What are the symptoms of an STI?

STIs can have many symptoms: some obvious and some less so. What makes the spread of many STIs so common is that many of their symptoms can be minor or mistaken for other less serious infections. Because of this, people may not get tested. That is why it is always better to know your sexual status if you are concerned about any symptoms.

The symptoms you get will depend on the infection. When they do appear, your symptoms may include:

• Itching or burning sensations in the genitals or the groin area

• Any unusual discharge from the penis or vagina

• Pain or burning sensations during urination

• Pain during normal sexual intercourse

• New and unusual skin blemishes such as warts, sores, blisters, chancres, or rashes in or around the genitals, anus, or mouth

• Lasting pain in the lower abdomen

• Symptoms that may be mistaken for the flu or other infections, such as fever, body aches, or fatigue

• Unexplained weight loss

• Unusual vaginal bleeding between periods

Most people with an STI do not have any symptoms in Great Yarmouth. It is possible to have an infection for months or years and not know it. If you have an STI and leave it untreated, you could develop serious health complications, such as problems with your fertility, an increased risk of developing cancer, reduced immune function, and problems with major organ systems.
