If you suspect an infection, contact your gynecologist or a women’s health center immediately. If the examination reveals a sexually transmitted disease, it is important that you alert your partner (or all your partners if there are more than one) immediately so that he can also go for a check up, and if necessary, undergo the necessary medical treatment prescribed. Because it works, it’s important that you both follow the treatment meticulously, and for as long as the doctors say. It’s better to abstain from sexual intercourse throughout the entire course of treatment, even if you don’t have any symptoms. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are sneaky, and often develop for some time asymptomatically without causing any problems.
