Incubation period of STDs
Syphilis: 2 to 3 weeks; gonorrhea: 2 to 10 days; non-gonorrheal urethritis: 1 to 3 weeks; condyloma acuminata: 3 weeks to 8 months, average 3 months; genital herpes: 2 to 20 days, average 6 days; venereal lymphogranuloma: 6 to 21 days, average 7 to 10 days.

① Genital ulcers are a typical symptom of stage I syphilis. The ulcers are usually about one centimeter in diameter and occur mostly in the area of the coronary sulcus of the penis in men and in the labia majora, labia minora or cervix in women. Since there is no obvious pus on the surface of the ulcer and the patient himself does not feel pain, it is often overlooked until the rash of second-stage syphilis appears and then the patient visits the hospital.
The appearance of warts on the vulva may be infected with condyloma acuminata. The actual fact is that you will find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. It happens quietly and gradually grows in size until one day the patient notices, either intentionally or unintentionally, the appearance of small warts on the vulva. The most common places for men are the coronal sulcus, penis and inner foreskin, and for women, the labia majora and labia minora, but they can also occur in other parts of the genitalia, such as the urethra and cervix, where they are not easily detected.
(3) Small blisters on the vulva may be infected with genital herpes. It is characterized by the appearance of a small pile of about 4 to 5 small blisters on the vulva with a burning or stinging sensation locally. These small blisters quickly break down into small vesicles. The general symptoms of genital herpes are very mild, and even if left untreated the vesicles can grow on after about 7 to 10 days, but they are very prone to recurrence, causing great psychological stress to the patient.
④ The presence of purulent discharge from the urethra should be suspected to be infected with gonorrhea.
STDs usually damage the genital organs directly. The most common gonorrhea and non-gonococcal urethritis manifest as inflammation of the genitourinary system, causing painful, burning sensation in the urethra when urinating. There is either a thin or thick purulent discharge from the urethra. When gonorrhea causes inflammation of the female genital system, there is purulent leucorrhea, lumbar pain, and lower abdominal pain. Condyloma acuminatum may produce cauliflower-like swellings of various sizes in the external genital area that bleed easily and have a foul-smelling purulent discharge on the surface. In severe cases, the female genitalia can sometimes be covered with more cauliflower-like swellings, making even urination and defecation difficult and painful for the patient. Genital herpes occurs as small blisters in the external genital area that break down and produce shallow ulcers with a small amount of discharge and very severe pain. Syphilis, soft chancre, and lymphogranuloma venereum also have lesions in the genital area. For example, gonorrhea and syphilis may cause damage to internal organs. Syphilis can affect the heart, liver, kidney, brain and spinal cord, and the symptoms can be very complicated. When you find suspicious symptoms of STD, you should go to the hospital immediately. Some STDs can be completely cured with timely and regular treatment, such as gonorrhea, syphilis, non-gonococcal urethritis, etc.
The most common disease symptoms
Chlamydia - This is a bacterial infection, which is by far the most common sexually transmitted disease, but can be cured by antibiotics if treated early. 75% of female patients and 25% of male patients will not show symptoms.
Symptoms: abnormal feces, painful urination, pain in the lower abdomen or pain during sexual intercourse.
Gonorrhea - This is a bacterially transmitted disease that attacks a person's cervix, urethra, rectum, eyes or throat, and often coexists with chlamydia.
Symptoms: Feeling burning pain or itching when urinating, or perhaps you may have no symptoms at all.
② Human papillomavirus - also known as HPV or genital warts - is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the United States. As the name of this disease indicates, it is a virus that once infected by it, the disease can stay with you for the rest of your life. Warts may be born on the vulva, inside the vagina, on the cervix, in the anus, or may even appear in the throat. Treatments for genital warts include freezing through condensation therapy, treatment with laser therapy, surgical removal or the use of chemotherapy. Despite treatment, genital warts can recur later, and some of these viruses can cause cervical cancer. Therefore, for women who have already had HPV once, a Pap test should be done at least once a year. More Pap tests should be performed for susceptible infections.
Symptoms: Warts may be born on the vulva, inside the vagina, on the cervix, in the anus, or may even appear in the throat.
(iii) Genital herpes - or herpes type 2 - is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact. Symptoms begin as itching or burning and pain in the pubic area, thighs or buttocks. Following this, sores become apparent on the pubic area, buttocks, anus, or other parts of the body. These injuries will heal within a few weeks, but for most people, the disease will recur. Herpes cannot be cured, but the condition can be controlled by taking antiviral medications, and these medications can reduce the frequency of outbreaks of the disease and alleviate the condition. However, having herpes during pregnancy can cause a serious syndrome. Genital herpes is one of the STDs caused by herpes simplex virus types I and II.
Symptoms: It starts with itching or burning and pain in the pubic area, thighs or buttocks. Following this, sores may become apparent on the pubic area, buttocks, anus, or other parts of the body. These injuries will heal within a few weeks, but for most people, the disease will recur. Herpes cannot be cured, though.
④Trichomoniasis - This is an infection caused by a parasite, and its symptoms are vaginal discharge, discomfort during intercourse, painful urination, and a foul vaginal odor. It is possible for a patient, especially a man, to have trichomoniasis and not know it. This is because the disease often has no symptoms. Since the disease is caused by a parasite, it can be treated by taking antibiotic drugs.
Symptoms: discomfort during sexual intercourse, painful urination, and vaginal malodor.
⑤ Syphilis - This is caused by a bacterial infection that attacks a person's heart, eyes, brain, bones, and nervous system. Initial syphilis manifests as painless sores on the pubic area, which usually begin 10 days to 3 months after infection. Syphilis is a chronic sexually transmitted disease caused by the pale spirochete, or syphilis spirochete. It can invade the skin, mucous membranes and many other tissues and organs.
Symptoms: painless ulcers on the pubic area, usually starting 10 days to 3 months after infection
Symptom characteristics of sexually transmitted diseases
Syphilis: It is an STD caused by syphilis spirochete infection. The natural course of the disease is divided into three stages: in the first stage, the body does not feel, the virus invasion site erythema, papules, broken, these symptoms can be "self-healing" after a period of time. In the second stage, the virus multiplies in the blood and appears on the skin and mucous membranes like pityriasis rosea, psoriasis, acne erythema, blood rash, maculopapular rash, etc.. This is when the patient feels it and goes to the clinic. If left untreated at this point, they will enter the third stage, which can be life-threatening if left untreated. Treatment: Penicillin treatment, adequate dose and course of treatment.
Gonorrhea: It is one of the STDs with the highest number of cases in the world. It is caused by gonococcus and is more common in men than in women. When men get gonorrhea, the main symptoms are urethritis, redness, swelling, pus, stinging and burning sensation in the urethra. Difficulty in urination and frequent urination. If left untreated, it will turn into chronic urethritis. In women, gonorrhea is characterized by cervicitis, purulent discharge from the vaginal opening, redness and swelling of the vagina, congestion and tingling sensation, but other symptoms are not obvious.
Treatment: Penicillin treatment with adequate course and dose.
Non-gonococcal urethritis: an STD mainly caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma trachomatis. The symptoms are similar to gonorrhea, but there is no gonococcus on the discharge test and penicillin treatment is ineffective. Generally, antibiotics such as tetracycline and erythromycin that are effective against both chlamydia and mycoplasma are used.
Genital herpes: An STD caused by herpes simplex virus type II. It is extremely contagious. The main symptoms: blisters and ulcers in the genital area with painful sensations, which continue to develop with generalized fever, myalgia and headache. Women with genital herpes have a high risk of developing cervical cancer. If a pregnant woman has the disease, it is highly likely to be transmitted to her newborn, which can result in 60% to 70% of deaths.
Condyloma acuminatum: caused by papilloma virus, cauliflower-like growths appear in the genital area, which can break down, flow and become infected, and develop into the anal area, causing great pain to the patient.
The treatment is cryotherapy; electrocautery; laser treatment; surgical excision. Usually treated with shiyou1 uke eradication.
AIDS symptoms
Many HIV-infected people do not have any conscious symptoms during the incubation period, but some people can develop non-specific acute HIV infection syndrome in the early stage of infection (the beginning of virus replication, 2-4 weeks after infection, between 5 days and 3 months), which manifests like mononucleosis: fever, night sweats, dizziness, weakness, sore throat, discomfort, myalgia, headache, arthralgia, trunk papular rash, diarrhea The symptoms are similar to those of the "flu", such as lymphadenopathy (mainly involving the axillary, occipital and cervical lymph nodes, but also generalized lymph node enlargement, which can persist for months or even years) and, in some cases, diarrhea. These symptoms usually disappear after 1-2 weeks, after which the patient moves into an asymptomatic incubation period.
Common symptoms include the following.
(1) General symptoms persistent fever, weakness, night sweats, swollen superficial lymph nodes throughout the body, weight loss of up to 10% or more within three months and up to 40%, and the patient's wasting is particularly pronounced.
(2) Respiratory symptoms: prolonged cough, chest pain, dyspnea, and blood in sputum in severe cases.
(3) Gastrointestinal symptoms include decreased appetite, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases, blood in the stool. Drugs usually used to treat gastrointestinal infections are not effective against this diarrhea.
(4) Neurological symptoms: dizziness, headache, unresponsiveness, mental retardation, mental abnormalities, seizures, hemiplegia, dementia, etc.
(5) Skin and mucous membrane damage diffuse papules, herpes zoster, inflammation and ulceration of the oral and pharyngeal mucosa.
(6) Tumors can appear as a variety of malignant tumors. Kaposi's sarcoma located on the body surface can be seen as red or purplish macules, papules, and infiltrative masses.
Female venereal disease characteristics
1. Clinical symptoms are not obvious. It is often encountered in STD clinics that after giving a diagnosis of gonorrhea or non-gonococcal urethritis to a male patient, the doctor tells the patient to bring his spouse or sexual partner for examination and treatment. Patients often say that their spouse or partner has no symptoms and does not need to be examined. The patient is not aware that due to the differences in physiological anatomy and reproductive physiology, women who are infected with STDs tend to have asymptomatic infections or mild symptoms, which are not easily detected by the patient and can easily become carriers or sources of infection. For example, when men get gonorrhea, the symptoms are obvious, often appearing painful urination and a large amount of yellow purulent discharge from the urethra. In women, half of the patients do not show any symptoms, but some show increased leucorrhea and yellowish color, but the patient does not necessarily realize that it is abnormal. For example, genital herpes is a painful blister that occurs in the male external genital area and is easily detected by the patient, while in women it can occur in the cervical mucosa, manifesting as cervical erosion and mucopurulent discharge, but there is no rash on the vulva and there can be no obvious clinical symptoms.
2. Diagnosis is more difficult. When women have STDs, clinical symptoms are not obvious or lack of specificity is one of the reasons why it is more difficult to diagnose STDs in women. For example, different STDs in women can be manifested as vaginal discharge or increased leucorrhea, which is clinically difficult to identify as what kind of disease. Secondly, the clinical examination of female STD is also more difficult than that of male, because male external genitalia are easily exposed and can be examined directly. In men, the external genitalia are easily exposed and can be examined directly, whereas in women, internal examination with the help of a dildo is required to observe vaginal and cervical lesions. In the case of vaginal or cervical warts, if the lesions are small or hidden, they are easily missed. In addition, there are differences in the sensitivity and specificity of laboratory tests in both sexes. For example, the sensitivity and specificity of the Gram stain of the smear of secretions for the diagnosis of gonorrhea in men is 95% to 99%. However, in women, the sensitivity of Gram stain examination of smear of secretion is only about 50%, which means that half of the patients will be missed when gonorrhea in women is diagnosed by smear examination. Therefore, the diagnosis of gonorrhea in women requires a bacterial culture of the secretion.
3. There is a high risk of complications. Female STDs occur mainly in sexually active women of childbearing age, are closely related to sexual activity and pregnancy, and can coexist with a variety of diseases. The cervix is a site vulnerable to the pathogens of many sexually transmitted diseases. If the infection of the cervix is not treated in time or improperly, the pathogens can be infected upstream and cause various complications and sequelae, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility and ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, the treatment of female STDs should be timely and regular, and the medication should be adequate.
4. Prone to reproductive complications. If a woman has a sexually transmitted disease during pregnancy, it not only affects the health of the pregnant woman, but also the fetus and newborn. For example, syphilis during pregnancy can be transmitted through the placenta, leading to fetal miscarriage, stillbirth or congenital syphilis in the newborn. Newborns can contract gonorrhea ophthalmia when passing through the birth canal of a mother with gonorrhea. Pregnant women with gonorrhea, Chlamydia trachomatis infection, primary genital herpes and trichomonas infection have a 10% to 35% incidence of low birth weight babies or premature births. Therefore, pregnant women with STDs or women who are planning to have children should be given the necessary counseling and guidance. For example, women with syphilis should be followed up for 2 to 3 years after regular treatment, and only after complete cure should they have children.
Early symptoms of male STD
1, urethral discharge: if the urethra appears purulent discharge, viscous amount of yellow, especially in the morning, it may be acute gonorrhea; if the urethra has a transparent viscous discharge, the amount is small, it may be non-gonococcal urethritis.
2, the urethra will have an itchy feeling: men with this symptom are mostly considered to be non-gonococcal urethritis or early reaction of gonococcal urethritis.
3, the emergence of frequent urination, urinary urgency, painful urination, urethral orifice redness: men with this symptom, if accompanied by painful erection of the penis at night, mostly considered as acute gonorrheal urethritis.
4, vulva superfluous: if in the vulva or perineum, see multiple infiltrative, gray, flat elevated papules or nodules, and moist and easy to erosion, accompanied by odor, more considered flat warts; if in the vulva or perineum, see light red or gray-brown, cauliflower-shaped or cockle-shaped and warts with a tip, easy bleeding, more considered for acromegaly; if in the perineum or vulva, see the rice grain hemispherical papules, the central The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.
If the ulcer is round, hard, cartilage-like, painless and solitary, it is mostly considered as hard chancre (syphilis); if the ulcer is soft, with jagged edges, shallow, painful and with pus, it is mostly considered as soft chancre; if the ulcer evolves from a cluster of blisters, soft and painful, it is mostly considered as genital herpes.
If the skin rash of the whole body appears as a light red rash or dark red papule, without pain or itching, and the palmoplantar area can be seen together, with cuff-like flaking around the rash of the palmoplantar area, it is mostly considered as stage II syphilis rash.
