Common sexually transmitted diseases in women

There are several varieties of female sexually transmitted diseases. With the development of science, knowledge in this field of medicine is also expanding. If before doctors knew only two diseases of this category (gonorrhea, syphilis), today this list has expanded: ureaplasmosis and chlamydia, herpes (genital), trichomoniasis and even AIDS.

Do not think that these diseases can bypass you. These kinds of infections can for several months, and even years, live in a female body without disturbing. If you have an accidental sexual intercourse, then in order to avoid infection you have seventy-two hours to contact the doctors. If the time has passed less than two hours, it is enough to rinse the genital area with any disinfectant solution that can kill germs.

Venereal diseases in women are, often, infectious etiology, transmitted by sexual intimacy. The symptoms are quite different: from the types of infections in the genito-urinary organs to the systems of the human body as a whole. Still, there are several signs that there are sexually transmitted diseases in women.

Unpleasant sensations (for example, burning) during urination, itching in the genital area and discharge with an unpleasant, specific odor - indicate trichomoniasis and gonorrhea.

The appearance of erosion and small vesicles in the genital and buttocks - indicates the presence of herpes (genital).

Candidiasis (fungal disease) depends directly on the location of the disease. If the infection affects the mucous membranes of the genitals or mouth, then the main symptoms are whitish-colored film dot-like plaques that arise after the redness of the shell or its dryness. If there are changes in the skin (redness, blisters, deformation of the nail rollers and plates) - this indicates the candidiasis of nails and skin.

Discomfort in the genital area (burning, itching) and the appearance of genital warts and warts on the affected areas - the symptoms of papillomavirus.

The appearance of a solid chancre on the genitals (and in the case of domestic etiology - in other places), a significant increase in lymph nodes, changes in the composition of the blood, skin rashes and damage to the nervous system indicate a secondary stage of syphilis. The chronic form of syphilis entails the destruction of the cartilaginous and bony tissues, the appearance of ulcers on the skin.

There are sexually transmitted diseases in women, which manifest themselves as an acute respiratory disease, in rare cases, with an increase in the liver, spleen and lymph nodes. One such disease is cytomegalovirus.

The greatest number of symptoms is with HIV, which causes AIDS. It can proceed as a prolonged diarrhea (cryptosporidiosis), pneumonia (pneumocystic), in the form of helminthiosis or toxoplasmosis, viral diseases and bacterial and fungal lesions. The patient has a fever (prolonged), a lesion of the skin (pustules), an increase in lymph nodes, skin rashes and lesions of the mucosa. A person loses weight, sometimes up to ten kilograms, or even more. Kaposi's sarcoma (among tumors) is the most common sign of AIDS.
