What are the symptoms and manifestations of female sexually transmitted diseases? The top 5 symptoms of female sexually transmitted diseases should be clearly defined

From a physiological perspective, women are more susceptible to sexually transmitted diseases than men. The inner wall of the female vagina is a thin layer of mucosa that is prone to infection. Moreover, women are exposed to infection sources for longer periods of time than men, as sperm and organic sources of infection can accumulate in the vagina, resulting in more serious consequences. It is estimated that approximately 6 million women in the United States are infected with sexually transmitted diseases each year, and in recent years, the number of female infections in China has been increasing year by year.

The diagnosis of female sexually transmitted diseases is also relatively difficult, partly because some sexually transmitted diseases have no symptoms after infection, even if damage to the human body or other signs already exist, these symptoms are often hidden in the vagina and are not easy to detect. So, what are the symptoms of these female sexually transmitted diseases?

Symptom 1: Increased vaginal discharge, yellow or green pus, often accompanied by pain during urination, increased frequency of urination, and insufficient urine.

Reminder: Gonorrhea

It is worth reminding that some women infected with gonorrhea have no symptoms or mild symptoms, often leading to delayed treatment. But male gonorrhea patients have obvious symptoms, and male gonorrhea is more easily transmitted to males than females. If there is sexual contact with gonorrhea patients, the likelihood of infection in women is 40-60%. Therefore, women should learn to protect themselves and avoid sexual contact with men with symptoms of gonorrhea. If dangerous sexual activity occurs, even if a woman has no symptoms, she should go to the hospital for examination for early diagnosis and treatment.

Symptom 2: Increased vaginal discharge, tofu residue like, white, caked, and significantly increased in number. Often accompanied by itching of the internal and external genitalia, the itching is often very intense.

Reminder: Candida (fungal) vaginitis

This disease can be sexually transmitted to others, so it belongs to a wide range of sexually transmitted diseases. Unlike other sexually transmitted diseases, candidal vaginitis is a very common female vaginitis. 75% of women have experienced it once in their lifetime, and 40% to 50% have experienced it more than twice. In terms of age of onset, the best age of onset is about 20 years old, and the lowest incidence rate is over 50 years old. Some women are infected through unclean behavior: if they do not pay attention to external genital cleaning or use unclean toilet paper and sanitary napkins; Broad-spectrum antibiotics are widely used, killing normal bacteria in the vagina, leading to dysbiosis of the bacterial community and promoting the growth of diseased fungi; Because of the high blood sugar content, patients with diabetes are prone to be infected with candidal vaginitis.
