Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are infections transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), and HIV/AIDS.
These infections can cause a range of symptoms, from mild to severe, and can impact overall health and fertility if left untreated. Many STDs can be asymptomatic, making regular screening crucial for sexually active individuals.
Effective prevention strategies include consistent and correct use of condoms, regular STD testing, and open communication with sexual partners.
Treatment varies depending on the specific STD but often involves antibiotics or antiviral medications.
Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications and reduce transmission to others. Education and awareness play a vital role in controlling the spread of STDs and promoting sexual health.
