• Gonorrhea: Caused by bacteria, gonorrhea spreads through various sexual activities and can lead to symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, pain during urination, and increased vaginal discharge. Untreated gonorrhea may result in complications like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Treatment involves antibiotics administered through injection and oral medication.
• Chlamydia: Another bacterial infection, chlamydia often presents without symptoms but can cause abnormal vaginal discharge and painful urination. Left untreated, it can lead to pelvic organ scarring and fertility issues. Antibiotics effectively treat chlamydia, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment.
• Trichomoniasis: This infection, caused by a parasite, manifests with symptoms like foul-smelling discharge, discomfort during urination and intercourse, and genital irritation. Both partners require treatment with antibiotics to manage trichomoniasis effectively.
• HIV: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks the immune system and spreads through sexual contact, blood, or body fluid exposure. Initial symptoms may resemble flu-like symptoms, but if left untreated, HIV can lead to severe illnesses. Diagnosis involves a blood test, with lifelong antiviral medication as treatment.
• Syphilis: Syphilis, caused by spiral-shaped bacteria, progresses through stages, starting with painless sores on the genitals or mouth. If untreated, it progresses to secondary and latent stages, potentially leading to life-threatening conditions. Early detection through blood tests is crucial, with treatment involving antibiotics.
• Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV): Genital herpes, a viral infection, transmits through sexual or skin-to-skin contact with herpetic blisters. Symptoms include painful genital blisters and flu-like symptoms. While there’s no cure, medication can manage symptoms and reduce outbreaks.
