Why STD Testing Matters
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) affect millions of Americans each year. Many STDs do not cause symptoms, making regular testing essential for early detection and treatment. Untreated infections can lead to serious complications, including infertility, chronic pelvic pain, or increased cancer risks in women. At Bergen Aesthetics, we provide private STD testing in Paramus to help patients stay safe and healthy.
Common STDs We Test For
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- Syphilis
- Genital herpes
- Human papillomavirus (HPV)
- HIV
- Trichomoniasis
- Hepatitis B
When Should You Get Tested?
You should schedule STD testing if you are sexually active—especially if you have more than one partner, a new partner, or any symptoms. Common warning signs include:
- Genital sores, bumps, or rashes
- Burning, itching, or pain during urination
- Unusual vaginal discharge or foul odor
- Pelvic pain or discomfort during intercourse
- Abnormal bleeding or fever
Even if you have no symptoms, routine screening is recommended:
– **Annually** for sexually active women under 25 (gonorrhea and chlamydia)
– **During pregnancy** (HIV, hepatitis B, syphilis, and others if at risk)
– **For women over 25** with new or multiple partners
What to Expect During STD Testing
Your visit at Bergen Aesthetics is private, comfortable, and completely confidential. Dr. Ohanian begins with a medical and sexual health history review, then recommends the most appropriate tests, which may include:
- Urine test
- Blood test
- Swab of vaginal or cervical cells (for HPV and other infections)
- Swab of genital secretions
Results are typically available within a few days, and our team will provide clear next steps and treatment if needed.
If Your Results Are Positive
If an STD is detected, Dr. Ohanian will provide a personalized treatment plan. This may include antibiotics for bacterial infections or antiviral medications to manage viral infections like herpes or HIV. You’ll also receive guidance on preventing reinfection and protecting your partners.
