«*» RUKHSANA«*» STDs Impact Women Differently from Men

 

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) remain a major public health challenge, especially among women, who disproportionately bear the long-term consequences of STDs. For example, each year untreated STDs cause infertility in women, and untreated syphilis in pregnant women results in increased infant mortality. Testing and treatment are keys to reducing disease and infertility associated with undiagnosed STDs. The reasons why women are more severely affected by STDs compared to men are enumerated below: A woman's anatomy can place her at a unique risk for STD infection, compared to a man. The lining of the vagina is thinner and more delicate than the skin on a penis, so it's easier for bacteria and viruses to penetrate The vagina is a good environment (moist) for bacteria to grow Women are less likely to have symptoms of common STDs — such as chlamydia and gonorrhea — compared to men. If symptoms do occur, they can go away even though the infection may remain Women may not see symptoms as easily as men. Genital ulcers (like from herpes or syphilis) can occur in the vagina and may not be easily visible, while men may be more likely to notice sores on their penis Women are more likely to confuse symptoms of an STD for something else. Women often have normal discharge or think that burning/itching is related to a yeast infection Men usually notice symptoms like discharge because it is unusual Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in women, and is the main cause of cervical cancer. While HPV is also very common in men, most do not develop any serious health problems STDs can lead to serious health complications and affect a woman's future reproductive plans. Untreated STDs can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, which can result in infertility and ectopic pregnancy Chlamydia (one of the most common STDs) results in few complications in men Women who are pregnant can pass STDs to their babies. Genital herpes, syphilis and HIV can be passed to babies during pregnancy and at delivery The harmful effects of STDs in babies may include stillbirth (a baby that is born dead), low birth weight (less than five pounds), brain damage, blindness and deafness                         WARM REGARDS, Akhtar khatri *****help what we can with others in need...the world is ONE big family*****   ALL THE MAILS POSTED BY ME R NOT MY PROPERTY, ALL R TAKEN FROM NET, IF SOMETHING IS COPYRIGHTED PLZ INFORM ME, SO THAT I MAY NOT POST THE MATERIAL IN THEFUTURE
