Things you should know to protect from STD's or Sexually transmitted diseases


Most of the women die of poor reproductive health as a result of
unwanted pregnancies or because of sexually transmitted diseases.


Sexually transmitted disease, as the term indicates is any sort of
venereal disease caused due to sexual intercourse or other sexual
intact. The microbes which cause STD's are just opportunity bugs
that don't consider any gender or sex but only require a warm body.
In women, STD's often lead to infertility, miscarriage, infection
among the newborn or premature birth of the child.
You should know the below mentioned facts to protect yourselves
from sexually transmitted diseases.


1. STD easily spreads when there is any transfer of
bodily fluids such as semen, vaginal secretions or blood from any
person to another.
2. If a person has any sort of sexually transmitted
disease and some other person has sex with that infected person, he
or she is the quickest victim of STD.

This is the reason why one
should avoid having multiple partners or any monogamous
relationship where one person is carrying an infection from a prior
sexual encounter.
3. Sexually transmitted diseases are very contagious so
if a woman has sex with his partner who is already infected with
gonorrhea ( a kind of STD) then she holds a chance of 80 to 90
percent of getting the disease. In case her partner carries two
diseases namely gonorrhea and Chlamydia, she could be infected with
both of them at the same time.


4. Vaginal intercourse carries the highest STD infections
but other routes such as anal sex, oral sex or sexual abuse of
children and mother to baby infection during child birth are also
causes for such diseases.
5. STD's weakens the immune system and therefore if a
person is infected with such disease he or she has more chances of
getting other infections.

Even if a person recovers from a sexually
transmitted disease, he or she has a weak immune system.
6. STD among women is not much obvious as compared to men
which show clear symptoms of the disease. As such the problem could
be misdiagnosed among women.


7. Most of the times, it happens that women are infected
with such diseases but since the symptoms are not clear they
unknowingly infect other sexual partner.
8. Men are secretly bisexual and as such they could
easily pick up an STD from any homosexual encounter and pass it to
an unsuspecting heterosexual partner.


9. Lesbians are less likely to have STD's as sexually
transmitted diseases are not easily spread from woman to woman.
