Sexual Health
Can these 7 diseases be transmitted through sexual behavior? What are the sexually transmitted diseases that men and women should prevent
Sexually transmitted diseases are very embarrassing, mainly related to sexual behavior, and suffer significant physical and mental torment. Nowadays, people's sexual thinking is becoming increasingly open, and even some young men or women frequently switch sexual partners, which is the main factor leading to sexually transmitted diseases.
What diseases are transmitted through sexual behavior?
1. Syphilis
Syphilis is divided into three stages. The first stage is called chancre, which lasts for about 6 weeks. There is a painless inflammatory reaction in the genital area. The second stage is a rash on the limbs that lasts for several weeks, accompanied by flu like symptoms and hair loss. The third stage is that after many years of infection, the large arteries and heart are damaged to varying degrees, and even mental illness, heart disease, or paralysis may occur.
2. AIDS
AIDS is a venereal disease that everyone fears and is caused by HIV. HIV attacks the immune system and is spread mainly through unprotected sex. AIDS has an incubation period of many years. Its early symptoms are swollen lymph nodes, persistent low fever, general weakness and fatigue, unexplained weight loss and muscle pain, and it is vulnerable to infection. When AIDS reaches its later stage, the immune system will be severely damaged, which will lead to fatal infections and malignant tumors. So far there is no way to completely cure AIDS, only drugs to control the development of the disease.
3. Chlamydia infection
When men are infected with chlamydia, their symptoms are easily confused with urinary tract infections. Chlamydia infection has a strong transmissibility, so they should actively cooperate with doctors for antibiotic treatment. If left unchecked, it can cause pelvic infections or lead to male infertility
4. Gonorrhea
When men suffer from gonorrhea, they may experience turbid urine heat, painful urination, and obvious discomfort in the testicles. Female patients experience significant pain, urination pain, or bleeding during sexual activity, irregular menstruation, and accompanied by yellow green secretions. Antibiotic treatment can be chosen, but it cannot be delayed to avoid inducing pelvic inflammatory disease or urethritis.
5. Genital wart
The main symptom of genital distress is the appearance of small granulations around the reproductive organs or anus, without pain, but with a itching sensation. Following the doctor's instructions to apply ointment and try to wear a condom during sexual activity can prevent the spread of genital warts.
6. Genital herpes
