Center for Gynecology & Women’s Health
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a major public health concern and something to which anyone can potentially be exposed. Individuals who have multiple sexual partners or who engage in unprotected sex are especially at risk. Given the challenges inherent sometimes in treating the female reproductive and urologic tract, given the relation of some
STDs to other health conditions, and given the relationship in some cases of STDs to fertility and exposure of the unborn
and newborn, sexually transmitted diseases can be a special concern for women as a health issue.
As a women’s health center providing full gynecologic services, our group can screen, evaluate, and treat women for all types
of STDs. We can provide this service as part of routine primary care or in response to STD concerns, risks, or symptoms that you may
have.
Our experienced, caring staff can also discuss your questions or sexual exposure with you, apprise you of risks, and suggest
preventive steps. Counseling can include education on
safer-sex guidelines.
