The initial symptoms of genital herpes are mainly itching and burning in the genital area, followed by clusters of small blisters

2. Condyloma acuminatum

The main symptoms of genital warts are the appearance of light red or grayish brown, cauliflower shaped or chicken coronal, and pedunculated warts on the genital area, which are prone to bleeding and have a moist and granular surface.

3. Gonorrhea

The initial symptoms of gonorrhea include redness and swelling of the urethral opening, pus discharge, burning and tingling sensation, difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and pus discharge from the urethral opening. If left untreated, it can turn into chronic urethritis.

4. Syphilis

The main manifestation of syphilis is the appearance of painless ulcers in the genital area, known as prickly heat under the skin.

The symptoms of non shower urethritis are similar to shower syndrome, but lighter than shower syndrome. If there is transparent and sticky secretion at the urethral opening, it may be non gonococcal urethritis.

Methods for preventing sexually transmitted diseases

1. Avoiding certain sexual behaviors such as oral sex and anal crossing can increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Taking anal sex as an example, the rectal epithelium is usually softer than the vaginal epithelium, and anal sex is more likely to damage the mucosa and cause infection than vaginal sex. Some infectious diseases are transmitted through the oral fecal route, so avoiding oral anal or finger anal sexual behavior can reduce the chances of infection for such diseases.

2. Combination use of barrier tools and spermicides: Penile sleeves and uterine caps that use spermicides as lubricants have both mechanical and chemical spermicidal effects. Contraceptive sponges made from spermicides and sponges are very popular abroad. Before sexual activity or during sexual intercourse, it can be placed in the vagina for at least 30 hours.

3. Avoid sexual intercourse when there are abnormalities: When a sexual partner's external genitalia is found to have lesions, ulcers, or abnormal secretions, sexual intercourse should be avoided and they should be required to seek medical treatment.

4. Cleanliness: This is a very safe and simple prevention method. Many sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea, genital herpes, condyloma acuminatum, nongonococcal urethritis, AIDS, are asymptomatic at the initial stage or at a mild stage, and cannot be identified in time after infection. Only by cleaning yourself and avoiding extramarital behaviors, can you avoid the risk of infectious diseases.
