What You Need to Know about STD Testing

 

Dr. Samuel Bride is the medical director at UMD Urgent Care in New York, NY, US, where he oversees staff members and treats patients for a variety of conditions. A physician who earned his MD from the Boston University School of Medicine, Dr. Samuel “Sam” Bride has a background in urology. As a result, he is familiar with the testing and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

STDs are transmitted through unprotected sexual activity between two or more partners. Examples include genital herpes, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. Different STDs have different symptoms. Some of the more common symptoms are genital sores or discharge, a burning sensation while urinating, flu-like symptoms, and pain or itchiness in the groin.

People experiencing symptoms are likely to seek medical care. Sometimes, however, people with STDs don’t have any symptoms. This does not mean they are not sick. In fact, the longer they remain untreated, the more the disease can compromise their health. With this in mind, the CDC recommends that all people who are sexually active get tested at least once annually.

IV Therapy for Enhanced Health

 

An accomplished New York, NY, US-area physician and surgeon, Dr. Samuel “Sam” Bride holds an MD from the Boston University School of Medicine, where he also completed a general surgery residency. Presently, Dr. Samuel Bride is the medical director and an urgent care physician at UMD. He oversees the operations at UMD Urgent Care clinics, which provide patients with a range of medical treatments and services such as intravenous (IV) therapy.

A popular health and wellness treatment suitable for anyone, IV therapy involves the administration of specifically chosen nutrients and antioxidants into the body intravenously. Since the treatment bypasses the digestive tract, it increases the efficiency of nutrient delivery and increases hydration levels to provides immediately noticeable results. Most IV treatment sessions require 20 to 60 minutes to administer.

IV therapy is commonly used to boost the immune system, bolster athletic performance and endurance, and increase energy levels by reducing molecular-sized byproducts known as free radicals. It also improves metabolism and cognitive function.

The effects of IV therapy are visibly apparent on the body through improved skin tone and softness. IV therapy is proven to add moisture to the lips and eyes and improves the strength of hair and nails.

Is Strep Throat a Medical Emergency?

  

After working in clinical appointments at healthcare centers in several US states and serving as a volunteer in The Gambia, West Africa, Samuel Bride, MD, started his role as the medical director of the UMD urgent care facility in New York, NY. In this position, Dr. Samuel (Sam) Bride treats patients who require immediate medical attention for illnesses such as strep throat.

Strep throat is caused by the bacteria group A streptococcus, which is highly contagious. Early symptoms include painful swelling in the throat and lymph nodes, fever, and white patches on the tonsils. While people can recover from strep throat without treatment, urgent care may be necessary for certain situations.

For example, children under age 15 with an untreated strep infection are more susceptible to developing rheumatic fever. The bacterial infection can also spread to other parts of the body. If a patient with a sore throat experiences ongoing fever, swelling, or a rash, they should have a strep test.
