Symptoms

A symptom is something that is “not your normal” like unusual bleeding, burning when you pee, discharge from your vagina or penis, bumps or sores around your vagina, penis or anus.   

We ask if you have a symptom because we want to make sure you can see a doctor who can help treat the symptom. Our nurse generally cannot diagnose or treat a symptom. 

There are some tests that have to be performed by a doctor.  The doctor will look at the test sample under the microscope to diagnose problems so we can treat you. You must see the doctor if you have a bump or sore, or have a vagina and have symptoms (anything outside of your normal).

They can test for the following:

• Yeast 
• BV (Bacterial Vaginosis)
• Trichomoniasis
