Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can cause many different symptoms. They may include:

• Abnormal discharge from the vagina or penis. This may get worse over a period of several days to 2 weeks.
• Pain, burning, or itching while you urinate that lasts for longer than 24 hours.
• Cloudy urine.
• Fever.
• Pain during sexual intercourse.
• Pain or a feeling of heaviness in the pelvis or lower belly.
• Itching, tingling, burning, or pain in the genitals.
• Sores, lumps, blisters, rashes, or warts on or around the genitals.
• Vaginal spotting or bleeding after sexual intercourse.
• Crusting at the tip of the penis.
• Other symptoms of an infection, such as a rash, fatigue or lack of energy, or swollen glands (lymph nodes).

These symptoms require medical attention. Avoid any sexual contact until you have been checked by your health professional.
