Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are infections that are primarily spread through sexual contact. They can affect individuals of all ages and backgrounds and often go undiagnosed due to stigma or a lack of symptoms in the early stages. At Shillong Radioclinics, Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma, MD, offers confidential, non-judgmental, and evidence-based diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of STIs.

With over 16 years of experience in clinical dermatology, Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma understands the importance of early detection and proper management of STIs—not just for individual health, but also for preventing transmission to others. His approach emphasizes patient privacy, comfort, and education.

Common STIs treated at Shillong Radioclinics include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), HIV, trichomoniasis, and genital warts

Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma offers comprehensive STI screening using modern diagnostic tools, including blood tests, swabs, and urine tests, to ensure accurate and timely results. Once a diagnosis is made, treatment is personalized based on the type of infection and the patient’s overall health.

Many bacterial STIs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, are curable with antibiotics when diagnosed early. Viral infections like herpes and HIV can be effectively managed with antiviral therapies that reduce symptoms, suppress the virus, and minimize transmission risk.

In addition to medical treatment, Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma provides counseling on safe sex practices, partner notification, and strategies to prevent reinfection. He strongly believes in empowering patients with the knowledge they need to take control of their sexual health.

HPV-related conditions, including genital warts, are managed through topical treatments, cryotherapy, or laser removal. Dr. Sangma also advises eligible patients about HPV vaccination as a preventive measure.
