Ladies Vaginal Health and STD Screening

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) are spread via sexual contact, transmitted from a person to another through contact with body fluids such as blood, vaginal fluid or semen. STD(s) can affect people silently without causing any symptoms or the symptoms may only manifest much later on. 

​

Of course, If you develop any signs and symptoms of STD, or you have a recent exposure with partner/(s) with STD, you should definitely consider going for STD screening.
