Episode 39: Impact of STIs on Sexual Health and Functioning

In this episode with host Shelly Varod, we dive deep into the impact of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) on sexual health and functioning with expert insights from Dr. Naomi Sutton, a sexual health consultant in the UK. Dr. Sutton shares her experiences treating various STIs, including HIV, syphilis, and gonorrhea, and emphasizes the importance of regular testing, especially since many STIs can be asymptomatic. We explore the potential complications of untreated STIs, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility, and how they can affect sexual function. Rising STI rates, driven by factors like changing sexual behaviors, reduced condom use, and cuts to sexual health services, are also discussed. Dr. Sutton tackles the stigma and shame surrounding STIs and how it prevents people from seeking help. While effective medical treatments are available, addressing the psychological and social challenges of living with an STI is just as crucial. Tune in to hear valuable advice on staying informed, getting tested, and navigating the emotional aspects of sexual health!
