Untreated sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can lead to serious health complications. Knowing the risks is essential for maintaining your well-being. At Better Life Science, we emphasize proactive health measures, including regular STI testing at home, to help you stay informed and healthy.
Fertility Problems
One of the most alarming consequences of untreated STIs is the risk of fertility problems. In women, infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), causing infertility and complications during pregnancy. In men, untreated infections can damage the reproductive system, resulting in decreased fertility. By utilizing our at-home STD tests, you can easily monitor your sexual health and catch infections early.
Chronic Health Problems
Chronic health issues can also arise from untreated STIs. Conditions such as arthritis and joint pain may develop due to certain infections. Additionally, untreated STIs can lead to liver damage, particularly with hepatitis B and C. In severe cases, some STIs can even increase the risk of cancer. Regular STI testing at home is a simple way to prevent these complications and ensure your long-term health.
Increased Risk of HIV
Untreated STIs significantly increase the risk of contracting HIV. The presence of an STI can weaken the immune system, making it easier for the HIV virus to take hold. By getting tested regularly with our STD test kit, you can reduce your risk and take necessary precautions to protect yourself and your partners.
Transmission to Others
Untreated STIs pose a risk not just to you but to others as well. Many STIs can be transmitted without noticeable symptoms, spreading silently within communities. It is crucial to inform partners and promote responsible sexual health practices.
