Sexually transmitted diseases in men are very common today. The fact is that people began to forget moral standards, often change their sexual partners, and do not observe safety measures during sexual intercourse (not everyone uses an elementary protective tool - a condom). Naturally, there are many types of diseases presented, which are characterized by their symptoms, course and treatment characteristics.
Varieties of pathology and general symptoms
We list the most common sexually transmitted diseases in men.
- Gonorrhea. It is characterized by pain during urination, as well as yellow-white discharge from the genital canal.
- Syphilis. Often the first sign of the disease is a solid chancre, then there is an increase in lymph nodes. The subsequent stage of the pathology is characterized by rashes on the body, fever. At the last stage of the disease, the destruction of human systems and organs.
- Donovanosis. Pathology is characterized by a small red ulcer on the penis, which gradually increases in size.
- Herpes is genital. Among the signs of this disease, itching, pain, blistering rash, fever.
- Trichomoniasis, candidiasis, chlamydia. These pathologies may not appear for a long time, but they cause harm to the body.
Sexually transmitted diseases in men have some common symptoms. For example, discomfort in the genital area, unpleasant discharge with a bad smell, pain in the groin and sacrum, itching, fever, frequent urination, and a violation of sexual function can speak of pathology. Naturally, each disease is characterized by even more specific signs, but it is already determined by a specialist.
Causes of pathology and safety measures
As for the question “why do men have sexually transmitted diseases?”, The answer is unequivocal. The disease
is sexually transmitted from an infected partner. Moreover, its own immunity does not always work. Malicious viruses and bacteria provoke the appearance of the problem. Contribute to the development of the disease and frequent relationships with different women. The risk of infection in this case increases significantly.
It should be noted that a sick man is able to transmit the infection to a regular partner, so he should be responsible for his actions. First of all, try not to enter into intimate relationships with unfamiliar women. If this happens, always use a condom. This simple tool can protect you not only from sexually transmitted diseases, but also from AIDS. The best prevention of STDs is hygiene, as well as an intimate life with the same partner, whose health you are sure of.
Features of treatment for STDs
Sexually transmitted diseases in men, the symptoms of which can occur quickly, or not be noticeable at all, cannot be eliminated on their own. You will definitely need to consult a specialist who will do an examination, prescribe certain tests and make an accurate diagnosis. Naturally, each type of pathology has its own clinical picture and treatment program.
I must say that the course of therapy should continue for some time after the disappearance of symptoms, since the infection can still persist in the body. If you have a stable partner, then he must also undergo treatment.
Most often, antibiotics (Azithromycin, Metronidazole, and others) are used to eliminate the infection, as well as those drugs that support the immune system. Symptomatic therapy is also performed, that is, special ointments with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal and healing effects are used to remove ulcers, wounds and rashes. Medications are taken both orally and intramuscularly.
Often the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases in men is carried out in a hospital.
