Vaginal blisters or blisters in the genital area (the area covered by underwear) can be a sign of an STD in women. Similarly, a vaginal rash or rash in the genital area can also be a symptom of an STD. Men who have contracted an STI may experience itching or irritation inside the penis, as well as secretions or burning after urinating or ejaculating. Women may notice itching, burning, redness, or pain when urinating, as well as an unusual discharge that smells bad.
Having trichomoniasis can make it unpleasant to have sex. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and are concerned that you may have an STD, it is important to seek medical attention. PhysicianOne Urgent Care is available 7 days a week for high-quality urgent care, at a fraction of the cost of the emergency room, including testing for STDs. It is important to complete the full course of medication prescribed by your doctor, even if the symptoms of the STI have resolved.
If you stop taking the medication on time, the infection could remain in your body. The timeline for when symptoms of STDs appear varies depending on the specific pathogen (disease-causing organism). Generally speaking, symptoms may appear within four to five days or four to five weeks after exposure.
