What is Online STD Treatment?
Online STD treatment is a telehealth service that enables patients to consult with healthcare professionals remotely for the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. Common STD’s we can provide recommendations for include Chlamydia, Gonorrhea*, Trichomoniasis (Trich) and Syphilis*.
Viral STDs such as herpes, HIV, hepatitis B, and HPV are not curable but can be managed with treatments prescribed through online consultations.
This approach typically involves:
Symptoms of STDs/STIs
Common symptoms that may indicate the need for STD testing and treatment include:
- Pain or burning sensation while urinating
- Unusual discharge from the genitals
- Sores, blisters, or rashes in the genital area
- Pain during sexual intercourse
- Itching in the genital region
However, it's crucial to remember that many STDs can be asymptomatic, emphasizing the importance of regular testing even in the absence of symptoms.
STI Treatment Options
Treatment options vary depending on the specific STD diagnosed. Common treatments include:
- Antibiotics for bacterial STDs like chlamydia
- Antiviral medications for viral STDs like herpes
- Antiparasitic drugs for trichomoniasis
It's important to note that some STDs, such as gonorrhea and syphilis, require in-person treatment due to the need for injectable medications. Speak with an online doctor today to help you decide the best next steps for your STI treatment.
