Gonorrhea

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infectious disease that develops due to the penetration of gonococcus (Neisseria gonorrhoeae) into the genitourinary tract with damage to the mucous membranes of the organs of the genitourinary system.

Symptoms of gonorrhea:

• Pain and burning sensation when urinating. 
  
• Discharge from the urethra or vagina, which may be yellow, green or white. 
• Unpleasant and painful sensations when emptying the bladder 
  
• Pain in the lower abdomen. 
  

Why is it important to do test for gonorrhea?

Gonorrhea can occur without symptoms or with mild symptoms. Therefore, many people may not realize that they have this infection. The test allows you to identify the presence of gonococci even in the absence of obvious signs of the disease. 
Gonococcal infections (gonorrhea) have serious consequences for reproductive and maternal and newborn health, including:

• fivefold increase in HIV transmission rates 
  
• infertility 
  
• inflammation leading to acute and chronic pain in the lower abdomen in women 
  
• ectopic pregnancy and maternal death rate 
  
• termination of pregnancy in the first trimester 
  
• severe neonatal eye infections that can lead to blindness 
  

Chlamydia

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease caused by unprotected sexual contact.Occasionally, it is transmitted by contact and household means - through common hygiene items. In addition, newborn children are at risk of contracting chlamydia infection during their progress through the birth canal.

Symptoms of chlamydia infection

• Discharge from the urethra or vagina 
  
• Pain or burning sensation when urinating 
  
• Women sometimes have lower abdominal pain and menstrual irregularities 

It is important to note that in most infected people, chlamydia can be asymptomatic, so taking an analysis is important for the diagnosis of infection.

Why is it important to do test for chlamydia?

Due to the latent course of the infection, the disease becomes chronic and affects various other organs. Thus, patients with chlamydia infection may develop conjunctivitis, pneumonia, and chlamydial arthritis. Chlamydia infection also becomes the main cause of urethritis, prostatitis, cervicitis, and infertility. 
 
 
Mycoplasma

Mycoplasma is a gram–negative unicellular microorganism, which is a representative of the class of mollicutes. It occupies an intermediate position between fungi, viruses and bacteria. 

Symptoms of mycoplasma

• Frequent urination and abdominal pain (in women). 
  
• Discharge from the urethra or vagina. 
  
• Pain or discomfort when urinating. 

It is important to understand that mycoplasma may be asymptomatic in some infected people.

Why is it important to do test for mycoplasmosis?

Mycoplasmosis can lead to various diseases such as urinary tract disease, appendage infection in women, infertility and other reproductive health problems. Early detection and treatment of mycoplasmosis will help prevent these consequences. 
 
Ureaplasma

Ureaplasma is a parasitic microorganism that lives on cell membranes. It occupies an intermediate place between viruses and bacteria. 

Symptoms of ureaplasma:

Ureaplasma can be accompanied by a variety of symptoms, but in many infected people it can be asymptomatic. Possible symptoms include: 

• Discharge from the urethra or vagina. 
  
• Pain or burning sensation when urinating. 
  
• Pain in the lower abdomen. 
  
• Frequent urination. 
  
• Unpleasant painful sensations during sexual contact. 
  

It is important to remember that the absence of symptoms does not mean there is no infection, so dong tests is important to detect infection.

Why is it important to do test for ureaplasmosis?

Ureaplasmosis can have a negative impact on pregnancy and newborn health. In pregnant women, infection can lead to early childbirth and other consequences. 
 
 
Gardnerella

Gardnerella is a small, capsule-free, immobile, anaerobic actin-like bacillus.It is part of the normal vaginal microflora. However, when levels of this bacteria become unusually high, it can lead to a condition called vaginosis. 

Symptoms of vaginosis:

• Unpleasant smell 
  
• Increased vaginal discharge, which may be grayish in color. 
  
• Itching or discomfort in the vaginal area. 

It is important to note that not all women with vaginosis caused by Gardnerella vaginalis have symptoms.

Why is it important to do test for Gardnerella vaginalis?

Vaginosis caused by Gardnerella vaginalis can increase the risk, including urinary tract infections, and primarily on the health of the reproductive organs. It can also affect the quality of life, causing discomfort and unpleasant symptoms.
 
Trichomonas

Trichomonas belongs to the parasitic protozoa, which are the causative agents of many sexual diseases. Among all sexually transmitted diseases, trichomoniasis ranks third.

Symptoms of trichomoniasis

• Foamy discharge 
  
• Pain or discomfort when urinating 

It is important to note that not all infected people have symptoms, so taking an test is important to detect infection. 

Why is it important to do test for trichomoniasis?

Trichomoniasis does not cause serious complications, but it serves as a factor that increases the risk of infection with other sexual infections. 
Independently, it can lead to inflammatory processes (urethritis, cervicitis, vaginitis).

Candidiasis

Candidiasis is a disease caused by yeast–like fungi belonging to the genus Candida. Fungi of this genus are part of the normal microflora of the oral cavity, vagina, and large intestine in quite healthy people. But under certain conditions, the percentage of these fungi increases, which eventually leads to the development of candidiasis.

Symptoms of candidiasis

• Itching or burning in the genital area 
  
• Copious vaginal discharge 
  
• Pain or discomfort when urinating 

Why is it important to do test for Candidiasis? 

Candidiasis is caused by fungi of the genus Candida, primarily Candida albicans. This infection can occur with symptoms such as burning, discharge, and discomfort in the intimate area. Testing for candidiasis helps to avoid infection and identify a specific type of Candida, which is important for careful treatment.
 
 
Cytomegalovirus

Cytomegalovirus "cell size–increasing virus" (Cytomegalovirus hominis) is a DNA-containing virus belonging to the herpesvirus family. It refers to an opportunistic infection, that is, causing the disease only under favorable conditions for it (decreased immunity). The virus is able to stay in the body in a "dormant" latent state for many years and makes itself felt at the most inopportune moment. 

Symptoms of cytomegalovirus:

In most people, CMV infection is asymptomatic. However, some infected people may experience symptoms that may include: 

• Fatigue 
  
• Fever 
  
• Muscle and joint pain 
  
• Enlarged lymph nodes 
  
• Vision problems or hearing problems 
  
• Inflammation of the uterus and appendages 
  
• Cervical erosion 

Why is it important to do test for Cytomegalovirus?

CMV can cause serious disorders in people with weakened immune systems, including health conditions, eye conditions and other problems. CMV infection can also be dangerous for pregnant women and newborns, so it is important to do test and take precautions. 

Herpes types I, II (HSV I, II)

It has been established that about 90 percent of the world's population is infected with the herpes virus, but only a small part of them have the virus manifesting itself clinically. Once in the human body, no matter which way, the virus accumulates in the nerve nodes that are located along the spine and can be inactive there throughout a person's life.

Symptoms of herpes (HSV I and HSV II) 

• Redness, covered with bubbles, which can then burst and turn into ulcers. 
  
• Itching and burning at the site of infection. 
  
• Swelling and pain. 
  
• Fever and general malaise (more often with primary infection). 

Why is it important to do test for Herpes (HSV I and HSV II)?

Primary infection caused by HSV is particularly dangerous during pregnancy due to the high risk of spontaneous miscarriage, the development of severe lesions of the fetus and newborn, and the formation of congenital deformities. Therefore, it is important to do test to detect infection. 

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body's immune system. If left untreated, HIV can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). 
Most people have flu-like symptoms within 2-4 weeks after infection. The human immunodeficiency virus multiplies in the human body rather slowly, and a quantitative result in relation to antigens and antibodies to the virus can be obtained, as a rule, no earlier than 3-6 weeks after infection.

Symptoms of HIV:

Many people with HIV do not have symptoms at the initial stage. However, some symptoms may occur in the form of: 

• Fever; 
  
• Headache; 
  
• Rash; 
  
• Sore throat 

Infection gradually weakens the immune system. This can lead to other signs and symptoms: 

• enlargement of the lymph nodes; 
  
• weight loss; 
  
• fever; 
  
• diarrhea; 
  
• cough. 

Why is it important to do test for HIV?

HIV can develop in the body for a long time without symptoms. However, the earlier the infection is detected, the earlier treatment can be started, which increases the chances of successful virus management and health maintenance.Therefore, it is important to take an analysis to detect infection

Syphilis

The causative agent of syphilis is Treponema pallidum. Pale treponema is a species of gram—negative spirochaetes, T. pallidum is a subspecies of pallidum.In most cases, it is transmitted sexually, while infection is possible through skin damage and transplacentally (from the sick mother to the fetus).

Symptoms of syphilis

Symptoms of syphilis can develop in stages, and they can vary depending on the stage of the disease.

Primary syphilis: 

One of the most characteristic symptoms of primary syphilis is the appearance of a painful ulcer called a chancre. Chancre usually appears in the place where the virus first entered the body, most often on the genitals, anus or mouth.
A chancre can be single or multiple, round or oval, and it is often painless. It can heal on its own, but this does not mean that the infection has disappeared.

Secondary syphilis:

Secondary syphilis develops several weeks after the disappearance of the chancre.
Symptoms include a rash on the body and mucous membranes, ulcers in the mouth, muscle and joint pain, and headache. The rash may be a rash of small spots or red flat plaques that do not itch.
Common flu-like symptoms may occur.

Tertiary syphilis:

Tertiary syphilis is the most serious and dangerous stage of the disease, which can develop decades after the primary infection.
This stage can cause serious damage to organs such as the heart, brain, bones and other internal organs. 
Symptoms may include damage to the central nervous system, the formation of tumors (gum) in various organs and tissues, problems with the heart and blood vessels.

It is important to note that syphilis can mimic the symptoms of other diseases, so specialized laboratory tests, such as blood tests for antibodies to Treponema pallidum, are necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Why is it important to do test for syphilis?

Syphilis can lead to serious complications such as damage to the heart, brain, bones and other organs. Early detection and treatment reduce the risk of developing such complications and help maintain overall health.Therefore, it is important to take an test to detect infection
