Understanding Gynecological Infections & STDs

Gynecological infections and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can affect women of all ages, leading to discomfort, reproductive health issues, and long-term complications if left untreated. Common infections include bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HPV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and herpes. Dr. M. Keerthi Reddy emphasizes early detection, proper treatment, and preventive care to help women maintain optimal intimate health.

Symptoms & Diagnosis

Symptoms of gynecological infections and STDs vary but may include unusual vaginal discharge, itching, burning sensation, pelvic pain, painful urination, or abnormal bleeding. Many STDs remain asymptomatic in the early stages, making regular screenings essential for early detection. Dr. M. Keerthi Reddy provides thorough diagnostic evaluations, including pelvic exams, pap smears, HPV testing, and advanced lab tests, ensuring accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.

Prevention & Treatment

Preventive measures such as practicing safe sex, maintaining proper hygiene, and getting vaccinated against HPV can significantly reduce the risk of infections and STDs. Treatment options vary based on the condition and may include antibiotics, antifungal medications, or antiviral therapies. Dr. M. Keerthi Reddy educates women on preventive care, promotes regular health check-ups, and offers effective, patient-centered treatments to safeguard long-term reproductive health.
