Sexual transferable diseases

Condoms do not only protect against AIDS. Also different diseases are transferred with unprotected Sex.

What are sexual transferable diseases?

STD are transferred by sexual contact. The more frequently one its partner changes, the more largely is the danger to infect itself with sexual transferable diseases. The risk can be reduced, by operating Safer Sex, thus for example a condom used. The healing chances are usually good, if the illness is early recognized and treated. Unfortunately the symptoms show up frequently only very late.
What are sex diseases?

Under the term sex diseases fall only certain diseases, which will transfer by sexual contacts. In addition syphilis, Gonorrhö, Ulcus molle, Lymphogranuloma inguinale and Granuloma count venerum. They are defined in the law for the fight against sex diseases. Today the two terms sex diseases and sexual transferable diseases are however frequently synonymously used.
Which kinds of sexual transferable diseases are there?

The following sexual transferable diseases are furthest common:

Chlamydien infection

As the European guidelines that against internationally union Sexually Transmitted Infections (IUSTI) * reports, infections with Chlamydien are the most frequent STD with men and women in Europe. Chlamydien are spherical bacteria, which can survive only in landlord cells. Many the infected one do not have hardly complaints and to notice from there their inflammation. Unfortunately thereby the risk of a chronic illness and an unnoticed spreading increases.

Chlamydien can be treated very effectively with certain antibiotics. A partner therapy is indicated. The physician will take - depending upon kind of the therapy - two to four weeks after the treatment a control reduction, in order to exclude the presence of further exciters. Since an existing Chlamydieninfektion favours the infestation with additional exciters, the European guidelines of the IUSTI* recommend that each Chlamydienträger should be examined even for further sexual transferable diseases.

Tripper (Gonorrhoe)

Tripper is an infection, which is caused by bacteria. They stricken not only not only the sex ways and - organs, but are dependent on the sexual preferences also in the throat or in the final intestine. Also this germ can lead with women and men to ascending infections, which can accompany with a following Unfruchtbarkeit. In some cases the Gonorrhoe runs however perfectly symptom-freely. Typical is however a yellowish white discharge from cervix or penis. In up to 70 per cent of the cases the infected women do not notice their illness. Perhaps the infection continues so for a long time that it comes to chronic suffering.

Therapeutically antibiotics are successfully used. A partner therapy is indicated. After conclusion of the therapy nache the European guidelines of the IUSTI* control must be accomplished.

Herpes genitalis

Herpes genitalis is usually released by Herpes simplex viruses (HSV) type II.

Herpesläsionen are at the outside, in addition, at the internal genital organ or within the range of the after. Type II viruses can also to skin features in the oral cavity lead.

There is no healing for Herpes genitalis. The viruses outlast in the nerve knot (nerve ganglia). With good body defense the occurrence of symptoms is suppressed, with bad body defense can come it to infection back cases. The treatment with antiviral means iminnerhalb from five days to occurrence of the first complaints can alleviate the complaints and reduce the propagation of the vesicles, so that they heal faster. Tablets with the Virustatika Aciclovir, Famciclovir or Valaciclovir - in each case over five days - are equivalent according to estimate of the European guidelines of the IUSTI*. Additionally in the acute phase saltwater baths and a sufficient pain therapy are recommended if necessary.

HIV Infektion/AIDS

AIDS ranks among the most dangerous sexual transferable illnesses and by HIV (human immune weakness virus) is released. The virus is in all body fluids, particularly highly concentrated in sperm and blood. By small, usually visible injuries at the genital organ the exciters do not succeed in penetrating into the organism. The risk of infection depends particularly on the virus concentration of the secretion.

The diagnosis is placed on the basis the HIV antibodies in the blood. The proof succeeds on the average to six to twelve weeks after the contact. Therefore it is important that the HIV test is accomplished as fast as possible after an infection suspicion and repeated then after three months (confirmation test). During this time should be practiced excluding Safer Sex. With a contact with virushaltigen body fluids and the potenziellen danger of a transmission of the HIV, there is the possibility of a post office exposition prophylaxis. It is meaningful in the first 72 hours and exists in an anti-virus therapy of several weeks. There are starting packages for the aufwändige therapy in the emergency outpatient clinics of hospitals.

HIV/Aids is not more curable. Ever in former times however the diagnosis is placed, so much the better is the physicians in the situation to help. There are nowadays effective medicines, which improve the quality of life and which extend life expectancy.

Cowardly warts

Cowardly warts are caused by human Papilloma viruses (HPV). The virus here particularly plays a role with the emergence of cancer at the sex organs, at the cervix and penis. In addition, one finds accumulated viruses with the Analkarzinom. In addition the warts are either rose Kohl similar or flat, them usually occur at the Penisschaft or at the Schamlippen and can with both sexes around the final intestine occur. Occasionally they form also in the oral cavity or in the throat area.

Therapeutically are applicable local treatments with special creams (with the active substances 5-Fluorouracil or Podophyllotoxin) and Tinkturen or the chirugische demolition with laser or river. The treatment is relatively lengthy. The European guidelines of the IUSTI* recommend to let always also the partner examine for a possible HPV infestation.

Syphilis

Syphilis is an infection, which is caused by bacteria of the type Treponema pallidum. In the last years she is again increased observed. After the Erstinfektion spread the exciters over the bloodstream in the entire body.

Syphilis is treated with penicillin. Possible Ausweichantibiotoka, e.g. with Penicilinallergie, is Doxycyklin and Erythromycin.
Hint, in order to avoid sexual transferable diseases

The risk to get sexual transferable diseases is strongly lowered by the use by condoms. It is advisable to use condoms in combination with sperm cells a killing ointment.
