If you have any questions, to schedule a consultation,<\/a> please <\/a>contact us<\/a> or call\/text: <\/strong>1-646-663-4125<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n At New York Urology Specialists, each patient is evaluated individually in a confidential, non-judgemental manner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Our experienced physicians can diagnose and treat<\/strong> problems associated with sexual activity when they see you. Often a definitive or presumptive diagnosis can be made during your visit, and appropriate treatment is administered right in our office,<\/strong> or medications can be sent to the pharmacy of your choice. <\/p>\n Same-day virtual video appointments<\/strong> and in-person<\/strong> appointments are available.<\/p>\n While there are many ‘STD testing” centers in NYC, including free STD clinics, few offer a <\/span>comprehensive evaluation by a board-certified urologist. <\/strong>Even fewer perform a comprehensive evaluation and testing for sexually transmitted diseases as well as general health issues.<\/span><\/p>\n Typical tests ordered in free clinics and other “Urgent Clinics” for STDs miss up to 30% of STDs<\/strong>. At New York Urology Specialists, we also treat complex problems such as urethritis, prostatitis, pelvic pain, and burning sensation.<\/p>\n To schedule a same-day or next-day STD testing, schedule a consultation,<\/a> or please <\/a>contact us<\/a> or call\/text: <\/strong>1-646-663-4125<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n In addition, we offer HPV testing<\/strong><\/a> when necessary, as well as herpes testing<\/strong><\/a> when necessary.<\/p>\n Most chain clinics are not staffed by physicians, and even fewer have physicians who specialize in treating men with STDs.<\/p>\n Read our 2023 update on the 2021 CDC Guidelines for Mycoplasma treatment<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Gardasil-9 HPV vaccine<\/strong><\/a> is approved for the prevention of HPV infections that cause genital warts and cervical cancer as well as penile cancer. New York Urology Specialists offer HPV vaccination to teenagers, adolescents, and adults with the Gardasil-9 vaccine that covers 9 different HPV viruses that cause genital warts and HPV-related cancers in men and women. <\/p>\n We offer effective treatment for genital warts, including genital wart removal. In addition, we offer HPV vaccination to men and women with frequent recurrence of genital warts<\/a>. <\/p>\n We treat genital warts in men, including penile warts<\/a><\/strong> as well as scrotal warts<\/a><\/strong>. We can also remove warts on your thighs and lower abdomen.<\/p>\n New York Urology Specialists is one of the few practices in the United States that offers treatment of urethral warts<\/a><\/strong> in the office under local anesthesia without requiring patients to go to a hospital and have general anesthesia. This can also save you thousands of dollars!<\/p>\n When you undergo genital wart removal at New York Urology Specialists, recovery after genital wart removal<\/a><\/strong> is smooth and easy.<\/p>\n Wondering how to prevent your sexual partners from getting HPV and genital warts<\/a><\/strong>? You’re not alone. We treat couples as well as patients with more complicated situations.<\/p>\n We offer same-day treatment for genital warts<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n If you went elsewhere for your testing and treatment for STDs, but your symptoms have persisted, seeing a specialist at New York Urology Specialists makes sense<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Many patients we see for a second opinion have not received the appropriate treatment as recommended by the most recent CDC guidelines. Many “STD Testing Clinics,” in fact, do not perform a minimal history and physical exam, which can lead to less than optimal outcomes.<\/p>\n In addition to the most comprehensive STD testing, we offer preventive options,<\/strong> including HPV vaccination<\/a>, as well as HIV prevention for high-risk individuals. With many men and women not having a regular primary care physician, New York Urology Specialists often detect and help our patients address serious medical issues other than STDs. “Quick STD Clinics” lack a focus on the bigger picture of your health.<\/p>\n If you have symptoms related to STDs or urinary tract, our board-certified urologists can treat you even if you do not have an STD. We treat urinary tract infections (UTI) <\/a><\/strong>as well as symptoms of overactive bladder<\/a><\/strong>. Many patients have urethritis after oral sex<\/a>; urethritis is also common after anal sex in men<\/a>. UTIs after sex are common in women. We also treat vaginal yeast infections.<\/a> A severe UTI or an STD can also lead to prostatitis in men<\/a>. In essence, you save an extra visit to a urologist by coming to us for your STD testing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We offer both STD testing and STI treatment.<\/strong> Our treatment is based on the most recent CDC (Centers for Disease Control) recommendations. We also offer genital wart removal<\/strong><\/a> and treatment for more complicated infections that other clinics are simply not able to provide.<\/p>\n New York City has one of the highest rates<\/strong> in the country for sexually transmitted diseases. For example, the risk of HIV in New York City<\/a> is almost twice the national average and especially high for men over age 30, with the risk being persistently high for men over age 60. Gay men are especially at risk, with rates up to 10 times higher than for the rest of the population. Similarly, the risk for other STDs is also higher in NYC.<\/p>\n What that means is that your sexual partners in NYC are much more likely to have STDs – another reason for regular testing. <\/strong> Sometimes the question is not who you sleep with but who your sexual partners have been sleeping with. Your risk is a factor of both your exposure and the exposure of each of your sexual partners, which could be exponential. <\/strong><\/p>\n While it may be obvious that vaginal, oral, and\/or anal sex can lead to transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, it is less obvious that commonly used methods to prevent STDs may still allow transmission of sexually transmitted diseases<\/strong>. While heterosexual men, in general, have a lower risk of sexually transmitted diseases than gay men, the actual risk varies depending on the number of sexual partners and sexual practices. In general, all men in New York City are at higher risk for STDs than elsewhere in the country.<\/p>\n A recent study of American men showed that 0.7% of all men are infected with HIV,<\/strong> 61% of men are seropositive for herpes, and 14% are infected or have been exposed to HPV<\/strong> (human papillomavirus). HPV is the cause of genital warts, oral cancer, penile cancer, cervical cancer in women, and anal cancer in gay men.<\/span><\/p>\n Some sexually transmitted diseases are transmitted mostly through fluids; others<\/strong> can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact<\/strong>. HIV can be transmitted through semen, blood, and urine. We now recognize that HIV may also be transmitted by kissing and saliva, especially when there are obvious or microscopic skin or mucosal breakdowns.<\/p>\n Other sexually transmitted diseases may be transmitted through skin contact, for example, the herpes virus. Wearing a barrier such as a condom may decrease the chances of herpes transmission<\/strong> but does not eliminate it.<\/p>\n It is important to understand that even men who always use condoms may become infected with a sexually transmitted disease.<\/p>\n It is important to note that many sexually transmitted diseases may not cause any symptoms<\/strong> in men and women or may cause them infrequently. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends STD testing for all men and women who are at risk for sexually transmitted diseases.<\/p>\n All sexually active men and women are advised to be tested for STDs by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). CDC recommends STD testing for women and both heterosexual men at risk as well as men who have sex with men.<\/p>\n If your partner has tested positive for a sexually transmitted disease, you should be tested as well.<\/p>\n When it comes to testing for sexually transmitted diseases, it is important that the testing is comprehensive, or it may miss an infection. You could get an infection even if your partner did not test positive for the same infection.<\/strong> Some men and women may get infected with a sexually transmitted disease and transmit it to others but test negative because at the time of testing, their immune system may have cleared the disease from the system, or the test may have missed it.<\/p>\n We may also test you for other conditions after individual evaluation if the clinical situation requires it, such as Hepatitis B and C viruses.<\/p>\n Vaccination for HPV<\/a> <\/strong>(Human Papilloma Virus)<\/p>\n Removal of genital warts<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n We now offer HPV vaccination<\/strong><\/a> with the most effective vaccine on the market, Gardasil-9<\/a><\/strong>. The vaccination is a good choice for every man and woman under age 45 and men and women who are at higher risk for acquiring HPV over the age of 45. Older men can also get the Gardasil-9 HPV vaccine.<\/p>\n If you have any questions, to schedule a consultation,<\/a> please <\/a>contact us<\/a> or call\/text: <\/strong>1-646-663-4125<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Urologists are doctors specializing in the treatment of infections in men and women caused by sexually transmitted diseases as well as bladder infections (UTI). By virtue of our experience and skill, we are able to offer an effective treatment option for nearly every man and woman with urinary problems and bladder control problems. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nNew!<\/span> Big Savings – Low STD Testing Rates<\/h2>\n
