Should I see a doctor?

This section of the STD web site was included in response to the large number of telephone calls received by doctors and health advisers at STD Services. People are often reluctant to go straight to a doctor or health care worker when they have symptoms which they suspect might be due to a sexually transmitted infection, and prefer to ask for anonymous advice over the telephone.

"Should I See a Doctor?" will help you decide if you should see a doctor in relation to any STD concerns you might have. If you have symptoms, the system cannot diagnose your condition. But on the basis of the symptoms you describe, it may be able to suggest some of the conditions that sometimes cause those symptoms. It will then offer advice about how to have the symptoms properly assessed and treated.

Before you use this section, you must read the disclaimer.

Read the disclaimer and continue into the "Should I see a doctor?" section.

Do not read the disclaimer and return to the previous page.
