Medical Video: STD and STD Symptoms
Basically, it is difficult to diagnose male genital disease directly. Common symptoms that usually arise are, a lump or rash on the genitals, itching in the penis or testicles, and also pain when urinating. Then, what are the sexually transmitted diseases that commonly occur in men? Let's look at a discussion of some examples of venereal diseases that often infect men below.
3 venereal diseases that often attack men
1. Chlamydia
This male genital disease is usually caused by a bacterial infection. Chlamydia often spread by vaginal, anal, or oral sex.
Chlamydia will be characterized by symptoms of pain or heat when a man urinates. For initial medical treatment, you are usually only given antibiotics. After a period of healing, you must undergo a repeat test within three months, to detect whether you really have been free of chlamydia or not.
2. Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea is one of the male genital diseases caused by bacteria. Symptoms of venereal disease, usually appear around 10-20 days after you begin to become infected. When symptoms begin to appear, you are better off getting treatment as soon as possible. If left untreated, gonorrhea can cause a rash, fever, and eventually joint pain.
3. Syphilis
Syphilis is a venereal disease caused by bacteria that can infect the skin, mouth, genitals, and nervous system. Syphilis is also known as syphilis or king of lions. If detected early, syphilis will be more easily cured and will not cause permanent damage.
However, untreated syphilis can cause serious damage to the brain or nervous system and other organs, including the heart. Although both attack men and women, the number of syphilis sufferers in men does not decrease.
How to avoid male venereal disease?
Anyone who is sexually active can be at risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases. However, there are many things you can do to protect the health of your body and sex. Of course, you have to learn about how bacteria and viruses spread and how you can reduce the risk of getting an infection like this:
- The Central for Disease Control (CDC) recommends vaccines human papillomavirus, especially for men aged 26 years and over. While gays, bisexuals and others are at greater risk of developing other venereal diseases such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and human papillomavirus (HPV).
- Be sure to always wear a condom during sex. Also avoid using the same condom at different sex relationships.
- It is strictly forbidden to trigger free sex without condoms. This behavior can be triggered by mixing alcoholic beverages and other sex drugs, which can make the mind and body unconscious to have unprotected sex
- Limit the number of your sex partners. Being loyal to one sex partner can in fact reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.
