Bacterial STIs

Bacterial STIs are infections spread through sexual contact caused by bacteria. Common types include chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. These infections can affect various parts of the body, leading to symptoms like unusual discharge, pain during urination, or sores. Many people may not show symptoms but can still pass the infection to others. Prompt diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics are crucial to prevent complications and transmission. Practicing safe sex, such as using condoms, can reduce the risk of bacterial STIs. Regular testing is also important for sexually active individuals.
