Common types and symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases
Chlamydia disease - This is a bacterial infection and is currently the most common sexually transmitted disease, but early treatment can be treated with antibiotics. 75% of women and 25% of men have no symptoms.
Symptoms of this sexually transmitted disease include abnormal excretion, painful urination, lower abdominal pain, or pain during sexual intercourse.
Gonorrhea - This is a bacterial transmitted disease that can attack a person's cervix, urethra, rectum, eyes, or throat, and often coexists with chlamydia.
The symptoms of this sexually transmitted disease are pain and itching when urinating, and perhaps you don't have any symptoms either.
Human papillomavirus, also known as HPV or genital warts, is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the United States. As the name suggests, this disease is a virus, and once infected, it will last for a lifetime. Warts may appear in the external genitalia, vagina, cervix, anus, and even in the throat. The treatment methods for genital warts include: cryotherapy, laser therapy, surgical resection or chemotherapy. After treatment, genital warts may recur in the future, and this virus can also cause cervical cancer. Therefore, for women who have already contracted HPV, it is necessary to conduct a Pap test at least once a year. Multiple Pap tests should be conducted for susceptible infections.
Symptoms of this sexually transmitted disease: warts may appear in the vulva, vagina, cervix, anus, or throat.
Genital herpes, also known as type 2 herpes, is transmitted through skin contact. The symptoms begin to manifest as itching or burning pain in the genitals, thighs, or buttocks. Then, obvious ulcers may appear in the genitals, buttocks, anus, or other parts of the body. These wounds will heal within a few weeks, but for most people, the disease will recur. Although herpes cannot be eradicated, it can be controlled by taking antiviral drugs, which can reduce the frequency of outbreaks and alleviate the condition. But getting herpes during pregnancy can cause serious syndromes. Genital herpes is one of the sexually transmitted diseases caused by herpes simplex virus types I and II.
