Is it possible to avoid contracting sexually transmitted diseases as long as you wear a condom? Do you know the 7 misconceptions about sexually transmitted diseases

90% of sexually transmitted diseases are caused by not paying attention to sexual hygiene and excessive confusion in sexual life. People have a great misunderstanding of sexually transmitted diseases, which affects the optimal treatment time. It is necessary to avoid the seven misunderstandings of sexually transmitted diseases.

7 misconceptions about sexually transmitted diseases

1. As long as you wear a condom, you won't be infected with sexually transmitted diseases

The use of condoms can effectively prevent sexually transmitted diseases, but this does not mean that they can be 100% prevented. If condoms are used improperly, such as using them halfway through sexual intercourse or if they are damaged, continuing sexual intercourse after ejaculation, or if the condom ruptures during sexual intercourse, it may be infected with sexually transmitted diseases.

2. Oral sex does not infect sexually transmitted diseases

In fact, oral sex is the main method of infection of sexually transmitted diseases. Syphilis, non gonococcal urethritis, AIDS and other common sexually transmitted diseases in life may be infected through oral sex.

3. No need to wear a condom when taking antibiotics

Some people believe that patients with sexually transmitted diseases do not need to wear condoms for sexual activity as long as they take antibiotics. This is not the case. Antibiotics have a certain effect on bacterial venereal diseases, but have no effect on AIDS and herpes. The use of antibiotics can bring resistance to bacteria.

4. Immediately after having sex, urinate and avoid sexually transmitted diseases

Even urinating immediately after sexual intercourse cannot prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Especially for female patients who urinate after sexual activity, it can immediately empty the bacteria in the bladder and prevent acute cystitis

5. Taking vitamin C before sexual activity can prevent sexually transmitted diseases

Vitamin C is essential in our daily lives, with anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects, but it has no effect on preventing sexually transmitted diseases. We cannot believe that taking vitamin C can prevent sexually transmitted diseases, as there is no scientific basis for this.

6. Sexually transmitted diseases only show obvious symptoms on the sexual organs

In addition to suffering from diseases of the urinary and reproductive organs, sexually transmitted diseases are mainly manifested in other parts of the body, such as the joint skin, near the anus, eyes, mouth, and rectum.

7. As long as there are no obvious symptoms, sexually transmitted diseases do not require further treatment

Patients with sexually transmitted diseases have a certain process in the treatment process, and they should not stop receiving treatment just because there are no symptoms. This can easily lead to the recurrence of the disease, and even lead to drug resistance and chronic diseases.

To prevent sexually transmitted diseases from entering the above-mentioned misconceptions, try to wear condoms as much as possible and avoid sexual intercourse during sexually transmitted disease activities, otherwise it may infect your partner.
