When a person has a venereal disease, a person can not always feel any changes in his body and overall health or symptoms that can make a person go to a doctor. The disease can occur without visible changes or the appearance of any symptoms, that is, the so-called latent form of the disease, or the symptoms may disappear after a certain time after infection. But this will not be a good sign, since the latent manifestation of the symptomatology, that is, the so-called clinical manifestation of the disease is not monitored by the doctor and can move into a more complicated or even latent or chronic form that is more difficult to diagnose.
Female sexually transmitted diseases are mainly transmitted through unprotected sex (oral, vaginal, anal). But not all diseases are transmitted through direct sexual contact. Among the group of sexually transmitted diseases, it can be noted such infections as HIV, hepatitis that are transmitted by the hematogenous way, that is, through contact with infected blood or its transfusion. Most are transmitted by the placental method, that is, from mother to fetus: through the placenta during pregnancy or during labor.
Symptoms of which require urgent medical examination:
- allocation from the rectum, urethra, vagina;
- itching in the genital area and skin;
- ulcers or erosion on the genitals and skin;
- wart formations on the genital organs and skin near them;
- not pleasant sensations, burning, pain when urinating;
- a feeling of discomfort in the lower abdomen or crotch;
- painful sensations during or after intercourse.
In women, sexually transmitted infections are more likely to cause serious complications in menstrual and reproductive functions. In some cases, forms of diseases can occur with the defeat of various systems of organs of the human body.
STDs cause inflammatory processes of internal genital organs in women such as urethritis, pseudo - erosion of the cervix, inflammation of the fallopian tubes (salpingitis), the consequences of which are infertility, no pregnancy, ectopic tubal pregnancies, pathological course of pregnancy and infections in newborns.
List of sexually transmitted diseases
There are 2 types of venereal diseases : classical and new. Classical include: syphilis, gonorrhea, venereal granuloma, mild chancroid and venereal lymphogranulomatosis, found primarily in countries located in the subtropical and tropical belt.
In view of the appearance of new and more effective drugs in the pharmacological sphere, the number of deaths from venereal diseases has significantly decreased. The current methods of laboratory and diagnostic studies make it possible to identify pathogenic microorganisms before they are likely to cause complications, as well as to identify infections that were not previously known or are in a mutation state.
New venereal diseases include:
- Trichomoniasis
- Chlamydia
- Candidiasis
- Cytomegalovirus
- Genital herpes, etc.
Pregnancy and Sexual Infections
If the initial stages of infection are seen during pregnancy or if it is diagnosed, treatment is urgently started. When appointing a doctor, the doctor must take into account the possible consequences of the disease and the consequences of taking medications that may or may not harm the fetus and the mother. The fact is that any infection, in particular, about the kind in question in this article can be of decisive importance in the formation of, for example, internal organs, the appearance of some kind of visual defects or defects in the organs, and the appearance in the newborn of diseases that later on , most likely, will develop in a chronic form. Therefore, some visible changes in the genital area and perineum and those complaints listed above should be reported immediately to the doctor.
The greatest fear in determining a pregnant infection is syphilis, which is able to overcome the placental barrier, hitting the fetus. Sometimes the consequences of the transmitted infection can be so serious that in some cases even interrupt pregnancy. For example, with diseases that are more likely to overcome the placental barrier - hepatitis, syphilis, cytomegalovirus.
Recently, the number of people infected with venereal diseases has not increased dramatically, but is increasing. Some of the reasons for this increase are promiscuous sexual relations, low ethical and sexual culture of people. I also wanted to note that, in addition to the fall of culture, it also means that people are afraid to ask doctors for help with their own suspicions of a venereal disease or just feel embarrassed to tell all the doctors. And from here and self-treatment, which lead to colossal consequences.
Remember, there are no magic drugs and folk methods that can cure everything and everyone. Without proper care and consultation, and in the future, if infection occurs, and treatment of female sexually transmitted diseases will be difficult. This behavior will lead to complications for the woman, and if she is pregnant, then for the fetus .
