What Is STI Screening?
STI screening involves a range of tests designed to detect sexually transmitted infections, including infections that may not cause any symptoms. Early diagnosis allows treatment to be started promptly, helping to protect your health and reduce the risk of long-term complications.
Depending on your individual circumstances, testing may include screening for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and other infections where appropriate. Our experienced consultant gynaecologists provide a personalised approach to sexual health, ensuring that you receive accurate results, clear explanations, and prompt treatment where needed.
Who Can Benefit from STI Testing?
STI testing can benefit anyone who is sexually active. Many women choose routine testing for reassurance, while others seek assessment because they have symptoms, concerns about possible exposure, or wish to protect their long-term sexual and reproductive health.
Common Symptoms of STIs
Many sexually transmitted infections cause no symptoms, which is why regular testing can be important even if you feel completely well. When symptoms do occur, they can vary depending on the infection involved and may range from mild irritation to more persistent symptoms.
Possible symptoms include unusual vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, bleeding after sex, pain during intercourse, genital sores, itching, burning when passing urine, or unexplained bleeding between periods. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, prompt specialist assessment can help ensure an accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.
What Does STI Testing Involve?
Your appointment will begin with a confidential discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and sexual health concerns. Understanding these factors helps ensure that investigations are tailored to your individual circumstances and that you receive the most appropriate testing and advice.
Depending on your needs, testing may involve blood tests, urine samples, vaginal swabs, or other investigations where appropriate. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive assessment, explain your results clearly, and ensure that any necessary treatment is started promptly, helping to protect your long-term sexual and reproductive health.
STI Testing and Pregnancy Planning
Some sexually transmitted infections can affect fertility and pregnancy outcomes if left untreated. Testing before or during pregnancy can help identify infections early and ensure that appropriate treatment is provided, helping to protect both your reproductive health and the health of your future baby.
At Gynaecology Clinic London, our experienced consultant gynaecologists provide personalised advice regarding sexual health and pregnancy planning. We take the time to address any concerns and help you optimise your reproductive health in preparation for a healthy pregnancy.
