STD 8 Pathogen Test – Comprehensive Screening for Sexual Health

Why You Need This Test

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) often show no symptoms but can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. The STD 8 Pathogen Test is a comprehensive screening panel designed to detect bacterial and parasitic infections, ensuring a thorough evaluation 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 8-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 infertility.
• 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.

---

Parasitic Infection

• Trichomonas Vaginalis – A parasitic STI that leads to genital discomfort, unusual discharge, and inflammation.

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

Symptoms That Indicate This Test

STIs can be silent for long periods, 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
⚠ Lower abdominal pain or pelvic discomfort
⚠ Painful or swollen testicles
⚠ 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 health issues, 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 cause 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.
