Think you have a potential STI? Or maybe your partner told you he contracted an STI. Untreated STIs can lead to health complications like miscarriage, birth defects, infertility, and PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). Not all STIs display symptoms, but people may experience:
- Painful urination
- Lower abdominal pain
- Pain during sexual intercourse
- Unusual vaginal bleeding
- Sore, swollen lymph nodes
- Unusual discharge
Are you sexually active and worried you may have an STI? Testing is important to protecting your health and preventing further infection or passing to a partner. We offer free STI testing and treatment at Brazos Pregnancy Center.
