All STDs have a cure, with the exception of AIDS It's from genital herpes. STD (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) treatment varies according to the disease and may include antibiotics, antifungal medications, ointments, and even surgeries.
STDs that do not have a cure also need treatment to ease the symptoms and keep the disease under control.
Between the Most common STDs are candidiasis, genital herpes, HPV, syphilis, trichomoniasis, urethritis, hepatitis B and AIDS. All these diseases can be transmitted through unprotected sex, that is, without the use of condoms.
If not properly diagnosed and treated, STDs can cause complications which can even lead to death. Some complications include:
- Sterility (both male and female);
- Inflammation in the male genital organs that can cause impotence;
- Inflammation in the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries, which can progress to generalized infection (sepsis) and lead to death;
- Increased risk of cancer of the cervix and penis;
In women pregnant, some STDs can cause miscarriage, premature birth, fetal malformations, stillbirth in the mother's belly or after birth.
In addition to complications, STDs facilitate the sexual transmission of the virus HIV. The only way to prevent STDs is to use condoms in all sex.
It is important to remember that symptoms of STDs may take weeks or even years to manifest. In case of risk exposure, such as sexual intercourse without a condom, you should seek a health service to make tests and receive the appropriate treatment.
