Sexually Transmitted Disease Treatment in Columbia, MD and Greenbelt, MD

We are dedicated to supporting every aspect of your reproductive and sexual health, including the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). STDs are infections that are primarily spread through sexual contact (vaginal, anal, or oral), caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, HPV, herpes simplex virus, and trichomoniasis.

Women may experience STD symptoms differently, or sometimes not at all. This means it is possible to have an STD without being aware, which can lead to unintentional transmission and long-term health risks. Possible symptoms in women include abnormal vaginal discharge, sores or bumps in the genital area, pelvic pain, pain during urination or intercourse, itching, and rashes. If left untreated, STDs can cause serious complications such as infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), chronic pelvic pain, increased risk of cervical cancer, and pregnancy complications.

Regular screening and open communication are vital for protecting your health. At Women’s Wellness MD, we offer confidential STD testing, up-to-date treatment options, and guidance on safer sex practices. We encourage our patients to ask questions and advocate for their well-being, whether they have symptoms, concerns, or simply want routine screening for peace of mind.

If you think you may have been exposed to an STD or if you’d like to schedule a screening, please contact Women’s Wellness MD. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to maintaining your long-term health and well-being.

At Women’s Wellness MD, we understand that sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can affect women in many different ways. Some women may experience clear symptoms, while others may not notice any signs at all.

Common symptoms of STDs in women can include:

• Unusual vaginal discharge
• Pain or burning during urination
• Sores, bumps, or blisters around the genital or anal area
• Itching or irritation in the vaginal region
• Pain during intercourse
• Lower abdominal pain
• Swollen lymph nodes in the groin
• General symptoms such as fever, body aches, or a rash

Because many STDs can have mild or no symptoms, regular screening and prompt medical attention are essential for maintaining your reproductive and overall health. If you are experiencing any unusual symptoms or believe you may have been exposed to an STD, the compassionate team at Women’s Wellness MD is here to provide confidential testing, diagnosis, and treatment. Your health and wellness are our top priorities—don’t hesitate to reach out with any concerns.

At Women’s Wellness MD, we want every woman to feel empowered with accurate, compassionate information about her health. It’s important to know that it is entirely possible to have a sexually transmitted disease (STD) even if you do not experience any symptoms. Many common STDs—such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, and human papillomavirus (HPV)—can be present in the body without causing noticeable signs or discomfort.

In fact, many women may never develop symptoms, or they may not appear until weeks, months, or even years after the initial infection. Because of this, STDs can be unknowingly passed from one person to another. Hidden infections can still lead to serious health issues over time, including infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and an increased risk of cervical cancer if left untreated.

We encourage our patients to prioritize their sexual health through regular screenings—even if you feel perfectly healthy, or if you’re starting a new relationship. Regular testing is the only way to be sure of your STD status. If you think you may have been exposed to an STD or if you have questions about your risk, our experienced healthcare team is here to provide confidential testing, guidance, and support.

We are dedicated to supporting every aspect of your reproductive health, including the prevention, early detection, and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Many STDs can develop without obvious symptoms, but if left untreated, they can cause serious and lasting health problems for women.

Untreated infections like chlamydia or gonorrhea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which may result in chronic pelvic pain, increase your risk of infertility, or raise the likelihood of an ectopic pregnancy. These complications can have a profound impact on your well-being and future family planning.

Other infections, such as syphilis, can progress through several stages and, if not addressed, may eventually damage your heart, brain, and other vital organs. Human papillomavirus (HPV), if not monitored and managed, can raise your risk of certain cancers, including cervical cancer.

Even if you don’t have symptoms, regular STD testing is a crucial step in protecting yourself and your partners. Early detection and treatment not only safeguard your own health but also help prevent the spread of infections within the community.

At Women’s Wellness MD, your privacy, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities. We encourage you to schedule regular check-ups, including STD screening, as recommended.
