STIs With No Symptoms: Why Regular Triple-Swab Testing Matters for Women in the UK

Did you know that most common STIs show no symptoms in women, especially in the early stages? This silent nature increases health risks and makes regular screening crucial for everyone—regardless of how you feel.

How Common Are Symptomless STIs?

According to the NHS, up to 70% of chlamydia cases and half of all gonorrhoea cases show no symptoms in women. Infections can quietly cause:

• Infertility
• Pelvic inflammatory disease
• Long-term pelvic pain
• Potential harm during pregnancy

Regular screening ensures early diagnosis and effective treatment—even before symptoms appear.

Why Is Multi-Site Swabbing Important?

Different sexual practices can expose multiple body areas—vagina, throat, rectum—to infection. A standard single-site test could miss hidden infections. Our Female Triple-Swab At-Home STI Test Kit checks all these sites for peace of mind!

Who Should Get Tested?

• Anyone starting a new relationship
• Those with multiple partners
• Women with unusual discharge, burning, or pain
• Anyone seeking reassurance
