Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can present with a variety of signs and symptoms, or may not have any noticeable symptoms at all. However, some common indicators of STIs include:
Pain or discomfort during sex or urination
Unusual discharge from the penis or vagina
Genital sores or ulcers
Itching, burning, or redness in the genital area
Swelling or tenderness of the groin or lymph nodes
Abnormal bleeding, such as between periods or after sex
Pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis
Flu-like symptoms, such as fever, chills, and body aches
Fatigue or malaise
Skin rash or bumps in the genital area
It is important to note that not all STIs have visible signs or symptoms, which is why regular STI testing is recommended, especially if you are sexually active or have had unprotected sex.
