Recognizing Roanoke STD Symptoms And How To Avoid Them In The First Place

By George Kelly


Sexually transmitted diseases have been around for hundreds of years. Sex education is taught in most schools today, and teachers are usually allowed to discuss the various diseases associated with unprotected sexual contact and how to avoid getting them. It seems hard to believe but many Virginia natives, along with others throughout the country. Are still unable to describe the most commonly sexually transmitted diseases and their Roanoke STD symptoms.

More than half the population, that is sexually active, has been affected by the human papilloma virus. Genital and throat warts are the most common indication someone has the disease, but these individuals may not show any signs of them until the problem is advanced. Some people mistakenly think engaging in oral sex will keep them safe from this disease, but this is not true.

Herpes is another common disease that most individuals are at least familiar with, but many can not tell what the markers are. It can cause lesions in the mouth or genital area that are painful and hard to get rid of. Antibiotics can treat the lesions, but there is no cure for the disease which can flare up at any time. Herpes is transmitted by skin to skin contact. One partner can get it from another even when there are no visible signs of the condition.

There are currently more cases of chlamydia than any other sexually transmitted disease. A lot of people have it for years without knowing. Painful intercourse and unusual discharge are the most common signs. This disease can be cured, and it can certainly be prevented. Using condoms is effective and recommended.

Hepatitis B is a serious condition that, left untreated, can lead to cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer, and death. Sexual contact with an affected party is not the only way to contract this disease, but it is one of them. Tiredness, nausea, yellowing of the eyes and skin, which is called jaundice, and bloating are common signs.

Syphilis and gonorrhea seem like conditions that people had in times long past, and that is true. It is also true that these conditions are still around, and they are not uncommon in today's world. New gonorrhea cases top half a million each year with no signs of slowing down. The most common symptom is a burning sensation during urination.

Syphilis is a bacterial infection that is caused by contact with an infected person who has small sores in the mouth or genital area. It can be transmitted to an unborn baby if the mother is infected. This disease may have no signs at all or may be indicated by the sores mentioned and hair loss, fever, and a skin rash. A condom is good protection against this disease.

Sex is a natural part of life. It is also necessary to be responsible and sensible when engaging in it. Understanding the risks and eliminating them in every way possible is the best way to do that.
