Knowing where to find timely and effective treatment for a sexually transmitted disease (STI) in Bangkok could save your life. ReadyCheckGo is a clinic in Bangkok that provides treatment for STIs. Getting appropriate treatment for an STI eliminates the infection that can endanger your health. Getting timely treatment also prevents transmission, which puts your partners at risk of infection.
Even if your infection is not life-threatening, it may cause symptoms that make your body more prone to contracting other diseases. The symptoms can also weaken your immune system and invite new infections. Some of the symptoms of an STI may also need ongoing treatment to live an ordinarily productive life.
STIs and Their Symptoms
There are many types of STIs that have different symptoms. Some of the most common STIs, their symptoms and their long-term health damage include:
Syphilis

Chancroid
Chancroid symptoms in men include skin ulcers and red, shiny bumps, swollen lymph nodes and abscesses, pus and infectious fluid discharges, and increasingly larger sores.

The long-term health impacts are infertility, an increased risk of contracting HIV, recurring infections, blood infections, and long-term discomfort. Children born to mothers with the diseases often contract eye infections and pneumonia.
