Sexually transmitted diseases are among the most common. Their transmission occurs, as a rule, during unprotected sexual intercourse. That's why doctors recommend having one partner all the time, and always use a condom during casual relationships! The hypocrisy in our country leads to the fact that many are embarrassed to purchase these contraceptive products, and even one name drives them into the paint. The result of this is a queue for an anonymous appointment with a venereologist. Everyone needs to know the symptoms of STDs in order to recognize them in time.
Candidiasis
The initial stage is dysbiosis. An excess of their own bacteria in women is observed against the background of hormonal changes or under other conditions. It is important to know that the occurrence of the disease does not always mean infection, but the sexual partner is necessarily at risk. The symptoms of STDs in this case are white curdled discharge with an unpleasant odor, a constant burning sensation in the genitals, a certain discomfort and even pain during sexual intercourse. This is characteristic of women. In men, sometimes everything goes away without obvious signs, but sometimes the head of the penis turns red, itching and burning appear, white plaque. It is necessary to be treated together with the doctor's prescription.

The disease can develop for a long time in a latent form, when a person does not even suspect that he is infected and dangerous for loved ones. During the first stage (on average 2-4 months), a dense, painless ulcer appears at the site of the lesion. After 3 weeks, there is an increase in nearby lymph nodes. After some time, the ulcer completely disappears without a trace. The second stage is characterized by a widespread rash, fever and headache.
Chlamydia and trichomoniasis
The first disease passes most often without discomfort and any pain, and the second is characterized by profuse yellow discharge, itching (in women, men often endure without obvious signs of infection). Only a doctor can determine the presence of the virus after an examination.
Genital herpes
If the infection occurred for the first time, then there is a burning sensation, pain and swelling of the affected area. The symptoms of STDs are also characteristic, such as fever, weakness, general poor health. Soon watery vesicles form, which burst after some time, and sores remain in their place. This is quite painful, most often they heal in two weeks. Relapse of infection is possible and is characterized by a more rapid course of the disease.

Although this disease refers to those that are sexually transmitted, it is actually not dangerous for a male partner. Vaginosis appears only in women in the form of unpleasantly smelling, non-abundant grayish secretions.
