Credihealth finds Gynaecologist in Kolkata for Teenager with STD

Sexually Transmitted Diseases or STDs are not talked about openly in the modern society despite being a major cause for concern. It is a shame that sexually active teenagers and adults have no or limited knowledge about their sexual health and hygiene. Our current education system gives no importance to sex-education and that has led to a sharp rise in such diseases. Another reason for the rise in these numbers is sexual abuse followed by no medical assistance.

Some of the most common STDs prevalent among teenagers include HIV, herpes, molluscum contagiosum, syphilis and Viral and Bacterial STIs. Sadly, due to lack of information regarding signs and symptoms, most people don't know they carry these diseases and continue to spread it to others. The best way to prevent STDs like these is to always use protection and be aware of any unusual activity in your body that could indicate infection/disease, so that you can get medical help as soon as possible.

Rishika Chaturvedi, a young college student started to experience some vaginal discharge and pelvic pain. Assuming that the reason for this could be the beginning of her next menstruation cycle, Rishika ignored the discomfort for over a week. Later she shared her ordeal with her elder sister who discussed with Rishika the dangers of unprotected intercourse. Her sister also advised her to see a professional and called up Credihealth for guidance. We suggested three gynaecologists in Kolkata and her sister Lata chose one for Rishika, who is currently on her course of antibiotics and will soon recover completely.
