These infections may be bacterial, fungal, or viral in origin and often cause symptoms such as itching, pain, abnormal discharge, or bleeding, although in some cases they may remain asymptomatic. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent potential complications and ensure appropriate treatment.
Diagnostic Approach
Assessment is based on medical history, gynaecological examination, and specialised laboratory testing, where molecular techniques can detect up to 18 different sexually transmitted infections.
Treatment and Follow-up
Treatment is tailored individually and is accompanied by appropriate follow-up and preventive guidance.
Prevention and Education
Appropriate education, regular screening, and safe practices contribute to maintaining sexual and reproductive health.
