What diseases are considered STDs? Many people are very squeamish about STDs and don’t want to mention the disease. Non-medical professionals would think that diseases that occur in the genital area are mostly STDs. So what exactly is an STD? In fact, the definition and its scope vary from country to country. For example, scabies is classified as a sexually transmitted disease in some foreign countries, but in our country scabies is not considered a sexually transmitted disease. As a patient, we can simply understand this disease: it is a type of disease caused by sexual transmission as the main but not the only mode of transmission, with the genital area as the main site of prevalence, and the most common ones clinically are gonorrhea, syphilis, condyloma acuminata, and genital herpes. Of course there are other diseases such as AIDS. What are the things that we need to check for in our daily lives when we are faced with? There are too many patients who don’t know when they need to be tested for STDs, which can lead to serious or embarrassing consequences, for example, if someone is pregnant and finds out she has syphilis during a regular pregnancy test, they are scared and don’t know what to do. The following are some of the things we should check for STDs. (a) when you have an affair for various reasons; whether your sex partner is a “lady” or a “male sex worker”, as long as the other party is not your legal sex partner, it is recommended that you go to the dermatology department to screen for STDs; (b) when you plan to get married; marriage is a major life event. It is a big event in life, and many people are reluctant to check this STD, thinking that checking STD is suspecting the other party, not trusting the other party, and fearing that the marriage will fall apart, which is not true, if the other party or yourself have this disease is not treated, it may cause very serious consequences after marriage. For example, if you get married to a person with syphilis and end up having a child, you will find out that you also have syphilis. The actual fact is that you can find out that the genital area has warts during pregnancy, because too many drugs and too much treatment are not available during pregnancy, so when you visit the doctor is scrupulous is very heavy, when everyone is very difficult. So before marriage or both sides in a euphemistic way to discuss, for example: I saw on TV yesterday a mother in pregnancy with syphilis, although after treatment, the child born with heart problems, so unfortunate ah. At that time, experts recommended that it is best to check the relevant STDs before marriage, I certainly believe that you will not have cheated, but for the sake of the next generation we better go to do a checkup. I believe that the other party generally will not refuse. (c) when you plan to have children; childbirth and marriage are the same as the big events in life, some couples may want to fight for a few years after marriage and then have children, some young couples may be married for many years before they plan to have children, then during this period anything can happen, so before having children it is recommended that both sides take a census of STDs; usually to check STDs if we go to the hospital to do what kind of examination it If you want to check a STD. Then you have come to the dermatology department. What indicators will the doctor give you to check. The most common tests are blood and urine, at least for syphilis and AIDS, and at least for gonorrhea. Of course, sometimes we will also do more in-depth examination, depending on the specific circumstances, due to the strong professional, we will be introduced later; test report form suggests negative is not necessarily okay? There are many kinds of sexually transmitted diseases, and some people go home happily when they see the doctor’s report card is negative, and they don’t take it to the doctor for follow-up. Some STDs have a latent period, such as syphilis and AIDS have a latent period, if you check these diseases in the latent period the results suggest that they are negative. So some patients may have to be rechecked after a period of time to be able to explain the problem again.
