Symptoms of STIs:

Many STIs may not show any symptoms in the early stages, making regular screening essential for sexually active individuals. When present, symptoms can include:

• Unusual vaginal discharge

• Genital sores, bumps, or rashes

Undiagnosed and untreated STIs can lead to serious complications like infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), pregnancy complications, and increased risk of HIV transmission.
