Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) guide
Sexually transmitted diseases are escalating nowadays when more
people have started entering into multiple sexual relationships.

remains that such people are more prone to sexual diseases.
However, if unfortunately one gets infected by any such disease,
it is better to start ailment as soon as possible for these
diseases have the potential to ruin your entire life. People
often are embarrassed and scared to disclose their problem to
others even to their friends but they fail to realize that
delaying diagnose is compromising with their life. Thus, as soon
as you fear a sexually transmitted infection, approach a doctor.
This article informs the readers about certain primary STDs and
their symptoms.
1. AIDS and HIV
* Transmitted through- AIDS and HIV are two more or les related
diseases. The HIV stands for the 'human immunodeficiency virus'
and the disease that spreads through it is known as AIDS i.e.
'acquired immune deficiency syndrome'. HIV travels through
blood. It can be transmitted from one HIV positive person to his
partner through sex. It can also pass on from the HIV positive
mother to her child through infected breast milk and even from
an infected syringe or other equipments that come into contact
with the blood of the HIV positive to any other individual who
is treated with the same devices.
* Symptoms- weak immune system and susceptible to more
infections than usual. HIV gets translated to AIDS when the HIV
patient acquires a particular indicative illness.
* Preventive Measures- not much available yet. But avoid taking
drugs. Maintain hygiene.
2. Chlamydia-
* Infected via- the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis is the cause
of this infection. Once this bacterium enters the individual's
body it affects his mucous membranes, eyelids and even
reproductive tissues.
* Symptoms- the symptoms Chlamydia often confused with another
similar STD called Gonorrhea and even with Conjunctivitis due to
eyelid infection. The common symptoms to this disease are pain
during sex, burning and abnormal discharge. Chlamydia can be
without any typical indications also.
* Prevention- the disease is curable. As a precautionary
measure one should maintain hygiene
during sex and get medical
check up done in order to avoid infection.
3. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease- usually women are afflicted by
this disease. It is a an infection in the upper genital tract
and reproductive organs including ovaries, uterus and fallopian
tubes.
* Spreads through- Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are the two STDs that
are most often responsible for this disease. Women between 15 to
25 years of age are more prone to be infected by it. Excess
douching can also lead to PID for it cleanses the naturally
beneficial bacteria from the women's vagina.
* Symptoms- When ailing PID, women might experience pain during
intercourse, burning and even fever.
* Precautions and Cures- antibiotics are useful to cure PID.
But it is recommended to get frequent check ups done and in case
the disease is discovered medicines and proper treatment should
commence the very moment for PID can be unexpectedly harmful in
later stages.
4. Gonorrhea- infects the individual's sensitive tissues of
reproductive system.
* An individual can acquire this disease through all types of
sexual contacts like oral sex.
* Indications- the indicators to Gonorrhea are very few which
makes it all the more difficult to adjudicate it and so stop it
from being transmitted from one to the other person through sex.
Symptoms are akin to Chlamydia so the two diseases are liable to
be confused with each other. A person suffering from Gonorrhea
experiences unusual discharge, burning, pain during sexual
activity, swelling, fever and other infections like women may
have bleeding between periods.
* Remedies and Safety- treatment should commence in initial
stages to cure Gonorrhea. Those who are pretty active in their
sexual life should get check ups done on a regular basis to be
on a safer side.
Apart from these there are several other STDs not discussed here
like Hepatitis, Scabies, Herpes, Syphilis, HPV etc. which are
most common in ones. It is better to acquire information about
them once you are sexually active and consult a gynecologist
every now and then to avert from all kinds of STDs.
