Treatment and screening of sexually transmitted infections.
In addition to comprehensive diagnosis, treatment and screening of sexually transmitted infections, it is extremely important for us that our patients experience a calm, open and completely empathetic environment.
Briefly about sexually transmitted infections
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and the diseases that develop from them (STDs) are one of the most ancient and fundamental parts of dermatology. The modern abbreviation, STI, was introduced instead of the classic, but stigmatizing venereal disease name for many. The name change was not only necessary in order to reduce the shame of those involved, but also because the scope of these diseases now also includes pathologies for which sexual contact is not the only, but only a possible way of spreading.
In addition to the old classic venereal diseases, new diseases have also been recognized in this area, so the importance of these pathologies continues to play a prominent role in practice. Screening for sexually transmitted infections, evaluation of results and treatment of diseases require a lot of experience on the part of the attending physician.
An empathetic and relaxed atmosphere helps to reduce stress and anxiety, which is crucial when dealing with sexual health issues. Creating this environment promotes open communication, increasing the quantity and quality of information from the patient, which is essential for effective diagnosis and treatment.
Information before the examination
- It is natural that you feel uncomfortable about sharing your intimate problems, but the sexually transmitted infections consultation and patient examination takes place in a friendly environment, under the direction of an empathetic specialist.
- It is important to know when to consult a doctor: in any case, if you notice a discharge, a wound, a blister, pain in the genital area, or if you develop a fever or chills. Along with the infection, symptoms can also appear in the form of enlarged lymph nodes, various skin symptoms, and hair loss. You may notice the symptoms of infection during sexual intercourse, a few hours later, but even after days or weeks.
- Several bacteria can even cause a disease together at the same time, so it is important to know the cause of the symptoms, to carry out microbiologic examinations, so that you can be cured with targeted therapy.
- It is advisable to take part in the STIs test together with your partner, as it is not certain that both members of a couple have the same infection.
- Treatment is also important because certain pathogens can remain asymptomatic for years or even decades, thus leading to the development of long-term complications and infertility. It is important to emphasize that an infection can be passed on even when there are no symptoms, so it is recommended to perform an STI screening test before a new relationship or after a casual relationship.
- A significant number of sexually transmitted infections can be cured with appropriate targeted treatment if diagnosed in time, so it is necessary to attempt for the earliest possible diagnosis.
- It is recommended to suspend sexual contact until recovery, as it can worsen the patient's symptoms and, on the other hand, infect your partner. In the cured state, use of condoms for casual intercourse, and the development of responsible sexual behavior in the long term, provide adequate prevention.
- The STI test is carried out with the utmost discretion, your data is treated confidentially, and your findings are handed over only to you, subject to strict medical confidentiality.
Examination process
1
Diagnosis
In the first step, our dermatologists collect detailed information about the nature of the symptoms, the duration of their existence, related co-morbidities,
and taken medications. The skin symptoms are then examined. If justified, also for laboratory tests or various microbiological tests
may be necessary to establish an accurate diagnosis.
2
Treatment plan
After establishing the diagnosis, our dermatologists draw up the complex therapy plan with the patient's involvement and taking into account their needs. This is often a combination of various local preparations, drug treatments, vaccinations and lifestyle factors such as dietary changes.
In the case of genital warts, it is possible to remove the warts in
a gentle way

Check-up examination
We determine when a check-up control examination is necessary according to the nature of the sexually transmitted infection. During the check-up visit, we check whether the symptoms have sufficiently improved and modify the further therapy plan accordingly. In certain cases, check-up microbiological tests may also be necessary in order to verify the effectiveness of the treatment. In the event of recovery, maintenance treatment may be necessary for a certain period of time in order to prevent the recurrence of symptoms.
With decades of experience and we await you for a dermatological examination at the highest level.
