Characteristics
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are diseases that are primarily transmitted during sexual intercourse – vaginal, oral or anal. These diseases can affect anyone who is sexually active, so it is important to understand how to prevent them, how to diagnose them, and what treatment options are available.What are sexually transmitted diseases?
Sexually transmitted diseases are infections caused by different types of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses and parasites. The most common STDs include: Chlamydia – caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, Gonorrhoea (gonorrhoea) – caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Syphilis – caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, HIV/AIDS – a virus that weakens the immune system, Herpes genitalis – caused by the herpes simplex virus, HPV (human papillomavirus) – a virus that causes genital warts and is associated with cervical cancer, Trichomoniasis – caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalisDiagnosis of venereal diseases
Correct and timely diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. Many infections can be asymptomatic, so regular testing is extremely important, especially when changing sexual partners. Diagnostics in our clinic include: Blood tests for syphilis, HIV and other diseases, Genital swabs for chlamydia, gonorrhoea and trichomoniasis, Urine samples for chlamydia and gonorrhoea, Physical examination to detect genital warts or other symptomsSTD treatment
Treatment of STDs depends on the type of disease. Bacterial infections such as chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhoea are treated with antibiotics. Most of these infections can be cured completely if treatment is started early. However, it is important that all sexual partners of an infected person also undergo treatment to prevent re-infection. Viral infections such as HIV, herpes or HPV cannot be completely cured but can be controlled with medication, reducing the risk of transmission and improving the patient’s quality of life. For some infections, such as HPV, there are also vaccines that can help prevent infection and are very effective, especially if given before sexual activity begins.Sexually transmitted diseases are a serious problem that can have a negative impact on the health of individuals and society as a whole.
