A woman should see her GP immediately if she believes she has a STD because it can upset her reproductive system. Although pain/burning when weeing is a regular symptom it does not mean it is VD because it is a symptom akin to a urinary tract infection

Genital Herpes
We associate small red bumps, blisters or open sores on the vagina to this condition. In women genital herpes can cause vaginal discharge along with fever symptoms, headache, aching muscles and pain while peeing. Vaginal glands might swell and the urge to scratch happens. Medics successfully stabilize treat and control the condition but unfortunately can never completely rid the human body of the problem.
Gonorrhea
Youngsters today recognize Gonorrhea as an everyday word because school teachings now openly confront the issues of STDs. (awareness lessons.) Gonorrhea is the less severe of most STDs; and therefore highlighted as a top priority for learning about in the classroom. Gonorrhea symptoms are pain and burning during urination, along with yellowish and sometimes bloody discharge from the vagina. This also applies to men if they show any symptoms at all, however their mucus is from the penis.
Genital Warts
Genital warts and genital herpes are not of the same kind as some people believe and get confused about. There are differences. Warts appear as painless bumps on the vagina or penis. A woman is more prone to the risk of catching cervical cancer if she suffers from genital warts.

Jaundice causes the skin and whites of the eyes to turn yellow. While there is no cure for hepatitis B, a vaccine is available to prevent it and we all know prevention is better than any cure.
A sexually transmitted disease is not a topic that should be joked about or ignored because it can kill if treatment is not given. Some of the cured brave have actually bragged about being infected with an STI. Let me tell you that you were one of the lucky ones because; sadly some folk who may have felt embarrassed over their infection never sought treatment and never lived to tell the tale.
Syphilis
Syphilis is an infection caused by bacteria and transmitted in most cases through sexual activity. It usually manifests on the genitals, skin and mucous membranes, and can spread to other body parts. A bacterium called Treponema pallidum is accountable for syphilis. It enters the body through open cuts in the skin or mucous membranes. Syphilis can happen through kissing and blood transfusions. While in the main stage of the Syphilis infection, and usually between 10 days and 6 weeks chancres appear which are perceived as painless sores. Chancres can display on the genitals, lips, tongue or the rectum. If Syphilis reaches the second the stage, symptoms are sore throat, fatigue and a skin rash. It`s a serious infection if permitted to reach the latent stage. Although Syphilis symptoms disappear the infection stays in the body resulting in severe health issues - which is unnerving as it affects the joints, nerves, liver, bones, heart, blood vessels and the brain. The final stage (tertiary stage) of syphilis sees the bacteria spread to body organs which can cause paralysis, gradual blindness, and dementia and in some cases death. It is vitally imperative to have yourself checked out. To late maybe just to "late" you need to act fast to stay safe and healthy.
Anyone can contract a STD but you are more at risk
- Having unprotected sex with an infected person
- You or your partner have multiple sex partners
- Having sex while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- If you share needles with someone else i.e. for drugs, body piercing, tattoos etc
Safe sex is always the best sex so use condoms.
