1. Sexually Transmitted
Diseases
Dr.Ali Thwaini (Consultant Urologist Dubai)

2. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are
contagious diseases that are passed between persons through direct sexual contact,
through vaginal, oral, and anal sex. But sometimes they can spread through direct skin
contact. This is because some STDs, like herpes and HPV, are spread by skin-to-skin
contact.

3. Sexually Transmitted Diseases
There are several types of STDs that can be caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites,
including
 Chlamydia
 Genital herpes
 Gonorrhea
 HIV/AIDS
 HPV
 Pubic lice
 Syphilis
 Trichomoniasis

4. Symptoms of Sexually Transmitted
Diseases
STDs might cause minimal or even no symptoms. So it is possible to have an infection and not know
it. Yet they can still be passed on to others.
1. Unusual discharge from the penis or vagina
2. Sores or warts on the genital area
3. Painful or frequent urination
4. Itching and redness in the genital area
5. Blisters or sores in or around the mouth
6. Abnormal vaginal odor
7. Anal itching, soreness, or bleeding
8. Abdominal pain
9. Fever

5. Treatment for sexually transmitted
diseases:
Antibiotics can treat STDs caused by bacteria or parasites.
There is no cure for STDs caused by viruses, but medicines can
often help with the symptoms and lower your risk of spreading
the infection.
Prevention of sexually transmitted diseases:
Attempts to minimize direct genitalia and skin contact via the usage of latex
condoms greatly reduce but do not completely eliminate the risk of catching or
spreading STDs. The most reliable way to avoid infection is to not have anal, vaginal,
or oral sex.
