About STDs, you must know these
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a group of infectious diseases in which sexual intercourse is the main means of transmission. In China, STDs mainly refer to syphilis, gonorrhea, AIDS, genital tract Chlamydia trachomatis infection, condyloma acuminatum, genital herpes, etc. Knowingly infecting others with STDs is an illegal act.
STDs pose a serious threat to patients' physical and mental health, family happiness, as well as social stability and economic development, and have become one of the world's major public health problems. Most STDs are preventable and treatable. In addition to AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea, genital chlamydia, etc. Can be completely cured, warts, genital herpes can be clinically cured.
Sexually transmitted diseases are mainly transmitted through sexual contact, but also through mother-to-child and blood transmission, such as syphilis can infect the fetus through the placenta and infect others through blood. Daily life and work contact, such as shaking hands, hugging, and eating together with STD patients will not be infected with STDs, but ina few cases STDs may be transmitted through contaminated household utensils. STDs can promote the spread of AIDS. Human infection with STD can cause breakage and inflammation of skin and mucous membrane, which can easily be infected by HIV and transmit the virus to others. Prevention and treatment of STDs is an important measure to prevent and control AIDS.
If there are suspicious symptoms of STD such as urethral discharge, abnormal leucorrhea, rash, genital rupture, blisters, etc., you should go to regular hospital for examination and treatment in time. Early detection and standardized treatment can improve the efficacy of treatment, reduce the occurrence of complications and sequelae, and reduce the risk of infection and transmission of AIDS. Infection with STDs can have no conscious symptoms, especially in women. Those who have unsafe sex such as multiple sexual partners and frequent changing of sexual partners should go to hospital for regular check-ups. However, not all lesions occurring in the genital area are STDs, and should be diagnosed carefully by combining medical history, sexual contact history, physical examination and laboratory results.
The standard treatment and regular review is very necessary, self-medication stop, increase or decrease drugs or find the "doctor" treatment will cause adverse consequences. The patient with STD should tell his partner to go to the hospital for examination and timely treatment of the infection to avoid complications and sequelae caused by delayed treatment and repeated infection between partners. During the period of STD treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided.
The human body has no lifelong immunity to STDs and can be re-infected even if you have had an STD. Therefore, it is still necessary to maintain a healthy sexual life and avoid risky sexual behavior after the STD is cured. Cleanliness and avoidance of sexually promiscuous behavior are effective measures to prevent STDs. Proper use of quality condoms can prevent STDs. Practices such as vaginal irrigation, in vitro ejaculation, and topical application of drugs cannot prevent STDs.
Pregnant women and premarital medical examiners should be screened for syphilis. Once syphilis infection is detected, treatment should be standardized in a timely manner to prevent transmission between sexual partners and the occurrence of fetal syphilis. Patients with STDs should receive standardized treatment and medical counseling when considering marriage and childbirth. Patients with STDs are at risk of HIV infection and should actively seek HIV counseling and testing.
