Answer: People who change sex partners frequently and do not use protective equipment such as condoms during sexual contacts.

Answer:

• Bacterial - gonorrhea, bacterial vaginosis, syphilis.
• Caused by intracellular pathogens - mycoplasmosis, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis.
• Viral - anogenital warts, hiv infection, genital herpes, molluscum contagiosum, cytomegalovirus infection.
• Fungal - candidiasis.
• Parasitic - pubic lice.
• The simplest are trichomoniasis.

Answer:

In sexually transmitted diseases, the main route of transmission is sexual. these are syphilis, gonorrhea, diseases common in the tropics: chancroid, chlamydial lymphogranuloma, inguinal granuloma.

The concept of stis includes about 30 diseases of parasitic, fungal, bacterial and viral nature, as well as aids.

Answer:

Even if there are no symptoms, a doctor's examination and laboratory examinations help to make the correct diagnosis.

Answer:

The main symptoms of stds are the presence of purulent or cloudy discharge from the genital tract, ulcers or erosion in the genitals, itching in them, skin rash, enlarged lymph nodes, frequent painful urination.

Answer:

In many cases, the disease can go away without symptoms or discomfort. Even laboratory tests are not always able to identify the pathogen. If one of the partners is cured of the disease, then the other can infect him again.

Answer:

Information about the diagnosis of syphilis or gonorrhea at the place of study or work is not disseminated. An exception is made when a person works in a child care institution. Then he must be isolated from children until complete recovery. If a minor contracted the infection, the doctor must inform the parents. With syphilis, prophylactic treatment is necessary for family members who live in the same apartment with the sick person.

Answer:

It is advisable to avoid sexual intercourse in such cases. But a condom does not guarantee 100% protection either - it can break or peel off. Then it is necessary to immediately carry out hygiene procedures and treat the skin and mucous membrane with miramistin, cidipol, chlorhexidine. Modern female contraceptives - creams, vaginal pills, suppositories such as Pharmatex - also have an antiseptic effect.

Answer:

Yes, it is possible, after deregistration for this disease. If a woman is not registered and has not undergone treatment, then in order to prevent the onset of a disease in an unborn child, she needs to undergo special preventive treatment.

Answer:

In women, inflammatory processes in the fallopian tubes cause their obstruction. Because of this, the egg does not enter the uterus for fertilization. With inflammation of the endometrium - the lining of the uterus - it is impossible for a fertilized egg to enter the uterus, which leads to a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.

In men, infertility is most often associated with a deterioration in performance and obstruction of the vas deferens that arose after an STI.

Answer:

Yes, it is possible with such a complication as prostatitis - inflammation of the prostate gland. Its chronic course for a long time contributes to a decrease in potency.

Answer:

This disease should be identified and cured in the early stages, because at the later stages, destructive processes begin in the internal organs, musculoskeletal and nervous systems. This leads to damage to hearing and vision.

Answer:

In 70% of cases, patients undergo treatment in a day hospital - immediately after the procedures they go home.

Answer:

Answer: 

Candidiasis is a disease caused by Candida yeast fungi. It is called thrush, because the main symptom is the discharge from the genitals, which has a cheesy consistency.

Answer:

This disease does not always appear due to sexual infection. At risk: pregnant women, diabetics, people with reduced immunity after antibiotic treatment. As with any STD, both partners need to be examined and treated at the same time.

Answer:

Unfortunately, no. But thanks to special antiviral drugs and drugs that increase the body's immunological activity, it is possible to alleviate the symptoms and shorten the period of exacerbation.

Answer:

It is advisable to do this after changing the sexual partner.

Answer:

The methods are the same - use disposable injection syringes and for all types of sexual intercourse - condoms. But with syphilis, rashes are found on those parts of the body that the condom does not cover - on the mucous membrane of the mouth, in the anus, on the red border of the lips, on the skin around the genitals.

Answer:

Yes, in this case, infection with all types of STIs is possible, Trichomonas vaginal, for example, live in saliva for 48 hours. This is why condoms should also be used for oral sex.

Answer:

In some cases, yes. A quick cure is most likely with a fresh infection that arose no more than 2 months ago. Cure for chronic infection (more than 2 months) is problematic. With sluggish gonorrhea - such treatment is not enough, because it is usually combined with other types of infections: chlamydial, mycoplasma, Trichomonas, ureaplasma.

Answer: 

Since chlamydia is a parasitic intracellular microorganism, it is not sensitive to most antibiotics. Because of this, the patient and his partner will have to take not one, but several courses.

Answer:

No, because treatment does not prevent transmission of pathogens. Sex is allowed only after undergoing therapy and passing all laboratory examinations with a positive result, which excludes the presence of an infectious agent in the body.

Answer:

Different methods have different sensitivity and, accordingly, the detection rate of STDs. The detection rate of STDs often depends on the phase of activity in which the infection is located. An infection in the active phase (exacerbation) has (sometimes at times) a high probability of being detected. For example, HPV is more often detected in women than in men (it is comparable only when genital warts are taken for analysis in men). Trichomoniasis by seeding method - in pouch (USA) by sperm culture is more often detected than in smears and prostate secretion of men or female smears. Detectability also increases after provocation (due to decreased immunity and increased infection).

Answer:

It all depends on the age of the STD, its sensitivity to drugs, the availability of foci of infection to drugs, and control methods. Therefore, it is more often possible to obtain a clinical cure (remission) than a microbiological or virological cure.

Answer:

It is possible during childbirth as a girl (7-15-20% - according to various sources). When using toilets and public reservoirs, violation of personal hygiene.

Answer: 

After changing a sexual partner, before a planned pregnancy, after a combined effect of provoking factors that reduce immunity (hypothermia or overheating, drinking alcohol, spicy or salty foods, sometimes even sex with a regular partner without using condoms).

Answer:

Is yes, they can. But not immediately, but over time. Trichomoniasis causes erosion of the cervix. With the addition of HPV infection of a high carcinogenic risk, erosion can turn into cervical dysplasia, which, with a long course, sometimes turns into cervical cancer. In men, long-term Trichomonas chronic prostatitis with frequent exacerbations can cause the development of prostatic hyperplasia (more often) and prostate cancer (less often).
