Introduction
The aims of this book is to shed light onto how STIs or STDs affect women and their sexual health and well-being. We hope to use this book as a guide to educate our readers on the importance of early STD screening.
My doctors and I encourage female patients to discuss their problems fully without ignoring even the minutest discomfort as there are several STD infections that do not show any obvious symptoms.
Hence, It is important to go for screening even if you do not develop symptoms. Many sexually transmitted diseases can be easily cured after early detection and treatment.
However, if left undetected and untreated for a long period of time, STDs could lead to long-term damage such as infertility and multi-infections.
We always believe in promoting greater sexual health knowledge, so that the community at large can take charge and make informed choices when it comes to your sexual well-being.!
We also have a forum (www.askdrtan.com) for Sexual Health, STIs, HIV & AIDS prevention and treatment. The materials in this book should be used as a guide.
Many STIs do NOT cause symptoms and symptoms can be mild. Please visit your physician or our doctors at Dr. Tan and Partners clinic at Robertson Quay (Approved Anonymous HIV Screening Clinic) for more guided tests.
For lady patients who prefer female doctors, we have 2 professional certified female Doctors to attend to your medical needs.
Dr. Tan
