Venereal diseases

Sexually transmitted diseases, also known as morbi venerei (from the Latin "morbi venerei"), are a group of infectious diseases transmitted primarily through sexual contact. The term "venereal" comes from the name of Venus, the goddess of love in ancient Roman mythology, which reflects the connection of these diseases with the sexual sphere.

Sexually transmitted diseases are a serious public health problem because they can lead to serious complications, including infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, cancer, and mother-to-child transmission during pregnancy or childbirth.

The most common sexually transmitted diseases are the following:

  1. Syphilis: is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It is transmitted primarily through sexual contact, but can also be passed from mother to child during pregnancy. Syphilis goes through several stages and can affect various organs and systems of the body.

  2. Gonorrhea: Caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae and affects the mucous membranes of the genitals, bladder and rectum. Gonorrhea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and cause serious complications, including infertility in both men and women.

  3. Chlamydia: Caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, it is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. Chlamydia can lead to inflammation of the genital organs, cervix, prostate and lead to infertility in women.

  4. Herpes simplex virus: Caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and is transmitted primarily through sexual contact. It appears as painful blisters and sores on the genitals and can cause recurrences throughout life.

  5. HIV/AIDS: The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), which weakens the body's immune system and makes a person more susceptible to other infections and tumors. HIV is transmitted through sexual contact, blood transmission, and transmission from mother to child during pregnancy or childbirth.

Prevention and timely treatment of sexually transmitted diseases are important measures to maintain public health. Here are some recommendations for preventing and controlling sexually transmitted diseases:

  1. Use condoms: Using condoms every time you have sex with a new partner can significantly reduce the risk of transmitting infections, including sexually transmitted diseases.

  2. Get regular medical checkups: Regular screening for sexually transmitted diseases can help in early detection and treatment. Early detection can prevent complications from developing and prevent transmission of the infection to others.

  3. Avoid sexual contact with infected partners: Knowing your partner's status and avoiding sexual contact with infected partners can help prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.

  4. Vaccination: Some sexually transmitted diseases, such as hepatitis B and HPV (human papillomavirus), can be prevented through vaccination. Talk to your doctor about getting the appropriate vaccine.

  5. Information and Education: It is important to educate yourself and others about the risks and methods of preventing sexually transmitted diseases. Greater dissemination of information about symptoms, diagnosis and treatment can help combat these diseases.

Sexually transmitted diseases remain a significant problem in society. It is important to take all necessary precautions and regularly monitor your health to prevent and control the spread of these infections.
