Sexual Health
How can I diagnose whether I have a sexually transmitted disease? What are the symptoms of women suffering from sexually transmitted diseases
Sexually transmitted diseases are also one of the common diseases, and their main mode of transmission is sexual transmission, but not limited to sexual transmission. At present, many people have little knowledge about sexually transmitted diseases, which has led to many misunderstandings. Today, let's take a look at four common sexually transmitted diseases and learn how to correctly prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
Four common diseases should be guarded
Pay attention to sexually transmitted diseases 1: syphilis
It is a chronic systemic transmitted disease caused by Treponema pallidum infection, which poses a threat to human health. Syphilis is divided into congenital and acquired syphilis. Syphilis infection has no immunity and can be repeatedly infected. The diagnosis of syphilis requires a comprehensive and systematic understanding of the medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests.
Pay attention to sexually transmitted diseases 2: genital warts
Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes genital, perianal, and perineal epidermal proliferative diseases, which are transmitted between mother and child through sexual contact or contamination in sexually active individuals. This disease is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, and according to some statistics, 64% of patients have phimosis. Women are mainly infected from their spouses or sexual partners. The incubation period of infection is from 1 to 8 months, with most of them feeling unwell, while a few have itching and burning pain. At the beginning, small light red papules appear locally, with a slightly pointed tip, gradually increasing and tending to fuse, presenting as papillary, cauliflower like, or cockscomb like growths.
Pay attention to STD 3: Genital herpes
A sexually transmitted disease caused by the herpes simplex virus, which can cause infections of the skin, mucous membranes, and various organs. Female reproductive organs infected with herpes simplex virus can also infect fetuses vertically through the vagina. The incubation period of newborns is about one week after the primary infection, and a few may be accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever, headache, and muscle pain. The reproductive organs are infected with herpes simplex virus. There are multiple papules, herpes, solitary, dense lesions in the local area, generally not painful or itchy, with small water or pustules, and then erosion or ulcer with pain. It lasts for 1-2 weeks before healing, and antibiotics can be found in the serum for many years. Local symptoms often recur.
Emphasizing STD 4: Non gonococcal urethritis
It is a type of urethritis caused by sexual contact infection. In clinical practice, the symptoms of urethritis are obvious, including itching of the urethra, mild or severe urgency, pain, frequent urination, or difficulty urinating. A small amount of thin secretion overflows from the external opening of the urethra, and the incubation period is 1-3 weeks or months. In a few asymptomatic patients, this disease can still be accompanied by gonococcal urethritis. If not treated in time, it can cause symptomatic epididymitis and prostatitis.
