Types and symptoms of STDs:

Chlamydia - This is a bacterial infection that is by far the most common STI, but if treated early it is curable with antibiotics. About 75% of women and 25% of men have no symptoms.

Symptoms of this type of STD: abnormal stool, painful urination, lower abdominal pain or pain during sexual intercourse.

Gonorrhea - This is a disease spread by bacteria that can attack the cervix, urethra, rectum, eyes or throat and often co-exists with chlamydia.

Symptoms of this STD: Burning or itching when you urinate. Or you may have no symptoms at all.

Human papillomavirus — also known as HPV or genital warts — is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the United States. As the name of the disease suggests, it is a virus and once infected, the disease will persist for life. Warts can develop on the vulva, inside the vagina, on the cervix, in the anus, or even in the throat. Treatments for genital warts include freezing them with cryotherapy, treating them with laser therapy, removing them surgically, or using chemotherapy. Even after treatment, genital warts may recur later, and some strains of the virus can cause cervical cancer. Therefore, women who have had HPV should have a Pap test at least once a year. For prone infections, more frequent Pap tests should be performed.
