Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) in Schertz, San Antonio

Understanding the STD Landscape

Roughly half of the 20 million new cases of sexually transmitted infections (STDs) reported each year in the United States are found in adolescents aged 15 to 24 years old. While some STDs can be cured with antibiotics, others require ongoing management. Prompt testing and treatment are crucial to prevent serious health complications. At Women’s Wellness of SA, we provide comprehensive STD testing and treatment for all our patients. We understand that discussing STDs can be challenging, but we strive to ensure you receive the care you require.

STD Evaluation and Treatment

STD evaluation begins with a confidential conversation with one of our providers, who will inquire about your symptoms and sexual history to recommend appropriate tests. There are two main types of STDs: bacterial and viral. Bacterial STDs can usually be quickly cured with antibiotics if treatment begins early enough. Viral STDs, on the other hand, cannot be cured and may persist for a lifetime. However, it is possible to manage viral STD symptoms with medications. While we offer confidential testing, we also provide an anonymous testing option to ensure your comfort in sharing information with us.

The Benefits of STD Testing

There are numerous advantages to getting tested for STDs at Women’s Wellness of SA. Testing can help you and your partner(s) avoid serious health complications and pave the way for timely treatment. Moreover, it can alleviate worries and grant you control over your sexual health. It’s essential to remember that STDs are common, and getting tested reflects your responsibility toward your health and that of your partner(s).

Understanding Sexually Transmitted Disease Symptoms

STD symptoms can vary greatly depending on the type of infection. Some STDs may manifest symptoms within a few days or weeks, while others may not show any symptoms for months or even years. It’s important to note that many STDs can present with few or no symptoms, making it possible to be unaware of an infection. If you suspect you may have been exposed to an STD, we encourage you to visit a sexual health clinic or GP for a free and confidential check-up.

Guidelines for STD Screening

Given the diversity of STDs, many remain asymptomatic, underscoring the importance of regular screening, especially for sexually active individuals. At Women’s Wellness of SA, we offer accessible STD testing and treatment, emphasizing the significance of STD prevention in women’s health.

Recommended screening guidelines for STDs include-

  • Annual STD screening for all sexually active women
  • HIV testing at least once in a lifetime, with more frequent testing for those at high risk
  • Prompt evaluation if experiencing any STD symptoms, such as unusual discharge or genital sores
  • Varied Testing Options

Women’s Wellness of SA offers various STD testing methods, including urine tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea, vaginal or penile swabs for these same infections, and blood tests for HIV and other STDs.

We offer diverse treatment options for STDs, including testing, treatment, HIV testing and counseling, and family planning services. Education and prevention services are integral to our commitment to helping patients avoid STDs. While discussing STDs may be uncomfortable, our providers are dedicated to assisting you throughout the process.
