STD Symptom Checklist for Women:
- Burning sensation when urinating.
- Vaginal discharge. Occasional discharge - clear, thin, with no smell - is normal, but you may have an STD or vaginal infection if you experience discharge that is white, yellow, yellowish-green, bloody or another color; has a noticeable odor; or is persistent.
- Pain or discomfort during sex.
- An unusual, "fishy" vaginal odor after sex.
- Vaginal irritation, soreness or itching.
- Pain in your lower abdomen (the region where you may feel menstrual cramps).
- Warts, lesions or bumps in or around the vagina, vulva, anus or on the thigh.
- Bleeding during sex or between periods or increased menstrual cramping.
- A skin rash.
- Penile irritation or pain
- Pus or discharge from the penis
- Sores or warts on the penis
- Pain or a burning sensation when urinating.
Note: Girls and women frequently do not experience symptoms from STDs. If you are sexually active, you should talk to a health care professional about being screened (call your local health department or Planned Parenthood, if you are uncomfortable with your regular health care provider). If a sexual partner has any symptoms, get tested immediately.
