Overview

Most vaginal infections are diagnosed from the history and a simple examination, sometimes with a swab. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomonas, herpes, syphilis, HPV and HIV are diagnosed with swabs or blood tests. Many STIs cause no symptoms at all, which is why screening is advised after unprotected contact or when planning a pregnancy. Prompt treatment prevents complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility.

Vaginal & STI Care with Dr. Bhavya Rathore

Why patients in Indirapuram consult Dr. Rathore for vaginal and sexually transmitted infections

Confidentiality is absolute. Dr. Rathore's consultations are private, and results are shared only with you.

Frequently asked questions

Is white discharge always an infection?

No. Clear or white, odourless discharge that varies with the cycle is normal. Discharge with itching, odour, colour change or discomfort should be checked.

Can I be treated without my partner knowing?

Your consultation is confidential. For some infections, treating your partner is essential to stop re-infection — we will discuss the best way to approach this.

Should I be tested if I have no symptoms?

Yes, if you have had unprotected contact with a new partner, are planning a pregnancy, or your partner has been diagnosed with an infection.
