Sexually Transmitted Infections

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a set of infectious pathologies that give rise to different clinical conditions and in which the main route of transmission is sexual contact.

    The symptoms can be varied: many infections can be asymptomatic at the beginning.
  • Appearance of warts.
  • Vesicles.
  • Rash.
  • Ulcers.
  • Urethra exudate.
    Many infections can be asymptomatic at first.
    The main cause is the risky sexual practices that are determined by the non-use of the condom, the type of sexual practice, the number of sexual partners, the age of initiation of sexual activity or drug and alcohol abuse.
  • Have a sex life without adequate protection.
  • It is very important to keep in mind that sexually transmitted infections can be asymptomatic. That is, the patient has no symptoms and therefore does not know that he is infected and does not know that he is infected. These cases are only detected when a check is made or when the contacts of an infected person with symptoms are studied. If the man or woman has symptoms then, depending on these and their location, diagnostic tests may vary from sampling of the swab lesion to urine and blood tests.
    Depending on the acquired infection, complications can range from a local nuisance, to the spread of the disease systemically, even causing death.
  • The best way to prevent sexually transmitted infections is the correct use of the male condom (place it before any sexual contact), but keep in mind that there are infections that can be transmitted despite using the condom. Other systems are the female condom, vaccines (hepatitis A and B, human papillomavirus) and routine check-ups, especially in the population at risk or in people who start a new relationship.
