What causes female sexual diseases? Avoiding these misconceptions in treating sexually transmitted diseases

Sexually transmitted diseases are a terrifying infectious disease, and their harm to women is even more terrifying. Therefore, female friends must take care of themselves. So, what are female sexually transmitted diseases?

What are the common female sexually transmitted diseases?

1. Chlamydia infection: Chlamydia infection is the most common reported and sexually transmitted disease, but there are still many cases that have not been diagnosed. The high incidence age of this disease is 15-24 years old. Untreated result: Chlamydia enters the uterus and fallopian tubes along the vagina, causing pelvic inflammatory disease, which is difficult to cure. Pelvic inflammation can cause pathological damage to the uterus and fallopian tubes, leading to chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Due to tubal inflammation, it can also cause fatal ectopic pregnancy. During vaginal delivery, the mother will pass it on to the child. Up to 40% of people eventually develop pelvic inflammatory disease, and 20% develop infertility.

2. Gonorrhea: Gonorrhea is the second common sexually transmitted disease, but similar to chlamydia infection, most cases cannot be diagnosed. Untreated results: Gonorrhea causes chronic discitis, ectopic pregnancy, and infertility. Pathogens can cause joint and heart diseases after being transmitted in the bloodstream. Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection also increases the probability of suffering from AIDS.

3. AIDS: According to the report of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, women accounted for 15% of the new AIDS cases from 1999 to 2003. Untreated result: unable to treat.

4. Human papillomavirus and genital warts: About half of the population in the United States is infected with the human papillomavirus throughout their lifetime. There are over 100 subtypes of the virus, of which only 30 are transmitted through sexual contact, and infection with several subtypes is a risk factor for cervical cancer.

Misunderstandings in the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases:

Myth 1: Only treating oneself, not sexual partners

Some sexually transmitted disease patients, after being cured and no longer having an affair, relapse multiple times because they have cured themselves without being treated by their spouse, resulting in multiple cases of the same disease through sexual intercourse between spouses. Therefore, once the patient learns that they have a sexually transmitted disease, for the safety of themselves and their family, they should openly inform their spouse and go to the hospital for examination and treatment at the same time.

Myth 2: biased belief in tourism and medical advertisements

Voluntary visits have killed many patients, with a bias towards tourism and medical advertisements. Voluntary visits have been killed, resulting in not only loss of money but also loss of illness. Therefore, when unfortunately suffering from sexually transmitted diseases, it is necessary to undergo examination and treatment in a regular sexually transmitted disease hospital. Sexually transmitted diseases are not as terrifying as people think, and they are not incurable. Understanding sexually transmitted diseases correctly and treating them with the right attitude will reduce the fear of sexually transmitted diseases. Attention must be paid to the above misunderstandings about sexually transmitted diseases. Even if you have a sexually transmitted disease, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately. Otherwise, treating only one side is useless.
