What is STD?

STD is the acronym for “Sexually Transmitted Disease.” The Sexually Transmitted Diseases are infectious diseases transmitted mainly through unprotected sexual contact, but can also be transmitted through non-sexual contact, although this form of transmission is less frequent.

STD
Gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia can be transmitted from the infected mother to the child, either through the uterus, during pregnancy, or during childbirth, which can lead to spontaneous abortion or cause serious injury to the fetus.

Other Sexually Transmitted Diseases can also be transmitted by transfusion of contaminated blood or by sharing infected syringes and needles.

STDs manifest mainly through wounds, discharge, blisters or warts, in most cases in the external genitalia. However, they can also affect the prostate, uterus, testicles and other internal organs.

Some STDs only cause local irritation, itching, and mild pain, while others such as gonorrhea and chlamydia can even cause infertility in women.

STD treatment is basically done with antibiotics, some of them being easy and quick to treat, while others have more complicated or persistent treatment, although infected individuals report a sense of improvement.
