medications for conditions like herpes and HIV
• Vaccinations for Hepatitis B and HPV prevention
• Partner Management and Counselling to Prevent Reinfection

In cases involving recurrent infections or if symptoms persist after treatment, additional testing and follow-ups may be advised to ensure complete recovery.

Some STDs show no symptoms, but when they do, signs can include:

• Unusual vaginal discharge
• Burning or pain during urination
• Genital sores, warts, or rashes
• Pain during intercourse
• Itching or irritation in the genital area
• Lower abdominal pain
• Irregular bleeding between periods

If you notice any of these symptoms, book a consultation immediately. Early intervention can prevent complications and protect your reproductive health.
