STD 11 Pathogen Test – Comprehensive Screening for Sexual Health

Why You Need This Test

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are often silent, meaning they can remain undetected for long periods while causing serious health complications if left untreated. The STD 11 Pathogen Test is a comprehensive screening panel designed to detect bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections, providing a thorough assessment of your sexual health.

This test is recommended for:
✔ Individuals who are sexually active and want routine STI screening
✔ Those experiencing genital discomfort, unusual discharge, or painful urination
✔ People with multiple sexual partners or unprotected sexual activity
✔ Anyone planning to start a new relationship and seeking a clean health status
✔ Individuals who have had a partner diagnosed with an STI

This 11-pathogen screening detects the following infections:

---

Bacterial Infections

• Chlamydia Trachomatis – A bacterial infection that can cause painful urination, genital discharge, and infertility if untreated.
• Neisseria Gonorrhoeae (Gonorrhea) – A highly contagious STI affecting the genitals, throat, and rectum, potentially leading to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and reproductive complications.
• Mycoplasma Genitalium & Mycoplasma Hominis – Emerging STIs linked to persistent urethritis, genital irritation, and fertility issues.
• Ureaplasma Parvum & Ureaplasma Urealyticum – Can contribute to bacterial vaginosis, urethritis, and pregnancy complications.
• Treponema Pallidum (Syphilis) – A serious bacterial infection that progresses through stages, potentially affecting the nervous system, heart, and internal organs if untreated.
• Gardnerella Vaginalis – A common cause of bacterial vaginosis (BV), leading to vaginal discomfort, discharge, and odor.

---

Parasitic & Viral Infections

• Trichomonas Vaginalis – A parasitic STI that leads to genital discomfort, unusual discharge, and inflammation.
• HSV I & II (Herpes Simplex Virus) – Causes genital and oral herpes, which can result in painful blisters, sores, and recurring outbreaks.

This comprehensive panel ensures the detection of hidden infections, many of which can remain asymptomatic for long periods.

Symptoms That Indicate This Test

STIs often show no symptoms, but you should consider testing if you experience:

⚠ Painful urination or burning sensation
⚠ Unusual genital discharge (clear, white, yellow, or green)
⚠ Genital itching, irritation, or redness
⚠ Pain or discomfort during sexual activity
⚠ Genital sores, blisters, or ulcers
⚠ Swollen lymph nodes or unexplained fever
⚠ Lower abdominal pain or pelvic discomfort
⚠ Painful or swollen testicles
⚠ Strong or foul-smelling vaginal or penile discharge

Even if no symptoms are present, routine STI screening is strongly advised, particularly if you have had unprotected sex or a new partner.

What Happens If STIs Are Left Untreated?

Ignoring undiagnosed STIs can lead to serious long-term complications, including:
⚠ Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) – A severe reproductive condition in women that can cause infertility and chronic pain.
⚠ Epididymitis – Painful inflammation of the testicles, affecting sperm production and fertility.
⚠ Increased risk of HIV transmission – Having an untreated STI increases susceptibility to HIV and other infections.
⚠ Complications during pregnancy – STIs can lead to miscarriages, premature birth, and neonatal infections.
⚠ Chronic genital discomfort and inflammation – Persistent infections can cause long-term pain and irritation.

Regular STD testing is essential for early detection, effective treatment, and preventing further transmission.
