What Are the Most Common STD Symptoms?

Did you know that the most common STD symptoms are no symptoms at all? Many STDs do not cause noticeable symptoms in their initial stages, or ever. That’s why it’s so important to receive STD testing on a routine basis if you are sexually active. When STDs do produce symptoms, they may involve one or more of the following:

• Warts, sores, bumps, or rashes around the genital area
• Swelling or redness around the genital area
• Unexplained rashes on another area of the body
• Pain while urinating or during sexual intercourse
• Unusual discharge or bleeding from the genital area
• Flu-like symptoms
• Unexplained weight loss and night sweats
• Yellowing of the skin (jaundice)

As mentioned, anyone who is sexually active should prioritize STD testing. However, it is especially important to routinely be screened for STDs if you are considered to be at an increased risk of infection. High-risk groups include:

• Individuals who have multiple sexual partners
• Individuals who sleep with someone who has multiple sexual partners
• Women who are 25 or younger
• Men who have sexual intercourse with other men
• Individuals who do not regularly use condoms
• Individuals with a history of STDs
