When it comes to sexually transmitted diseases, the first thing I think of is men. Indeed, according to data from eight years ago, the majority of patients with the disease are men, with a ratio of 8:1 for men and women. However, in recent years, the number of female patients with sexually transmitted diseases has increased rapidly, and now the proportion of male and female patients with sexually transmitted diseases has reached 1.4:1. Moreover, many sexually transmitted diseases with obvious symptoms in men often have no special manifestations in female patients, which delays treatment opportunities.
If female sexually transmitted diseases are not treated in a timely manner, they can cause upward infection, leading to pelvic inflammatory disease, causing sexual difficulties, and lower abdominal and back pain; Can be disassembled to the fallopian tube causing salpingitis, leading to infertility and ectopic pregnancy; Some viruses, such as human papillomavirus and human herpes simplex virus, are associated with the incidence of reproductive system tumors such as cervical cancer, vulvar cancer, and anal cancer. Pregnant women infected with sexually transmitted diseases can also lead to miscarriage, fetal death in the uterus, premature delivery, or infection of newborns during childbirth. If we only treat sexually transmitted diseases at this stage, wouldn't it be too late to repent?
So, is there any way to detect through certain signs that women may have sexually transmitted diseases? The following five conditions are quite characteristic. Once these clues are discovered, women can be highly suspected of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Women and sexual partners can learn to treat and protect themselves in a timely manner.
Signs 1: Increased leucorrhea, yellow or green pus, often accompanied by pain during urination, increased frequency of urination, and conditions that may not prevent urination.
Prompt: gonorrhea
It is worth reminding that some women can have no symptoms or mild symptoms after being infected with gonorrhea, which often delays treatment. Men with gonorrhea have more obvious symptoms, and gonorrhea is more easily transmitted from men to women than from women to men. If you have had a sexual contact with a man who has already contracted gonorrhea without wearing a condom, the likelihood of a woman becoming infected is 40-60%. Therefore, women should learn to protect themselves and avoid sexual contact with men with gonorrhea symptoms. If dangerous sexual behavior has occurred, even if the woman has no symptoms, she should go to the hospital for examination to obtain early diagnosis and treatment.
Tip: When a man is infected with gonorrhea, it is often manifested as yellow pus flowing from the urethral orifice. Gently squeeze along the urethral orifice with your hand, and more pus will overflow.
Sign 2: The vulva is extremely itchy, the leucorrhea increases, there can be foam, and there is often yellow liquid on the underpants.
Tip: Trichomoniasis
This disease can also be transmitted to the other party through sexual behavior, belonging to the broad sense of sexually transmitted diseases. Generally, women are more likely to develop trichomoniasis, mainly due to the destruction of their natural acidic environment. However, men have a low probability of infection and most have no symptoms.
Signs 3: There are ulcers on the surface of the genitals. Most of the symptoms are large yin mirage or small * * with a hardness of about 1 cm in diameter on the inner side, with slight surface ulceration. Women often do not feel any discomfort, and ulcers disappear within a month or so.
Prompt: Early (Phase I) syphilis
This type of ulcer is known in medicine as "hard chancre" and is a special manifestation of early syphilis. Hard chancre has a large number of pathogens on its surface, and the probability of being infected after exposure is extremely high. But because it disappears automatically and is painless, it often does not receive the attention of women and sexual partners.
Signs 4: There are many red spots on the body, which are relatively dark in color. You need to pay attention to them to detect them, and they are not itchy.
Prompt: Phase II syphilis
"If the hard chancre of syphilis is not treated promptly, it will develop into secondary syphilis.". The most typical is the appearance of dark red spots on the palms and soles of the feet, and there can also be peeling around them. If not detected and treated in a timely manner at this time, syphilis will develop into an advanced stage, involving multiple organs throughout the body, making treatment difficult, delaying the course of disease, and even endangering life. Moreover, pregnant women infected with syphilis without timely treatment can transmit the disease to the fetus, so special attention needs to be paid.
Signs 5: There are cauliflower like or serrated creatures around the mouth of the baby, which have no pain sensation when touched and usually have no sensation.
Prompt: Condyloma acuminatum
This accretive epidermis is not red, often grayish white or the color of the skin. If you leave it alone, the accretion will grow larger and more, and it can fill the mouth or even block it. This feature can be used to identify female pseudocondyloma. Pseudocondyloma will not grow or increase, and is not infectious. As long as attention is paid to cleaning and reducing the irritation of leucorrhea on the local area, the symptoms can be alleviated, and treatment is not necessary.
Tip: Pseudocondyloma is common in women with more leucorrhea, and is characterized by small, velvety, caviar, or villous protrusions on the inner side of the vagina, which are relatively uniform in size, pink, or slightly transparent.
