Condition
STDs
Sexually transmitted diseases — or STDs — often are silent, meaning there are no symptoms. Women may not notice any symptoms until they have developed serious complications. Be on the lookout for:
A drip or discharge from the penis, urethra, vagina, or anus; the color may be white, yellow, green, or gray. The discharge may be blood-streaked, and it may or may not have a strong odor.
- Genital and/or anal itching or irritation
- A rash, blisters, sores, lumps, bumps, or warts on or around the genitals, anus, or mouth
- Burning or pain during urination
- Swollen lymph glands in the groin
- Pain in the groin or lower belly
- Vaginal bleeding
- Pain or swelling of the testicles
- Swelling or redness of the vagina
- Weight loss, loose stools, night sweats
- Flu-like symptoms (such as aches and pains, fevers, and chills)
- Painful sex
- Bleeding from the vagina other than during a monthly period
