Men are the first to come to mind when talking about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). However, in recent years, the number of female STD patients is rising faster, and because of the special nature of the female reproductive system, many STDs that have obvious symptoms in men often have no special manifestations in female patients. If female STDs are not treated in time, they can be infected upstream leading to pelvic inflammatory disease, causing difficulty in intercourse and pain in the lower abdomen and back; they can spread to the fallopian tubes leading to tubal inflammation, resulting in infertility and ectopic pregnancy; some viruses such as HPV and HSV are associated with the development of cervical cancer, vulvar cancer, anal cancer and other tumors of the reproductive system. STD infection in pregnant women may also lead to miscarriage, fetal death in utero, premature birth or infection of the newborn during delivery. The following six conditions are quite characteristic, once you find these signs, you can highly suspect that women have contracted STDs, women and sexual partners can learn to timely treatment and self-protection. Signs 1, increased leucorrhea, yellow or green pus, sometimes accompanied by urinary tract irritation symptoms such as urinary urgency, urinary frequency, urinary pain. Tip: Gonorrhea It is worth reminding that because the female genital tract is separate from the urethra, women can be asymptomatic or have mild symptoms after contracting gonorrhea, and treatment is often easily delayed. Men with gonorrhea, however, tend to have obvious symptoms, and it is easier to pass gonorrhea from men to women than from women to men. If you have had sexual contact with a man who has had gonorrhea without a condom, the likelihood of a woman being infected is about 90 percent. Therefore, women should learn to protect themselves. If risky sexual behavior has already occurred, even if the woman has no symptoms, she should go to the hospital for examination to get early diagnosis and treatment. Signs 2. Increased leucorrhea, tofu-like, white, lumpy, and significantly increased in volume. It is often accompanied by internal and external itching, which is often very intense. Tip: Candidococcal (fungal) vaginitis This disease can be transmitted to each other through sexual intercourse and is therefore an STD in the broad sense. Unlike other STDs, Candida vaginitis is a very common female vaginal inflammatory disease that women suffer from at least once in their lifetime, with 40 – 50% having more than two episodes. In terms of age of onset, the best age of onset is around 20 years old when sexually active and the lowest incidence is over 50 years old. Some women are infected by means other than unclean sex: such as not paying attention to the cleanliness of the vulva or using unclean toilet paper or sanitary napkins; using a lot of broad-spectrum antibiotics, which leads to dysbiosis and favors the growth of disease fungi; diabetic patients are prone to candida vaginitis due to high sugar content in the blood. Signs 3. Strange itching of the vulva, increased leucorrhea, which can be foamy, and often yellow liquid on the underwear. Tip: Trichomonas vaginitis This disease can also be transmitted to each other through sexual intercourse and is a STD in the broad sense. Trichomoniasis is more common in women, mainly due to the destruction of the natural acidic environment of the vagina. However, men are less likely to be infected and most have no symptoms. Signs 4. Ulcers on the genital surface. They mostly appear as hard nodules about 1 cm in diameter on the inner side of the labia majora or labia minora, with mild surface rupture. Women often do not feel anything, and the ulcers disappear in about a month. Tip: Stage I syphilis . If clusters of small blisters and erosions with pain are found: Indication: genital herpes. The former ulcer is a hard chancre caused by syphilis spirochete infection, which is a special manifestation of early syphilis. The hard chancre has a large number of syphilis spirochetes on its surface, and the chance of being infected after contact is extremely high. The latter is caused by HSV infection, which can heal itself in 2 weeks, but recurrent attacks can easily cause miscarriage in women. Signs 5. Many red spots appear on the body, which are darker in color and need to be looked at carefully to be detected, and they do not itch. Tip: Stage II Syphilis The hard chancre of general syphilis will develop into stage II syphilis if not treated in time. The most typical is a dark red spot on the palms of the hands and feet, which can be surrounded by peeling skin. If the syphilis is not detected and treated in time, the syphilis will develop to the advanced stage, involving multiple organs of the body, making treatment difficult and prolonging the disease, and even endangering life. If the syphilis infection is not treated in time, the disease will be transmitted to the fetus, so special attention is needed. The majority of patients are young and middle-aged people who are sexually active. The most common age is 16-35 years old, and the highest incidence is in the 20-34 years old, before the onset of unclean sexual contact or spouse has a history of infection. The incubation period varies from 1 to 8 months, with an average of 3 months. The initial damage is a small, soft, light red papule, needle cap or rice grain in size. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into. Patients usually have no conscious symptoms. This feature can be used to identify female pseudowarts. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.
