Some of the problems may be seen at birth, while others might not be noticeable until months or years later. These problems may be prevented with STD testing and treatment, as well as regular medical care during pregnancy.If you are planning to carry your pregnancy to term, be sure to talk to your primary healthcare provider about full panel STD testing.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;STDs and Abortion&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>STDs and Abortion<\/h3>\n<p>STDs can also pose serious complications for those who have abortions. Untreated STDs increase the risk of infections, such as Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), which is a more serious and potentially deadly infection located deeper in your reproductive tract. Those considering abortion should be tested and treated for STDs prior to the procedure. Focus Women\u2019s Center offers FREE confidential testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea for patients that are considering abortion.
