A sexually transmitted disease is an infection passed from one person to another through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Some can also spread through blood or from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.

What are the most common STDs?

The most common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, hepatitis B and C, and HIV/AIDS.

What symptoms should I look for?

Possible symptoms include pain or burning when urinating, unusual genital discharge, sores, blisters, or rash in the genital area, lower abdominal or pelvic pain, and fever or fatigue. Many STDs can be present without symptoms.

How are STDs diagnosed?

Diagnosis may involve blood tests, urine tests, or swabs from the genital area or throat.

Some STDs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, can be cured with antibiotics. Others, like herpes and HIV, cannot be cured but can be managed effectively with medication.

How can I prevent an STD?

Prevention steps include using condoms every time you have sex, getting regular STD screenings, having a mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner, and avoiding needle sharing.

What should I do if I think I have an STD?

Seek medical attention promptly. Early diagnosis and treatment protect your health and help prevent spreading the infection to others.

Prostate Cancer

Updated: Jul 8

Early Detection, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, especially over the age of 50. Early detection is key to successful treatment. At our clinic in Tbilisi, we offer complete prostate cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment using international guidelines and up-to-date technologies.

What Is Prostate Cancer?

Prostate cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the prostate gland. While some forms grow slowly and may not cause harm, others can be aggressive and spread if not treated in time.

Who Is at Risk?

Men over age 50
Family history of prostate cancer
African or Caucasian ethnicity
Obesity and sedentary lifestyle

Common Symptoms (Usually in Later Stages)

Difficulty urinating
Weak urine flow
Frequent urination (especially at night)
Blood in urine or semen
Pelvic discomfort or bone pain (advanced cases)

Most early-stage prostate cancers cause no symptoms, which is why regular PSA testing and prostate exams are crucial.

Diagnosis

Prostate cancer diagnostics consists of:

PSA blood test (Prostate-Specific Antigen)
Digital rectal exam (DRE)
Multiparametric prostate MRI
Prostate biopsy, if indicated

Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the stage, grade, and aggressiveness of the cancer:

Active surveillance – for low-risk cases
Surgery – radical prostatectomy
Radiation therapy
Hormone therapy (androgen deprivation)
Chemotherapy for advanced cases

We work closely with oncologists and radiation specialists for a multidisciplinary approach.
