This is a our presentation about Sex transmitted diseases

1. SEX TRANSMITTED DISEASES

2. The Sexually transmitted diseases are infections that are passed from one
person to another through sexual contact. The causes of STDs are bacteria,
parasites, yeast, and viruses.
Most STDs affect both men and women, but in many cases the health
problems they cause can be more severe for women. If a pregnant woman
has an STD, it can cause serious health problems for the baby.
Antibiotics can treat STDs caused by bacteria, yeast, or parasites. There is no
cure for STDs caused by a virus, but medicines can often help with the
symptoms and keep the disease under control.
Correct usage of latex condoms greatly reduces, but does not completely
eliminate, the risk of catching or spreading STDs.

3. Types of sex transmitted diseases:
 Chlamydia: Is a common sexually transmitted disease. It is caused by bacteria called Chlamydia
trachomatis. It can infect both men and women. Women can get chlamydia in the cervix, rectum,
or throat. Men can get chlamydia in the urethra (inside the penis), rectum, or throat.
 Genital Herpes: Symptoms of herpes are called outbreaks. You usually get sores near the area
where the virus has entered the body. The sores are blisters which break and become painful, and
then heal. Sometimes people do not know they have herpes because they have no symptoms or
very mild symptoms.
 Gonorrhea: It is most common in young adults. The bacteria that cause gonorrhea can infect
the genital tract, mouth, or anus. You can get gonorrhea during vaginal, oral, or anal sex with an
infected partner.

Treatment Guidelines:
fore go undetected, and also because of underreporting. STDs have far-reaching public health consequences
on the sexual and reproductive health of individuals as well as the long-term health and health care costs of
the community.
The accurate identification and effective clinical management of STDs represents a critical strategy for
improving reproductive and sexual health and strengthening human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
prevention efforts. This is especially relevant to women, adolescents, and infants, as untreated infections
frequently result in severe, long-term complications, including tubal infertility, adverse pregnancy outcomes,
cancer, and facilitation of HIV infection. For more than 20 years, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s (CDC) national guidelines for managing STDs has helped clinicians deliver optimal STD care.
The CDC STD treatment guidelines are the most widely referenced and authoritative source of information
on STD treatment and prevention strategies for clinicians who evaluate persons with STDs or those at risk
for STDs.
