Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Sexually
transmitted diseases, or more commonly known as venereal diseases, are among
the most common diseases that are taken from someone else through sexual
intercourse. These diseases can be mild, painful, uncomfortable, even
life-threatening. They cause infections.

How Do Venereal Diseases Spread?

Most venous diseases are passed on by the contact of body
fluids during sexual intercourse. Sexual contact can be vaginal, oral or
anal. On the other hand, there are also venous diseases transmitted by contact
with infected blood. For example, one venous disease can be transmitted
between people sharing the same infected syringe, while another venous disease
can be passed from the sick mother to the baby during pregnancy or delivery. Venereal
diseases are not transmitted by routine contact (eg handshaking) or through
clothing or toilet bowls.

What are the Symptoms of Venereal Diseases?

Often there are no symptoms. Symptoms that indicate
venous disease, if any, are:

An
unusual discharge or foul odor from the vagina

Pain
in the lower abdomen

Pain
in the groin

Burning
or itching in the genitals

Vaginal
bleeding outside of normal meshing period

Pain
at the bottom of the vagina during sexual intercourse

Discharge
from the penis or staining on laundry

Swelling,
redness or sores in the genitals, anus, or mouth

Burning
and pain when urinating or defecation essence

Frequent
urination

Who is at Risk?

Venereal diseases can affect sexually active people in all
economic groups. However, studies show that these diseases are more common
in young people and people with a large number of sexual partners. The
diagnosis of all venous diseases can be made by the examination by the doctor,
as well as the culture and blood test of the discharge from the vagina or
penis.

Most Common Venereal Diseases

Chlamydia

 This
disease is the most common among the most venous diseases and can be
transmitted by vaginal, oral or anal intercourse. Sometimes it goes
undetected, as there is often no noticeable symptom. In men, if there is a
symptom, this type is in the form of burning while urinating and discharge from
the penis. Symptoms in women include bleeding outside the menses period,
painful urination, vaginal discharge and mild pain in the lower ache. When the
person is diagnosed, the person is treated with antibiotics.

Gonorrhea (Gonorrhea)

 It can be passed through
vaginal, oral or anal intercourse. Unlike chlamydia, it often has no
symptoms. On the other hand, the possible symptoms are vaginal or penis
discharge and painful urination. Gonorrhea can be treated with
antibiotics.

Syphilis (Syphilis)

It is a bacterial
infection that can be transmitted by vaginal, oral or anal intercourse and
potentially life threatening. On the other hand, syphilis wounds are an
open skin scrape etc. If it comes into contact with it, it can be
transmitted without sexual intercourse. If left untreated, syphilis can
progress to advanced stages, resulting in conditions such as paralysis or
meningitis.

Genital Herpes  

Herpes
simplex type 2 (HSV-2) is an infection caused by the virus and is transmitted
by skin contact in infected areas during vaginal, oral or anal intercourse. Herpes
simplex type 1, another type of the virus, is most commonly spread by
non-sexual contact and causes herpes on the lips, but this can also be
transmitted by oral sex. Although some drugs can be used against the
virus, there is no definitive treatment.

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) 

AIDS
is a fatal venereal disease that is caused by the transmission of the immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) and has no definitive treatment. Most commonly transmitted by
vaginal and anal sex, the disease attacks the body’s immune system. At the
same time, common infected syringes can be transmitted through blood with
injuries to the skin with sharp objects, or from infected mother to child
through pregnancy and childbirth. These symptoms usually disappear after 1
to 4 weeks and the virus can remain inactive for years. There is no known
definitive treatment, antivirus drugs can be used to prolong the patient’s
life.

Hepatitis B

 This
venereal disease caused by the HBV virus attacks the liver. It can be
passed through vaginal, oral or anal intercourse. It can also be passed
through blood as a result of infected syringes and skin injury. One third
of patients with the hepatitis B virus do not experience any symptoms. However,
when there are symptoms, these include fever, headache, muscle aches, fatigue,
loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea. Hepatitis B attacks liver cells and
can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, liver failure, or even death. with eye
whites and yellowing of the skin. Although there are some drugs that can
treat chronic infection, there is no cure for Hepatitis B. The best method for
prevention is vaccination. 

Genital warts

 These
types of warts are caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) and are passed through
vaginal, oral or anal intercourse. As a result, painless, soft, spring-like
warts appear around the penis, vaginal entrance or anus. Warts can be partially
treated with medications applied to the skin, or they can be eliminated by
freezing, electrical burning or minor surgical interventions.

Trichomonas’s

It
is a venereal disease that usually affects young, sexually active women and is
transmitted by sexual intercourse. Sometimes there are no symptoms. However,
when there is a foul-smelling and foamy yellow-green vaginal discharge, vaginal
itching and redness, pain during sexual intercourse, lower abdominal pain and
frequent urination or burning when urinating. In men, symptoms include penile
discharge, frequent and / or painful urination. It can be easily treated
with antibiotics.
