Symptoms
Common symptoms of an STI are:
- unusual discharge or liquid from vagina or penis
- pain or burning when you pass urine
- itches, rashes, lumps or blisters around the genitals or anus
- pain and/or bleeding during sex
- bleeding after sex and/or between periods.
Symptoms, however, can vary from infection to infection and many STIs show no symptoms at all. It is not uncommon to have more than one infection at the same time.
Most STIs can be completely cured if found early enough and may only require you to take a course of antibiotics. However, if left untreated these infections can be painful and uncomfortable or at worst cause permanent damage to your health and fertility.
