Specialized STD Follow-Up Package for Women

Description

 Early Diagnosis, Effective Prevention, and Preservation of Women’s Sexual Health

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs or STIs) can severely threaten women’s sexual health and fertility, often without early symptoms. Unfortunately, many women are unaware carriers or infected, posing risks not only to themselves but also to their sexual partners and future pregnancies.

Therefore, after a positive STD screening test or suspicion of symptoms, women must enter a phase of specialized evaluation and targeted treatment. Our women’s STD package is designed to provide comprehensive, confidential, and evidence-based care covering diagnosis, complication assessment, counseling, and education.

Exclusive Services Included in the Women’s STD Package:

1. Pelvic Examination by a Gynecologist
   A critical step in evaluating STDs, this exam assesses the vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes for inflammation, abnormal discharge, sores, or suspicious masses. Often performed using a speculum, it also includes assessing tenderness or pain during pelvic palpation.
2. Cervical Pap Smear
   A simple yet vital test for detecting cellular changes in the cervix potentially caused by HPV infection. HPV is among the most common STDs in women and a leading cause of cervical cancer if undiagnosed and untreated. Our package includes standardized Pap smear collection in a sterile environment. When necessary, an HPV DNA test is also performed for precise viral typing.
3. Addiction Screening
   To evaluate physical and psychological health comprehensively, addiction screening is part of the package. This helps identify high-risk behaviors, especially in women with partners engaging in risky sexual or substance use behaviors, informing more effective treatment planning.
4. Transabdominal Ultrasound of the Uterus and Pelvis
   A painless, non-invasive imaging method to examine the uterus, endometrium, ovaries, and pelvic structures. This aids in detecting cysts, fibroids, or pelvic inflammation.
5. Transvaginal Ultrasound
   For a more detailed assessment of the uterus and ovaries, this high-sensitivity ultrasound is performed by a gynecologist. It is especially useful for early detection of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), abscesses, or suspicious masses, and recommended for chronic pelvic pain or abnormal discharge.
6. Comprehensive Medical Evaluation
   Based on physical findings, sexual and medical history, and test results, the physician evaluates key symptoms such as:

• Abnormal vaginal discharge
• Unpleasant odor
• Vaginal itching or burning
• Pain during intercourse
• Genital sores or skin rash

1. Psychological Counseling
   STDs impose not only physical but significant psychological burdens, including guilt, anxiety, fear of social judgment, and concerns about future relationships. Our specialized sexual health psychologist provides support to help women manage these challenges, make informed decisions about their relationships and treatment, and adopt safer sexual behaviors.
2. Personalized Education and Counseling
   At the conclusion of the evaluation, both physician and counselor educate patients on:

• Preventing disease transmission to partners
• Importance of partner treatment and notification
• Safe sexual practices
• Necessity of follow-up testing
• HPV vaccination considerations

Education is a cornerstone in preventing reinfection or transmission.
