These are most commonly recognized as small, soft lesions or 'warts' on the penis, scrotum, anus, or the cervix in females. They can appear spontaneously obvious cause but may become visible after a period of time or following exposure to an infected individual.
One of the most common STDs, chlamydia is primarily transmitted through sexual contact and can affect both men and women. Symptoms often include pnful urination, abnormal vaginal discharge, and pelvic pn in females; while in males, it might cause a burning sensation during urination or an excess of white, yellow, or green semen.
Gonorrhea affects the genitals, rectum, throat, or eyes. The symptoms often involve pnful or frequent urination for men and vaginal bleeding after intercourse for women. In men, a discharge from their urethra is common, while in women it may manifest as a yellowish-white vaginal discharge.
Syphilis begins with a pnless ulcer on the genitals or rectum that can easily be mistaken for a minor injury. If left untreated, syphilis can lead to severe health complications such as dementia and blindness. In later stages, symptoms might include skin rashes, swollen lymph nodes, and heart issues.
HIVDS
Immunodeficiency Virus HIV is often referred to as the 'DS' virus when it progresses from a manageable condition to one that significantly weakens the immune system. Early signs include flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and generalized body aches; however, these can be non-specific.
Herpes
Herpes outbreaks are characterized by pnful blisters or ulcers on the genitals or around the anus. The virus is highly contagious and can spread through skin contact, even when not visibly active. Commonly accompanied by burning sensations or itching prior to an outbreak.
Also known as 'crabs,' these tiny parasites latch onto the pubic hr area causing intense itching. In severe cases, it could lead to complications like folliculitis and skin abrasions if scratched excessively. Treatment usually involves a prescription medication or special shampoos.
This is one of the most prevalent non-viral STIs that affects the genital area leading to symptoms such as itching, burning during urination, unusual vaginal discharge for women, and a watery white or yellow discharge in men.
