By Nina Ruggiero October 28, 2016. While the crown of the Statue of Liberty offers striking views of New York City, many wonder why they can't climb all the way up to her golden torch. The average person will tell you the answer is simple: structural damage caused by years of wear and tear.
Men who thought they might have chlamydia or gonorrhea got tested by having a swab inserted into their urethra. Women had to undergo a pelvic exam. Fortunately, thanks to technology, that's no longer true. These days, both of these STDs can now be detected via urine testing. Urine chlamydia tests and gonorrhea tests are a heck of a lot more pleasant than urethral swabs. In some places urine testing can be a bit more difficult to find. However, it's getting easier and easier every year.
Although most STDs donât show signs or symptoms, some possible signs of an STD include the following: 1  Pain when you urinate or have sex. 2  Discharge from the vagina, penis, anus, or throat. 3  Unexplained rash or lesion.  Jaundice (yellow color of the skin and eyes).
