What sexually transmitted diseases should women pay attention to?
1. Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea is generally transmitted through sexual activity, and its main manifestation is an increase in vaginal discharge, appearing yellow or green, accompanied by pain during urination, a significant increase in urination frequency, and inability to hold urine. Women should learn to protect themselves and not engage in sexual activity with men with gonorrhea. If there is high-risk sexual behavior, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner, which is conducive to early diagnosis and treatment.
2. Candidal vaginitis
Candidal vaginitis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Candida infection, usually occurring during the sexually active period around the age of 20. In addition to being related to unclean sexual behavior, it may also be related to the use of low-quality toilet paper and tissues, failure to pay attention to local cleaning, and abuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics. In addition, when suffering from diabetes, the blood sugar content is very high, it will also be infected with this kind of vaginitis. Its main manifestation is an increase in vaginal discharge, presenting as a white tofu residue like appearance, accompanied by external genital itching
3. Trichomoniasis vaginitis
Trichomonal vaginitis can be transmitted to the other party through sexual behavior. It is caused by the destruction of the natural acidic environment of the vagina. Its main manifestations are vulva itching, increased leucorrhea, foam in the leucorrhea, and yellow liquid often deposited in underpants.
4. Syphilis
The first stage of syphilis is called chancre, which has a large number of pathogens on the surface of syphilis and a high infection rate after contact. Primary syphilis can disappear automatically without pain or itching, and is often overlooked by women. Women's labia minora and labia minora may experience induration and mild ulceration on the surface, which can disappear within about a month. If first-stage syphilis is not treated, it can develop into second-stage syphilis, causing dark red plaques to appear in the palms of women's hands. If not treated promptly, surrounding peeling may accumulate in multiple organs throughout the body, making treatment difficult and even life-threatening.
5. Condyloma acuminatum
The surface of genital warts is not red and appears gray white. If left untreated, the warts will become larger and more numerous, filling the vaginal opening or blocking the vagina. There may be serrated or cauliflower shaped sagging organisms around the female vaginal opening, without pain or itching.
