Understanding Contraceptive Choices
Sexual Health Awareness Month
There are some signs and symptoms that may be caused by an STI that you should be aware of, so you’ll know when to check in with a healthcare provider. If you notice any of the following, it may be a sign of an STI or other infection:
pain in the pelvic area
pain in the lower abdomen
pain when having sex
unusual discharge from the vagina or penis
a bad smell
bleeding between periods
burning when you pee
sores, ulcers, blisters or warts
a heavy feeling in the testicles
swelling, redness or a rash
excessive itching in the genital area
Having a symptom doesn’t mean you have a disease. The symptoms (or lack of) are so many and varied, it’s hard to tell if, for example, bleeding between periods is simply the result of a normal, age-related hormone imbalance or an STI. But the bottom line is—know your body, and when something isn’t right, get checked by a healthcare provider.
Make sexual health care part of your healthcare routine. Call (877)205-5006.
