In the category of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), the sexually transmitted disease symptoms are caused by various microorganisms that are associated with sexual activity. Not all diseases included in this category are transmitted sexually and their effects are not restricted to reproductive organs. There are approximately 24 STDs but we will stop here on the most popular.



Syphilis is an infectious disease caused by Treponema Pallidum, most often transmitted sexually (90% of cases) but also by kissing, accidental inoculation through bites or stings, transfusion of fresh blood, open sores of skin diseases (herpes , acne) and quite exceptional by contaminated objects. Syphilis can be transmitted from a sick mother to the child starting with 3.4 months of pregnancy. The average incubation period is 21 days.

The sexually transmitted disease symptoms for syphilis begin with the appearance of syphilitic chancre (erosion with smooth edge, clean bottom and the last, covered by a serosity without inflammation and painless). Secondary syphilis occurs as 6-8 weeks after the appearance of chancre and is characterized by a number of skin manifestations, usually accompanied by visceral poly-adenopathy.

Some of the symptoms may be erythematous, erosive mucosa (the lining of the mouth, genital, anal, etc.), or pigmentation and ulcer. The hair can be affected(syphilitic alopecia), as well as the nails. General symptoms are represented by fever, moderate weight loss, decreased appetite, headache, bone or muscle.

Latent syphilis is a seemingly quiet period after secondary infection symptoms were off and can take years. Tertiary syphilis occurs after a variable period of onset of the disease (between 3 and 20 years) and is not necessarily an evolutionary stage skin. Diagnosis is serological: RBW test (now abandoned) or VDRL. Gonorrhea (gonorrhea) is a bacterial infection almost always sexually contacted. The incubation period is 3-5zile.

Acute infection is rarely met in women but when it is characterized by burn sensations and pain when urinating, vaginal and urethral yellowish secretion. Chronic infection, almost asymptomatic, is mostly met in women. The man has an acute infection that starts with previous urethritis itching, redness and swelling of the area. Then the yellow-green secretion is being associated with urethral burning and pain on urination.

Trichomoniaza is an infection caused by a parasite (Trichomonas vaginalis) transmitted sexually. After some statistics is the most common sexually transmitted disease. The transmission can also occur by water in swimming pools, toilet cover sites, toilet articles, but these are extremely rare cases. The main transmitter of the disease is the man who most often presents as an asymptomatic.

In women the disease is evolving as a sub-acute vulvo-vaginitis characterized by itching, burning, vaginal discomfort associated with whitish secretion, creamy yellow or greenish ugly smelly secretion. Untreated, this disease will become chronic with relapsed pre-and post-menstrual and pregnancy. Non-specific infections are often caused by Chlamydia trachomatis.

In women, most often, these infections are asymptomatic but may manifest through the vagina, cervical or urethral syndrome. In men, urethritis is often sub acute, with frequent urination, mild dysuria, clear urethral secretion, or white lining. Evocative symptoms are severe itching in the pubic symphysis, especially in the evening and night, caused by parasites stings.
