Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) should always be treated as early as possible. Diseases caused by bacteria can be treated with antibiotics. Symptoms of diseases caused by viruses can also be treated. Sexually transmitted diseases and genital skin diseases are included in the area of expertise of dermatologists.
Condoms protect against STDs. If you have had unprotected sex and are considering the possibility of a sexually transmitted disease, come to our laboratory for tests.
