How to determine if you have a sexually transmitted disease? Seven daily precautions for preventable diseases

How do you know you have a sexually transmitted disease? Sexually transmitted diseases are common infectious diseases. Today, let's learn about them with the editor.

How to know if you have a sexually transmitted disease should be considered from three aspects

1. Symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases. Common symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases include frequent urination, painful urination, burning sensation in the urethra, redness and swelling of the urethral opening, and pus discharge in males. Women with increased vaginal discharge have a foul odor, manifested as pain during urination and sexual intercourse.

Both men and women can experience herpes, induration, ulcers, warts, etc. near the genitalia. But not all sexually transmitted diseases can see these symptoms. Some people, especially some women, have less obvious symptoms after contracting sexually transmitted diseases; Some people experience herpes and ulcers in concealed areas, such as the female vagina and the foreskin of the male penis; Some sexually transmitted diseases (such as syphilis) can first manifest in other parts of the body, such as the lips, pharynx, and so on. So, the absence of symptoms of genital areas does not necessarily indicate the absence of sexually transmitted diseases; People who do not show obvious symptoms can still spread sexually transmitted diseases.

2. Have you ever had sexual intercourse with someone you don't know.

3. Have you ever had direct or indirect non sexual contact with a sexually transmitted disease patient. Like kissing a syphilitic patient. The lesions of syphilis patients can occur not only in the genitals and perineum, but also in the lips and tongue, where there are many Treponema pallidum. Kissing such patients is highly likely to be infected with syphilis. Or have come into contact with the patient's secretions, which contain pathogens that can cause sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea, which can be indirectly transmitted through contact.

What should sexually transmitted disease patients pay attention to in their daily lives?

1. Abstain from alcohol

Drinking alcohol is a taboo for patients with sexually transmitted diseases. Drinking alcohol can weaken the body's resistance, promote the deterioration and spread of inflammation, and sexually transmitted diseases can cause degeneration or complications such as prostatitis and orchitis. Drinking alcohol remains an important cause of recurrence of sexually transmitted diseases.

2. Disease prevention

A common phenomenon in daily life is that when a patient has a high fever, a series of blisters often appear on their lips. In fact, this is the herpes simplex virus that lurks in the body. When the body's immune system is weakened due to illness, it becomes a result of making waves. Illness can weaken the body's immune system, leading to the recurrence or aggravation of existing sexually transmitted diseases. Genital herpes, genital warts, etc., are prone to recurrence under the stimulation of systemic or local inflammation; Diabetes, AIDS and other diseases will aggravate the original sexually transmitted diseases. Repeated infection with sexually transmitted diseases can push them to the brink of incurrence. Therefore, after suffering from sexually transmitted diseases, attention should be paid to disease prevention and active treatment of other diseases in the body, especially to avoid re infection with sexually transmitted diseases.
