Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are serious health conditions that are spread mainly by sexual contact. These infections are highly contagious and can be transmitted from one sexually active individual to another without knowledge. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) can also spread through ways other than sexual contact. For instance, they can be passed on to infants during pregnancy or childbirth. STIs can also be spread through blood transfusions or sharing needles. 

There are many types of STDs, including chlamydia, pubic lice (crabs), syphilis, gonorrhoea, genital herpes, trichomoniasis, genital warts, hepatitis B, HIV/AIDS, and human papillomavirus (HPV). 

If you are experiencing STI symptoms or have concerns about an STD, book an appointment with Dr. Kamaraj Hospital for prompt and effective treatment.

Causes & Symptoms of Sexually Transmitted Diseases

STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) can be caused by:

  • Viruses: Viruses such as herpes simplex virus, human papillomavirus (HPV), and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can cause STDs.
  • Parasites: Parasite infections, such as trichomoniasis, can lead to STDs.
  • Bacteria: Bacterial infections can cause diseases like syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhoea.

STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections) can have the following symptoms:

  • Bumps, warts, or sores on or near the mouth, penis, vagina or anus
  • Severe itching or swelling near the penis or vagina
  • Vaginal discharge that causes irritation or has a different colour or bad odour
  • Discharge from penis
  • Frequent and painful urination
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Symptoms such as skin rash, fever, diarrhoea, weight loss, and night sweats might also be STD symptoms.

Diagnosis and Treatment Options for Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Medical professionals diagnose STDs by inquiring about the individual’s sexual history and assessing symptoms. If preliminary analysis indicates an STI, they might perform a pelvic exam to check for rashes, discharge, and warts. After this, the healthcare expert may order some tests such as blood tests, fluid and urine samples.

If the tests confirm an STI, the medical professional will create an STI treatment plan, which may include the following:

  • Antibiotics: A single dose of antibiotics can cure many bacteria and parasite-based STIs, such as gonorrhoea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis.
  • Antiviral Drugs: For individuals suffering from herpes or HIV, the STD treatment plan may include antiviral drugs that help prevent the viral infection from worsening.

Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Here are some key tips for preventing STDs:

  • Use Condoms: Always use condoms during sexual activity to reduce the risk of transmission.
  • Choose Sexual Partners Carefully: Choose your sexual partners carefully and consider their sexual health history.
  • Communicate with Your Partner: Maintain open communication with your partner about sexual health and protection.
  • Avoid Sharing Personal Items: Avoid sharing towels, clothes, toothbrushes, or razors that may transmit infections.
  • Get tested for STDs: Get regular STD screenings, even if you don’t have any symptoms, to prevent the spread to other people.
  • Get Vaccinated: Get vaccines available for STDs like HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B.
