What are the signs of sexually acquired diseases in women?

There are many types of sexually transmitted diseases, and most of them are contagious. Generally, after contracting a sexually transmitted disease, the body will show some signs to a greater or lesser extent. We can usually judge whether we have a sexually transmitted disease based on these signs. Sexually transmitted diseases can cause great pressure on the patient's physical and mental health. Understanding the signs of sexually transmitted diseases can help us get treatment as early as possible when the disease occurs, so that we can detect and treat it early.

Premonitory symptoms of acquired diseases

There are many kinds of sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis, gonorrhea, genital warts, genital herpes, genital Chlamydia trachomatis infection and AIDS. If a woman is a high-risk sexual practitioner and erosive ulcers are found in the external genitalia, it is highly suspected that she has syphilis or genital herpes. Patients with genital warts have cauliflower-like, nipple-like growths on the external genitalia or perianal area, which are painless and itchy. If the patient has increased vaginal purulent discharge and urethral irritation symptoms, vaginal discharge can be taken for gonococcal culture and chlamydia testing.

The dangers of STDs in women

1. Cause psychological harm. After a woman contracts a sexually transmitted disease, the inner pain she feels far exceeds the pain caused by the disease itself, and this feeling will last for a long time, seriously affecting her recovery from the disease and her physical and mental health.

2. Increase the chance of developing other diseases. If sexually transmitted diseases are not cured in time, they can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, salpingitis, cervicitis, etc. It may also affect fertility, causing infertility, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth, etc. Some people are more likely to develop certain tumors or cancers, such as cervical cancer, lymphoma, and malignant transformation of genital warts.

3. Harming future generations. Sexually transmitted diseases can cause fetal growth retardation, brain malformation, deformity, and mental retardation. They are also susceptible to congenital syphilis, neonatal gonococcal conjunctivitis and other diseases. How are sexually transmitted diseases transmitted? Sexually transmitted diseases are mainly transmitted through sexual contact. If a healthy person has sexual intercourse with a person with a sexually transmitted disease or has close or frequent contact with the genitals, anus, mouth, etc., they will be infected with the disease. Even if there is no sexual contact, close contact with people with sexually transmitted diseases and the use of infected items that have not been strictly disinfected, such as bath towels, underwear, surgical instruments, injection needles, etc., can lead to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
