Recognizing Roanoke STD Symptoms Is Critical For Sexually Active Virginians

By George Kelly


Sexually transmitted diseases have been around for hundreds of years. Sex education is taught in most schools today, and teachers are usually allowed to discuss the various diseases associated with unprotected sexual contact and how to avoid getting them. It seems hard to believe but many Virginia natives, along with others throughout the country. Are still unable to describe the most commonly sexually transmitted diseases and their Roanoke STD symptoms.

One of the diseases that has been getting a lot of press lately is the human papilloma virus. It has affected almost a million people. A common misconception among young people is that engaging in oral sex reduces the risk of getting a sexually transmitted disease. Many who have never had anything but oral sex have wound up with HPV. The signs are genital warts and warts in the throat that, untreated, will eventually make it hard to breathe. Infected individuals may never see a symptom until they have an advanced case of HPV.

Over the years people have joked about herpes, but for the people who have it, it's no laughing matter. Antibiotics can reduce the disease to a dormant stage, but they do not cure it, and the active signs tend to flare up periodically. Lesions in the mouth and on the genitals are good signs of herpes, especially if they cause pain. Scientists know skin to skin contact can cause transmission whether or not the disease is in an active stage.

Chlamydia is the most commonly sexually transmitted disease, and it can go undetected for years. Pain during intercourse and a thick discharge are the most frequent indicators of the condition. Chlamydia is curable, and it is preventable. Using a condom during sex will prevent the disease.

Not everyone thinks of hepatitis B as a sexually transmitted disease, but that is one way to get it. This form of hepatitis is very serious and ignoring the signs can result in liver damage, liver cancer, and death. The most common indications of this condition are feeling constantly tired and jaundice, which is a yellowing of the complexion and whites of the eyes.

Gonorrhea and syphilis seem like diseases from a bygone era, but they are alive and well and active today. It is difficult to see signs of gonorrhea. A burning sensation while urinating may be an indication. If you have this problem, you should see a doctor and be honest about your sexual activity. The disease is widespread and more common than most people think.

Syphilis is a bacterial infection that is caused by contact with an infected person who has small sores in the mouth or genital area. It can be transmitted to an unborn baby if the mother is infected. This disease may have no signs at all or may be indicated by the sores mentioned and hair loss, fever, and a skin rash. A condom is good protection against this disease.

No sexually active person is completely safe from sexually transmitted diseases. They are common, powerful, and some are hard to get rid of. Eliminating risky behaviors is a good way to ensure they don't happen to you,
