How we will know the symptoms? What you can do and how is the treatment?
There are certain symptoms and signs which should be sexually active to have suspected that there might be something wrong and that it might. It shall consist of a social disease. Especially people who have had casual sexual partners or are in a period has had several different partners without consistently using condoms, should be especially aware of genes from the abdomen.
Below are described some of the danger signals, to increase one's awareness of the possibility of being infected with a disease. While it is important to stress that most STDs either do not give symptoms or give vague signs and genes that are not thinking of the lanes.
No symptoms and signs
It is important to realize that you can be infected with a disease without having the slightest symptoms or signs that something is wrong. If a period has had a "lively" sex with multiple partners, and condoms have not always been applied correctly, can be relatively easily incur a disease without knowing it. This is called to be healthy carriers of a disease.
Thus, most of which are infected with chlamydia, and never feel anything for the infection, but they will still be able to provide further infection. Only when the complications are perhaps aware that there has been talk about this infection, which has damage to the egg heads.
Most who are infected with herpes at the genitals, will never experience the famous attack of wounds and pain. It seems that most people who are infected and it is approx. 20 per cent. of all adults, only a few times a year, some days where there is light generation with perhaps a little redness and small cracks. Symptoms and signs are not seen as an expression of recurrent disease.
Condylomas or genital warts can be so small that they are not visible to the naked, uøvede glance. Man discovers them, or only after some months.
A syphilis, sores can save themselves in the vagina or rectum end. The wound is completely uømt and can therefore easily overlooked.
How it could go on. The message is clear. Do you have the slightest suspicion that you may have been infected with a disease, go to your doctor and have made a study.
When it stings and hurts
If there are smart and hurt by genitals, it can be a sign of infection with disease. For example, it may involve a herpessar which can cause discomfort, pain and suffering, when the disease is in the outbreak. It can be difficult even to see if there is a very small wounds, especially if you are a woman. Sting can also be caused by infection with chlamydia, which sits in the urethra and cervix and inflammation. Yeasts in the vagina and external genitals may also give the sting, particularly itching. But it is not a social disease.
When there is udflad
Both men, who have udflad from the urethra, and the women who complain of increased udflad must suspect the presence of sexually transmitted disease. Chlamydia is the most common cause. Infection with gonorrhea and trichomonas are now rare in Denmark, but both diseases can give udflad. Are women both udflad and strong itching, it is often evidence of yeast in the vagina, an imbalance of the normal lactic acid bacteria have declined. Udflad, which is very smelly, rotten fish which is very often a symptom of a condition in which there are many small bacteria in the vagina, which has replaced the normal lactic acid bacteria. Nor is this mode, one of the most common causes of udflad, infecting as a social disease.
In the buds, or Warts
One of the most common STDs today is genital warts or condylomas. It is a disease that infects through intercourse. If there is a small ujavheder or buds on the mucous membranes or skin genitals, is the most obvious cause of infection with the virus that gives condylomas. Some get very visible Warts, but others will have more surface elements, which very easily overlooked. Small buds can also be signs of the so-called "vandvorter" or mollusker, a viral infection which can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. The small items sitting in kønsbeharingen on sex work, and very often also on the inside of the thighs.
In the wounds
The main reason to come ulcer genitals is an outbreak of herpes. Many are infected with this virus without knowing it. We think therefore no further than the few times a year are easily annoyed, perhaps wrongly perceived as irritation or "sponge". At the outbreak of the sting, sores and pain must always suspect herpes. Only one study from the doctor can determine if it is. Finally, a single ulcer genitals be signs of syphilis in the first stage.
When the claws
The main cause of itching is yeast in women. Itching can also occur in response to udflad from the vagina caused by chlamydia. If there is itching in kønsbeharingen, you must be aware that it may be fladlus (morpioner). The small animals and eggs sits on the hair. Itching over the whole body may be due to being infected with scabies (scabies). Fnatmiderne transmitted by close contact, eg in connection with sexual intercourse.
When it is red and underlined
If there occurs a sudden swelling and redness, you should suspect that it may involve a stronger herpes outbreaks. This is especially if you never had forkølelsessar that there may come a worse infection if infected with the herpes virus. There will be many small wounds on the mucous membranes.
What are the most common STDs?
In Denmark, the three most common STDs, the following:
Chlamydia
A special genital warts (condylomas)
Due to special types of virus. Very smitsommme but not all those infected, develop condylomas, which are visible. Can be hard to come by.
Herpes
A viral infection which approx. 20 per cent. of the adult population are infected with. Some have recurring sores on genitals, but most have very few outbreaks, easily overlooked or perceived as banal irritation.
Rarer venereal diseases in Denmark include:
Gonorrhea
Is Gonococcal infection with the bacterium that gives inflammation of the urethra, cervix, rectum and throat end. Yellow flux suggests gonorrhea.
Trichomonas
This is the name for a parasite that gives infection in the vagina with udflad. Have been rare in Denmark. Men rarely have symptoms, even though it exists in the urethra.
Fladlus
Fladlus or morpioner are small animals living in kønsbeharingen. They often give rise to itching in the area.
Mollusker
Mollusker or "vandvorter" are frequent in very young children who are infected by peers. The condition can also act as a disease in which the small hudfarvede buds sit in and around the genitals. They can spread down the inside of the thighs.
Syphilis
Infection with syphilis, the bacterium is very rare today. A few weeks after infection can provide a uømt wounds at genitals, and may subsequently cause a reddish rash on the body.
Cell of the cervix
Cell occurs only in women who are infected with specific viruses, which resemble the virus, giving genital warts. It seems that only women who have a chronic infection, are at risk. Follow the mandatory routine tests, reduce the risk of severe disease significantly.
Hepatitis B
Infectious hepatitis (hepatitis B) can be infected through sexual intercourse. Both heterosexual and homosexual transmission is possible. 5-10 per cent. of those infected develop a chronic infection which can cause damage to the liver. Very few have symptoms or signs that they are infected.
HIV
HIV is a viral infection. Echoed through intercourse, most likely through homosexual contacts. Many have no symptoms for many years. Later may come a series of infections as a sign of the weakened immune system.
Can I treat sexually transmitted diseases?
Generally you can not even treat his disease. For most infections, one must use prescription drugs that your doctor prescribes. Medicines for example, scabies and fladlus may be available without prescription at the pharmacy.
There is an exception to the rule that it is the physician who treats associated with genital warts (condylomas). Her doctor may choose to be treated with a Condyline / Wartec solution or Aldara cream, which can even be spread on our markets at home. The doctor will then at appropriate intervals to ensure that treatment is effective.
When should I consult a doctor?
You should always consult a doctor if something is bothering, or anything that looks abnormal during genitals. It is not always, it is a social disease, but will the doctor to decide.
However, it is not always sufficient to settle for that there is nothing, everything in her finest order. Unfortunately it is not always the case. Have we grown unsafe sex for a period of his life, there is a theoretical risk that it has contracted a disease that does not necessarily give symptoms. This applies as previously mentioned, for example, chlamydia, herpes and condylomas. You can also walk around with a serious contagious infections such as syphilis, hepatitis B and HIV, and feel perfectly healthy, yet his partner infection.
So the best advice: Contact your doctor at least suspect that you may have been exposed to infection with a disease, even if you do not notice a abnormally.
