Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 40-year-old female. I am concerned about the possibility of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI) as I recently engaged in protected sex with a sex worker. I would like to understand the most common types of STIs, their symptoms or potential health consequences if left untreated, and how STIs are diagnosed. Are there any recommended testing methods or screening guidelines? If someone is diagnosed with an STI, what are the available treatment options, and how effective are they in managing and curing the infection?
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Do not worry; I am here to take care of you. In response to your questions, if left untreated, STIs can progress and potentially lead to conditions like syphilis and gonorrhea. Blood and urine tests are commonly used to diagnose STIs. For the treatment, I suggest you take tablet Ciprofloxacin 500mg by mouth twice daily, insert a capsule of Miconazole nitrate into the vagina, and also take a tablet of Ketoconazole 200mg by mouth twice daily. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with their consent. If your symptoms persist, please schedule another appointment for follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation.
Thank you for using iCliniq, and have a pleasant day.
