Regular STD testing is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your health and your partner’s well-being. Many sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) show few or no symptoms at all, which means it’s possible to have an infection without realizing it. Left untreated, some STDs can cause serious complications such as infertility or long-term illness.
At Right Choice Urgent Care in Cypress, TX, we provide confidential and accurate STD testing and treatment for men and women. Our experienced medical team offers compassionate care in a comfortable setting, so you can take charge of your sexual health with confidence.
Why STD Testing Is Important
Even if you feel fine, it’s possible to carry an infection that could be passed to others. Regular testing helps ensure early detection and treatment, preventing complications and protecting your partner’s health as well.
Our urgent care clinic offers discreet STD screening for a variety of common infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B, and more.
If you are sexually active, it’s a good idea to discuss your lifestyle and risk factors with your provider to determine how often you should be tested and which tests are appropriate for you.
When to Get Tested
Not everyone needs to be tested for every STD at every visit. However, testing is strongly recommended in certain circumstances. You should consider getting screened if:
- You have a new sexual partner
- You are having unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex
- You or your partner have multiple partners
- You are an IV drug user or have contact with a sex worker
- You are experiencing symptoms such as pain, burning, or unusual discharge
Your provider at Right Choice Urgent Care can help you create a testing schedule based on your individual health and lifestyle.
Symptoms to Watch For
Some STDs may cause noticeable symptoms, while others can go unnoticed for long periods. Common warning signs include:
- Painful or frequent urination
- Pain during intercourse
- Blisters or sores on the genitals or anus
- Itching or irritation in the genital area
- Unusual discharge
- Fever or flu-like symptoms
If you experience any of these symptoms, visit our urgent care clinic for testing and evaluation.
Treatment Options
If your results indicate that you have an STD, our team will discuss treatment options based on the type of infection.
- Bacterial STDs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis can typically be cured with antibiotics.
- Parasitic STDs like trichomoniasis can be treated with antibiotics or antiparasitic medications.
- Viral STDs such as herpes, HPV, hepatitis B, and HIV cannot be cured completely, but they can be managed effectively with antiviral medications and ongoing care.
Our goal is to provide you with prompt, effective treatment and help you maintain good sexual health moving forward.
