Gonorrhea
The common symptoms of gonorrhea are vaginal discharge and
burning with urination, but there may be no symptoms. It commonly leads to PID
(pelvic inflammatory disease). Gonorrhea can be treated and cured with antibiotics.
Syphilis
Syphilis produces its symptoms in stages. In the early stage
there's usually a painless sore in or near the vagina (or mouth, anus or hands)
and swollen lymph nodes in the area of the sore. The infection could be dormant
for years until stage 2—when there's a skin rash that lasts for months, often
on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Stage 3 affects the heart, the
central nervous system and other internal organs. It can be cured with
antibiotics, usually penicillin.
Other STDs
Some other STDs you may hear about are trichomoniasis, bacterial
vaginosis, cytomegalovirus, scabies and pubic lice.
