The main causes are bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. Sexually transmitted diseases are not rare, and anyone can become infected through sexual activity in their daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, the symptoms are asymptomatic or mild, making it difficult to notice the onset of the disease, and if you delay seeking medical attention, the infection may spread to your partner, and if left untreated, it may cause infertility or affect the next generation through mother-to-child transmission.If you do contract the disease, it is important to detect it early and take appropriate measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sexually transmitted disease testing and treatment at our gynecology department<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Concerns about women&#8217;s delicate areas, including sexually transmitted diseases, will be treated at the gynecology department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concerns about women&#8217;s delicate areas, including sexually transmitted diseases, will be treated at the gynecology department.<br>(Please note that even if symptoms are present, there may be cases where medical treatment is at your own expense depending on the illness.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Test results are mainly sent via LINE, and as a general rule, there is no need for you to come to the clinic to have the results explained. However, for some diseases, we may recommend a follow-up visit if a more detailed explanation is required or if treatment is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" style=\"font-family:sans-serif\" href=\"https:\/\/reserve.clinicten.jp\/reservations\/new?clinic=01&amp;department=10&amp;treatmentKind=10D\">Make an appointment with the Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Characteristics of typical sexually transmitted diseases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Chlamydia<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The symptoms are not so strong that it is easily overlooked, but if it infects women it can cause infertility. It is a disease that requires careful attention because it is easily overlooked and the infection can easily spread to partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Gonorrhea<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Like chlamydia, it is often asymptomatic when it infects women, and if not treated appropriately, it can lead to infertility, so it is a disease that requires thorough testing and treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Mycoplasma genitalium<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to chlamydia and gonorrhea, Mycoplasma genitalium is becoming more resistant to treatment and can persist for a long period of time if not treated appropriately. It has also been reported that Mycoplasma genitalium may increase the risk of premature birth if it infects women. When a sexually transmitted disease is suspected, testing should be performed with the possibility of Mycoplasma genitalium in mind, and if the test is positive, it is recommended that appropriate treatment be started early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Trichomonas<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Trichomonas is a protozoan (parasite) that infects the female genital tract, and is known to cause urethritis when it infects the male genital tract. While the condition often improves naturally without any noticeable symptoms, in some cases the infection can persist for several months. If you suspect you may be infected with Trichomonas as a sexually transmitted disease, you should be tested promptly, and if you are infected, you should receive appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About insurance-covered medical treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have symptoms such as vaginal discharge or itching in the sensitive areas, treatment for sexually transmitted diseases may also be covered by insurance. If you are experiencing symptoms for the first time or if symptoms reappear after treatment has been completed, please make an appointment for your first consultation at a gynecologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the consultation, we will ask about your symptoms and history, and then perform any necessary tests, intravenous drips, or oral medications. We will notify you of the test results via LINE, etc., but depending on the results of the tests, we may ask you to come in for another consultation and receive a detailed explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The estimated cost of STI testing and treatment under health insurance is around 2,000-4,000 yen, assuming a 30% self-pay. Please note that this will vary depending on the type of test and whether or not a prescription is given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About private medical treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wish to receive testing or treatment even if you have no symptoms, you can receive treatment at your own expense. Also, if you test positive at your own expense, subsequent treatment may be covered by insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" style=\"font-family:sans-serif\" href=\"https:\/\/reserve.clinicten.jp\/reservations\/new?clinic=01&amp;department=10&amp;treatmentKind=10D\">Make an appointment with the Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-lazyblock-label-head-2 lazyblock-label-head-2-bQGei\"><div class=\"c-head c-head--\">\n  <span id=\"flow\" class=\"c-head__anc\"><\/span>\n  <p class=\"c-head__label\" >FLOW<\/p>\n  <h2 class=\"c-head__text\" >Consultation Process<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-lazyblock-explanation-large lazyblock-explanation-large-Z2b8xmD\"><div class=\"c-info\">\n  <div class=\"c-info__col c-info__col--image\">\n    <div class=\"c-info__thumb\">\n      <div class=\"c-info__title h-sp\">\n        <h3>Reservation &#038; Online Medical Questionnaire<\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"c-info__pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/clinicten.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/img_01-1.jpg\" alt=\"Reservation &#038; Online Medical Questionnaire\">\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"c-info__col c-info__col--des\">\n    <div class=\"c-info__main\">\n      <div class=\"c-info__title h-pc\">\n        <h3>Reservation &#038; Online Medical Questionnaire<\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n      <p class=\"c-info__body\">Our clinic operates on a complete online reservation system.
