Five major ways sexually transmitted diseases are spread

While everyone is keeping themselves clean, they should also develop good habits in life. In this way, you can not only stay away from sexually transmitted diseases, but also stay away from other diseases.

Sexually transmitted diseases are one of the diseases that everyone hates. If someone has a sexually transmitted disease, everyone will think that he or she is not chaste. Men will be said to be frequenting promiscuous places, and women will be said to be fickle. It can be seen that the public opinion power brought by sexually transmitted diseases is quite strong. Many people think that sexually transmitted diseases are only transmitted through sexual behavior, and as long as they keep themselves clean, they can stay away from sexually transmitted diseases. However, what I want to tell you is that sexual intercourse is not the only way to spread sexually transmitted diseases. There are many other ways to spread sexually transmitted diseases. Now, let’s learn about how STDs are spread.

Transmission routes of sexually transmitted diseases:

1. Transmission through sexual behavior: The so-called sexual behavior mainly includes kissing, touching, hugging, sexual intercourse, etc. Sexual intercourse is the main route of transmission of transmissible diseases. There are several reasons why sexual intercourse can cause the spread of sexually transmitted diseases: 1. Direct contact of the genitals with pathogens. 2. The genitals of both parties in sexual intercourse are in a state of congestion, and the increased pressure in the tissues makes it easy for injuries to occur.

2. Indirect contact transmission: Non-sexual contact transmission between people is relatively rare. However, some sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea, trichomoniasis and fungal infections, can be transmitted through towels, bathtubs, clothing and other items. Transmission through indirect contact often occurs, especially in areas with poor economic conditions and low sanitation levels.

3. Blood-borne transmission: Syphilis, AIDS, and gonorrhea can all cause pathogenic blood. If the recipient receives such blood, sexual infection may occur. Hematogenous infection has the following characteristics: high incidence, rapid onset, can span the course of the disease, occurs disseminated lesions, and has severe systemic symptoms.

4. Mother-to-child transmission: transmitted to the fetus through the placenta. Syphilis and AIDS often have the risk of being transmitted from mother to child. There are three ways of mother-to-child transmission of sexually transmitted diseases: the first is primary infection; the second is retrograde infection; and the third is acquired infection.

5. Medical-induced transmission: Mainly caused by the following reasons: 1. Inadequate protection, which mainly occurs among doctors and nurses. 2. Disinfection is not strict. Check the instruments used by patients. After use, they should be soaked and sterilized, rinsed repeatedly, and then sterilized under high pressure. If disinfection is not strict, the pathogens are not killed and can infect other people when used again.

Among all the transmission routes of STDs, sexual transmission accounts for the largest proportion. Approximately 90% of people in the world contract various STDs through sexual transmission. The second is direct contact, and the last is indirect contact.

However, don't focus all your prevention efforts on sexual intercourse or direct sexual contact; indirect sexual contact is the most difficult to guard against. Why would you get a sexually transmitted disease if you only have a single sexual partner, neither of you has any sexually transmitted diseases, and you don't have any friends with sexually transmitted diseases? In fact, many of them are caused by indirect sexual contact. If, in a hotel, you use towels, toothbrushes and washbasins that have been used by patients with sexually transmitted diseases, and the hotel staff do not clean them properly, then there is a chance of contracting a sexually transmitted disease.

People who suffer from sexually transmitted diseases should also pay special attention to their family life. If you are not careful, you may indirectly pass the sexually transmitted diseases to your children. There was also a case where a little girl was diagnosed with non-gonococcal gonorrhea when she was only 11 years old. Later it was discovered that it was because her mother was a sexually transmitted disease patient and they shared a washbasin, which was passed on to her daughter. Therefore, we should not only be clean in our sexual behavior, but also be clean in our daily lives, so that we can prevent sexually transmitted diseases more effectively.

Warm reminder: Therefore, while everyone should keep themselves clean, they should also develop good habits in life. In this way, you can not only stay away from sexually transmitted diseases, but also stay away from other diseases. In addition, it is important to remind you that patients with sexually transmitted diseases should also pay attention to their living habits and not let others use the things they use, otherwise it will be easy to spread the disease to relatives and friends.
