About STDs

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that are primarily spread through sexual contact. STDs can affect anyone who is sexually active, regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation. These infections are caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites and can have significant health consequences if left untreated. Some of the most common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes, and HIV/AIDS. While some STDs can be cured with antibiotics, others require long-term management to control symptoms and reduce the risk of transmission.

Causes and Symptoms

STDs are typically spread through vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected partner. Certain factors can increase the risk of contracting an STD, including unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, drug or alcohol use, and a history of STDs. Symptoms of STDs can vary depending on the type of infection but may include unusual discharge from the genitals, pain during urination, sores or bumps on the genitals, itching or irritation, and flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, and fatigue. In some cases, STDs may not cause any noticeable symptoms, which makes regular screening and check-ups essential.

STD & Sexual Health Diseases

Our clinic provides comprehensive services for the diagnosis and management of a wide range of STD and sexual health diseases, including but not limited to:

• Chlamydia and Gonorrhea: Common bacterial infections that can lead to complications like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility if untreated.
• Syphilis: A bacterial infection that progresses through stages and can cause severe neurological and cardiovascular problems.
• Human Papillomavirus (HPV): A viral infection that can lead to genital warts or cancers of the cervix, anus, and throat.
• Genital Herpes: A viral infection characterized by painful blisters or sores on the genitals.
• HIV/AIDS: A virus that attacks the immune system, making the body more susceptible to other infections and diseases.
• Hepatitis B and C: Viral infections that affect the liver and can lead to serious liver disease.

Treatment

The treatment approach at the STD & Sexual Health Clinic in Emirates Hospitals Group is tailored to each patient based on the type of infection, symptoms, and overall health condition. Treatment options may include:

• Antibiotics: Used for bacterial infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Early treatment is critical to prevent complications.
• Antiviral Medications: For managing viral infections such as genital herpes and HIV. Antivirals help reduce symptoms, manage outbreaks, and prevent transmission.
• Vaccination: For preventing infections like HPV and hepatitis B.
• Counseling and Education: Our clinic provides confidential counseling services to discuss safe sex practices, the importance of regular screening, and strategies to reduce the risk of STDs.
