You need to have a sexual health check:

If you notice pain on passing urine or during sex
If you have lumps or sores on the genital area, an unusual discharge, rash, itchiness or smell, or if your sexual partner has these symptoms
If you have had unsafe sex (sex without a condom)
If you are worried for any reason

Important things to remember about your sexual health:

You may have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) without having any symptoms
Some STIs can affect fertility in men and women
STIs can be transferred from a mother to her baby and cause problems during pregnancy or after birth
Being in a long term relationship is no guarantee you can't have an STI as you can have an STI for months or years
