This document lists 11 common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), their causal organisms, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It provides details on STDs such as syphilis, gonorrhea, chancroid, AIDS, hepatitis B, genital herpes, genital warts, chlamydiasis, lymphogranuloma venereum, trichomoniasis, and candidiasis. For each STD, it outlines the stage of infection, associated signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests and methods, and prescribed antibiotic treatments or preventive measures. Abbreviations for various testing techniques and incubation periods are also defined.

4. STD STD
Syphilis
1st Stage :- infections and painless ulcers of
genitalia, swelling of lymph glands.
2nd Stage :- skin lesions, rashes, hair loss, swollen
joints
Later stages :- chronic ulcers on palate, nose,
lower leg, paralysis, brain damage, blindness, etc.
Gonorrhoea
Pus containing discharge, pain around genitalia,
burning sensation during urination
Chancroid
Painful ulcers over external genitalia, bleeding
with swelling of nearby lymph nodes.
AIDS
Fever, lethargy, weight loss, nausea, headache,
rashes, pharyngitis etc.
Hepatitis B
H-C & H-D
Fatigue, jaundice, persistent low fever, rashes,
abdominal pain. At later stage liver cirrhosis and
liver cancer

5. Genital Herpes
Painful ulcers over external genitalia and
perianal regions, swelling lymph nodes, fever
Genital Warts
Warts are hard outgrowths over external
genitalia and perianal regions, in female it
may enter vagina and cervix
Chlamydiasis Urethritis, cervicitis, tubitis, proctitis,
Lymphogranulo
ma Venereum
Primary coetaneous or mucosal lesion, local
destructive ulcers, rectal strictures, genital
elephantasis
Trichomoniasis
Females :- vaginitis with foul odour, burning
sensation, yellow vaginal discharge.
Males :- urethritis, prostitis, burning
sensation.
Candidiasis
Females :- painful vaginitis with thick cheesy
discharge.
Male :- painful urethritis
