STDÂ Treatment
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are the kind of infections that can be transferred to a person from another one during copulation that can be vaginal, anal, or oral. There are quite a number of people who seldom show any of the symptoms. STDs can be dangerous if left untreated, they could lead to lifethreatening health problems such as cancer, organ damage, infertility and blindness. The good news is most of the STDs are easily treatable. All you have to do is go out and get STD testing at your nearest clinic.
What do sexually transmitted diseases (STD) have to do with dermatology? Many sexually transmitted diseases exhibit symptoms that affect your skin, so it’s not surprising that many men and women first learn they have an STD when they visit their dermatologists to find answers about changes in their skin. Herpes Simplex Virus This disease leads to painful sores on your mouth or genitals. Herpes is caused by a virus, and while there is no cure, there are ways to manage the disease and reduce the risk of passing it along to a partner.
Genital warts These skin growths are caused by several strains of human papillomavirus. Most cases aren’t painful, but genital warts can be unsightly. Chlamydia This disease is very common, and it can spread to your eyes if you touch an infected area and then rub your eyes or the surrounding skin. Syphilis This infection starts with a small, painless sore at the spot where the infection entered your body, usually on your genitals or rectum. Left untreated, a rash can spread all over your body, and if still untreated, it can cause damage to your internal organs later, with potentially life-threatening consequences.
How Can I Prevent Sexually Transmitted Diseases? The only way to completely avoid STDs is to refrain from all sexual activity. The next best level of protection is to remain in a mutually monogamous relationship in which both partners have been tested for STDs. Using male or female condoms can reduce your risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, but it’s important to know that some infections are spread through simple skin-to-skin contact, which includes skin that cannot be covered with a condom. In the case of HPV, vaccines are available that can bring your risk level down to nearly zero. In fact, pediatricians are vaccinating large numbers of boys and girls before their first sexual contact to reduce the spread of HPV in younger generations.
