Sexually transmitted diseases are a general term for diseases transmitted through sexual contact. However, these diseases do not necessarily occur following sexual intercourse. Cases of contagion have also been recorded in places frequented by many people, such as public bathrooms, public bathing establishments and swimming pools. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as many as 30 types of bacteria, viruses and parasites cause sexually transmitted diseases. If you are negligent in maintaining hygiene, you can get infected at any time, and you need to be especially careful if your immune system is weakened. Due to the nature of women’s body structure, even if they develop an STD, the symptoms are not immediately apparent, and even if they have symptoms, they often ignore them because they don’t know that it is caused by an STD. However, if some STDs progress, they can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, infertility and infertility, so if you experience suspicious symptoms, you should visit a hospital immediately. Symptoms of STDs can vary depending on the type and progress of the STD. In the case of chlamydia, a very common sexually transmitted disease, most cases are asymptomatic, but sometimes pain occurs during urination or sexual intercourse and symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, irregular bleeding and strange vaginal discharge appear. Symptoms such as itching around the vagina and fever may also occur. Gonorrhea causes changes in vaginal secretions and causes vaginal bleeding, pain, and pelvic pain.

When you contract syphilis, hard, round sores initially form around your genitals, and then you develop a rash, headache, fatigue, and muscle aches. Subsequently the symptoms disappear temporarily, but this does not mean that the syphilis is cured, it is simply that it has entered the incubation period, so you should not lower your guard; If left untreated, it can cause complications in various areas such as the nervous system, cardiovascular system, skin and joints, leading to death.

Additionally, there are a wide variety of sexually transmitted diseases, and if the shape, color, or odor of your vaginal discharge changes, you experience irregular bleeding, or you experience pain in your pelvis or lower abdomen, you should visit an obstetrician and gynecologist for a control. test. Through a sexually transmitted disease (STD) test for women, you can determine the type of virus you are infected with. STDs can detect 4 to 12 types of viruses, and the most efficient is the 12 types of STDs, which can detect most viruses.

Director of the Sadang Rubin women’s clinic Jo Bo-ra (specialist in obstetrics and gynecology) said: “If you feel the symptoms of a sexually transmitted disease, it is better to visit the hospital not only with yourself but also with your partner sexual to get tested and receive treatment Even if you receive treatment, if the cause of the infection remains in the other person, you are advised to visit the hospital again “This is because you may be exposed to sexually transmitted diseases,” he said.

He continued: “If you want to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, you should always practice good hygiene. It is also wise to use a condom during sexual intercourse and avoid direct contact. You can reduce the chance of infection by getting vaccinated against HPV beforehand ., which causes cervical cancer and genital warts, it is therefore a good idea to consider vaccination,” he added.
