STD Signs and Symptoms

There are often no signs or symptoms of an STD. If symptoms are present, they usually show shortly after exposure and may include the following:

For a female:

Unusual vaginal discharge
Itching and/or burning
Lower abdominal pain or cramps
Bleeding after sex
Sores around the vaginal area

For a male:

Discharge from the penis
Burning with urination
Sores around the genital area

While there may be danger signs and symptoms, you can be infected without knowing it. If your sex partner or the health department contacts you and says you have been exposed to an STD, it is very important to get tested and treated as soon as possible.
