Venereal diseases, or as they are now called, sexually transmitted diseases - are infectious diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses and other pathogens for which the general way is their transmission from person to person. They are transmitted sexually and not necessarily only genital. It can also be oral or anal sex. Individual sexual infections can also be transmitted in other ways.
Symptoms and signs of sexually transmitted diseases
The most common external signs of sexually transmitted diseases are:
- redness;
- jazvochki, pryshchiki, warts on the genitals, on the adjacent parts of the skin, in the region of the anus;
- burning in the external genitalia;
- the allocation of an unusual character, sometimes with an unpleasant odor;
- frequent urination accompanied by discomfort and painful sensations;
- pain during intercourse, in the lower abdomen;
- violation of the cycle in women.
Despite the fact that the symptoms of various sexual infections are similar, each of them is characterized by its own set of characteristics and has its differences.
It should be noted that it is impossible to diagnose, based only on the external symptoms of a venereal disease . After all, for example, in women the signs of sexual infections are usually weakly expressed, or the disease is asymptomatic.
How to detect signs of sexually transmitted diseases?
Sexual infection in women, as in men, can occur in acute and chronic forms. The acute form develops when there is little time left between infection and the onset of the disease. It is characterized by a clear manifestation of symptoms and signs.
In the event that the acute form of the disease remains untreated, the disease will pass into a chronic form. The signs of the disease will decrease or disappear. And there will be an impression that the disease has receded. But this is not so.
To detect a sexual infection at this stage of the disease can only be done by testing .
Therefore, when the first signs of sexually transmitted diseases appear, or if there is a suspicion of getting infected with them, you should always consult a doctor to diagnose and treat the disease in a timely manner.
