Expert Diagnosis and Treatment at Skin by Dr. Nancy

Venereal diseases, also known as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), are infections spread through sexual contact. These infections can affect the skin, mucous membranes, and other organs, leading to serious health complications if left untreated.

At Skin by Dr. Nancy, we offer comprehensive and confidential diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies for a wide range of venereal diseases. Our goal is to provide expert care while maintaining your privacy and comfort.

Common Venereal Diseases We Treat

Chlamydia

Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that often presents with mild or no symptoms, making early detection crucial. If left untreated, it can lead to complications such as infertility. Common symptoms include:

  • Painful urination
  • Unusual genital discharge
  • Pelvic pain (in women)
  • Testicular pain (in men)

Treatment: Chlamydia is easily treated with antibiotics when diagnosed early.

Gonorrhea

Gonorrhea is another bacterial STI that can affect the genital area, rectum, and throat. It often coexists with chlamydia and may cause the following symptoms:

  • Thick, yellow or green discharge
  • Painful urination
  • Pelvic pain
  • Swelling or pain in the testicles

Treatment: Gonorrhea is treated with antibiotics, but emerging antibiotic resistance makes early treatment critical.

Syphilis

Syphilis is a bacterial infection that progresses in stages, each with different symptoms:

  • Primary stage: A painless sore (chancre) appears at the site of infection.
  • Secondary stage: Skin rashes, swollen lymph nodes, and flu-like symptoms develop.
  • Latent stage: The infection becomes dormant but can later cause severe organ damage.
  • Tertiary stage: Serious complications such as neurological and cardiovascular damage occur if untreated.

Treatment: Syphilis is treated with antibiotics (usually penicillin) but requires early intervention for the best outcomes.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and Genital Warts

HPV is the most common STI, with some strains causing genital warts and others increasing the risk of cervical and other cancers. Symptoms include:

  • Small, flesh-colored or grey genital growths
  • Clusters of warts forming a cauliflower-like shape
  • Itching or discomfort in the genital area

Treatment: HPV has no cure, but genital warts can be removed using topical treatments, cryotherapy, or laser therapy. Vaccination is available for prevention.

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)

Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), leading to recurrent outbreaks of painful blisters and sores. Symptoms include:

  • Small fluid-filled blisters on the genitals or mouth
  • Pain and itching in the affected area
  • Flu-like symptoms during initial outbreaks

Treatment: While there is no cure, antiviral medications can reduce symptoms and prevent outbreaks.

Trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis is a parasitic infection that often goes unnoticed but can cause discomfort. Symptoms include:

  • Foul-smelling vaginal discharge (in women)
  • Burning sensation during urination
  • Genital irritation

Treatment: A single dose of an antibiotic such as metronidazole effectively treats trichomoniasis.

HIV/AIDS

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) attacks the immune system, making individuals vulnerable to infections and diseases. It progresses to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) if untreated. Early symptoms include:

  • Fever and flu-like symptoms
  • Swollen lymph nodes
  • Rapid weight loss
  • Recurrent infections

Treatment: While HIV has no cure, antiretroviral therapy (ART) helps manage the virus and prevents progression to AIDS.
