Reproductive Tract Infections (RTIs) are infections that affect the reproductive organs in both men and women. These infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, and are not always sexually transmitted. Common symptoms include abnormal discharge, pelvic pain, painful urination, and irregular bleeding, though some RTIs may be silent in the early stages.
There are three main types of RTIs: endogenous infections (like yeast infections), sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, and iatrogenic infections resulting from unsafe medical procedures. If left untreated, RTIs can lead to serious complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility.
Proper diagnosis through lab tests and prompt treatment with antibiotics or antifungals is essential. Good hygiene, safe sex practices, and regular health check-ups can help prevent RTIs. In India, where stigma and limited access can delay care, online doctor consultations offer a discreet and convenient way to seek help.
