title: Women's health. Sexually transmitted diseases.
abstract: When providing health care for women, one of the more common problems facing the primary care physician is sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It is important to be able to develop an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan for STDs to reduce the potential long-term sequelae of these infections. It is also vital for the primary care physician to provide counseling for patients with STDs to improve compliance with the treatment regimens and prevent any further risk-taking behavior.
