Medical Video: 9 Baby Gender Tests Put To The Test | Channel Mum Mythbusters
Too much information is wrongly spread about sexually transmitted diseases (venereal disease), and in fact this is not too surprising. Of course, the only way for you to be 100% sure you won't contract venereal diseases such as herpes, chlamydia or gonorrhea, is to not have sex in any form with someone who is infected. However, if you decide to have sex, you have to know the information and make sure what is right and what is not true.
The following are 5 common mistakes people know about venereal disease.
Myth: We can know if someone has a venereal disease just by looking at it
The fact: Even doctors cannot say that someone has contracted venereal disease just by looking at it. They need to do a test, like a blood test.
People with venereal disease may not know that they have it, because venereal disease does not always have symptoms. But without any symptoms, people with venereal disease can transmit and spread the virus. Untreated venereal disease can result in serious health problems, such as infertility or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can result in you ending up in the hospital.
What can you do?
Even though you and your partner think that none of you have contracted venereal disease, it never hurts to do an examination before having sex. In addition, using condoms every time you connect, this is a form of prevention because the results of examination of venereal disease can be quite time-consuming to look at.
Myth: We can avoid venereal disease with oral or anal sex
The fact: Whatever form of sex (oral, anal, vaginal, or just sexual contact), does not rule out the possibility of transmission of venereal disease.
Viruses or bacteria that cause venereal disease can enter the human body even through small cuts or tears in the mouth and anus, as well as the genitals. Some venereal diseases, such as herpes or genital warts, can be transmitted only through contact with infected skin or wounds.
What can you do?
Use a condom or dental dam every time you do oral or anal sex. If the taste of rubber is bothering you, condoms with various flavors and aromas are now available specifically for oral sex.
Myth: If I have contracted venereal disease once, I will not get infected again
The fact: You can contract venereal disease more than once.
Some types of venereal disease cannot be cured forever, for example herpes and HIV. In addition, diseases such as chlamydia and gonohea can still be cured. Therefore, you can contract again with the same disease if you make contact with someone who has contracted the disease.
What can you do?
Of course protect yourself with a condom! And if you have sex, you can do an examination by a doctor regularly. If you are diagnosed with venereal disease, your partner must also do healing treatment at that time like you. That way, your partner will avoid continuing problems in the future and prevent transmission again.
Myth: If I do an examination and the results are negative, then the couple does not have to check themselves out
The fact: Your partner may be infected with venereal disease and not know it.
It is not impossible for you to do an examination, knowing that you do not have a venereal disease, but end up contracting it from your own partner.
What can you do?
Do a joint inspection. It does not sound romantic, but there is no better proof of love than protecting each other from disease.
