What are the symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases? Check the 6 methods to prevent sexually transmitted diseases

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a group of infectious diseases that seriously endanger human health. Category: In the past, only syphilis, gonorrhea, chancre and venereal lymphogranuloma were listed as classic venereal diseases. In recent years, in addition to the above four diseases, more than 20 kinds of diseases, including condyloma acuminatum, nongonococcal urethritis, genital herpes, AIDS, inguinal granuloma, pubic lice disease, trichomoniasis, viral hepatitis, scabies, and tinea cruris, have been included in the category of venereal diseases internationally, collectively referred to as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

What are the symptoms of male sexually transmitted diseases?

Symptom 1: skin or mucous membrane damage:

If there are erythema, papules, induration, blisters, erosion and ulcers in the external genitalia such as the foreskin, penis or glans coronal groove, or in the anus, hands, eyelids, lips, tongue, throat, etc., it may suffer from sexually transmitted diseases. For example, the painful ulcer may be chancre, and the single painless ulcer may be a stage I syphilitic chancre; Those with burning pain or clusters of blisters may be genital herpes; Itching, redness, erosion, and milk white cheese like secretion may be caused by coccidiosis; Painless papillary and cauliflower-like verrucous vegetations may be condyloma acuminatum; Wax-like umbilical-concave papules are mostly infectious soft warts; Pudendal itching, gray-black nodules on pubic hair, and moving lice are pubic lice disease.

Symptom 2: symptoms of urinary tract:

If there is mild heat sensation in the anterior urethra, abnormal secretion flows out of the urethra, or symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, difficulty in urination, closed urination and terminal hematuria occur, they may also suffer from sexually transmitted diseases. For example, a large amount of thick purulent secretion at the urethral orifice may be gonorrhea; Only white thin mucus may be non-gonococcal urethritis; Only a small amount of secretion can be seen in the morning or after urination, and even a small amount of gray-white mucus or purulent secretion can be seen when pressing the urethra, which may be prostatitis; Frequent urination, urgent urination, severe pain during urination, burning sensation at the urethral orifice, and even abnormal penis or continuous erection may be acute gonorrhea; If there is inflammatory adhesion at the urethral orifice and the urine flow bifurcates like a fountain, it may be subacute gonorrhea.

Symptom 3. Inguinal lymph node enlargement:

If the lymph nodes are soft and painful, it may be chancroid transverse pain; The patients with hard and mild pain may be venereal lymphogranuloma; Hard and painless people may be syphilis; Persistent enlargement of lymph nodes in the whole body may be the chronic lymph node syndrome of AIDS.

Symptom 4: anorectal pain and inflammation

Anal-rectal pain, inflammation, constipation, rectal secretion, tenesmus and fever may be sexually transmitted diseases or genital herpes.

We all know that sexually transmitted diseases are mainly transmitted through contact, but some sexually transmitted diseases can also be transmitted through contaminated materials. Therefore, in addition to keeping clean, we should also strengthen the cleaning and disinfection work to prevent STDs, especially for families with STDs. The main disinfection methods are:

Sun exposure: venereal pathogens such as treponema pallidum, gonococcus, papillomavirus, etc., are more delicate, and are afraid of both heat and cold. For example, Neisseria gonorrhoeae can only live for 15 minutes at 45 ° C and 90 minutes under ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, everything used by STD patients that can be exposed to the sun should be exposed to the sun for 2-3 hours to achieve the purpose of disinfection.

Soaking: For some dirts that can be soaked, they can be disinfected by soaking in bleaching powder solution containing 0.1-0.5% effective chlorine or 6% hydrogen peroxide and other disinfectants for 30 minutes.

Boiling: clothes worn by patients, used towels, bath towels, bowls, basins, etc. can be sterilized by boiling. But wash with soap before cooking. Then put it into the pot for boiling. Items contaminated by AIDS should be boiled for 20 minutes, usually for a few minutes, to kill sexual pathogens.

Wipe: items that cannot be dried or boiled, such as toilets, doors and windows, tables and chairs, can be disinfected by wiping. Rinse with water before wiping, and then wipe with disinfectant. The commonly used disinfectant is bleach solution containing 5% effective chlorine, which can also be used as lye.

Ventilation: regular window ventilation can keep the indoor air fresh and dry, and also has a certain sterilization effect.

How to disinfect STD patients: The above contents about the disinfection of STD patients and their environment are introduced. Doing these works well can effectively reduce the transmission of STDs to others and the treatment of STDs.

Things you must know to prevent sexually transmitted diseases

As we all know, the main way of infection of sexually transmitted diseases is through sexual contact, especially sexual organ contact, so the way to prevent infection is to take some "self-defense" in sexual contact. Six ways to prevent STDs:

1、 Keep clean: 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 "keeping clean" and avoiding extramarital sexual behavior will there be no risk of sexually transmitted diseases.

2、 Avoid some sexual behaviors: oral sex, anal sex and other bad sexual behaviors can increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Taking anal sex as an example, because rectal epithelium is usually more delicate than vaginal epithelium, anal sex is more likely to damage mucosa and cause infection than vaginal sex. Some infectious diseases are transmitted through the oral - fecal route, so avoiding oral - anal or finger - anal sex can reduce the chance of infection of such diseases.

3、 Avoid sexual intercourse in case of abnormality: When the external genitals of sexual partners are found to have lesions, ulcers or abnormal secretions, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and they should be required to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

4、 Use shielding tools: penis sleeve, vaginal diaphragm and other tools can not only prevent contraception, but also prevent a variety of sexually transmitted diseases. It has been proved by experiments that the penis sheath has a barrier effect on the pathogens causing gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, condyloma acuminatum, AIDS, cytomegalovirus inclusion body disease, chlamydia infection and other sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, the penis sleeve and vaginal diaphragm can also reduce friction damage during sexual intercourse and protect the external genitalia from contact with hidden infectious secretions. Using spermicide: as a chemical barrier, spermicide can inhibit a variety of sexually transmitted disease pathogens like killing sperm. In vitro tests have proved that various commercially available spermicides can inactivate almost all venereal pathogens, including gonococcus, chlamydia, herpesvirus, treponema pallidum, trichomonas vaginalis, AIDS virus, etc. The spermicide mainly has good protective effect on women and is convenient to use.

5、 The combination of barrier tool and spermicide: use the penis sleeve and uterine cap with spermicide as lubricant, and have mechanical and chemical killing effects. A contraceptive sponge made of spermicide and sponge is very popular abroad. It can be placed in the vagina for more than 30 hours before or during sexual intercourse.

6、 Urination, flushing vulva or lavage after sexual intercourse: It has been confirmed that urination within half an hour after sexual intercourse or flushing genitals within one hour after sexual intercourse can not reduce the risk of gonorrhea. However, if the vagina is irrigated with antiseptic solution every day, it has certain effect on preventing gonorrhea.

What we must know to prevent sexually transmitted diseases: After the introduction of the above points, I hope you can understand the transmission mode of sexually transmitted diseases, and do a good job in the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, and block the transmission path of sexually transmitted diseases, so as to minimize the impact of sexually transmitted diseases on patients.
