The Most Common Sexually Transmitted Diseases In Virginia And How To Recognize Roanoke STD Symptoms

By George Kelly


Even a person who has had only one sexual partner can be at risk for a sexually transmitted disease. It is not just a problem for young people. Older adults are not immune to the problem. Even though most people understand the risks, these behaviors are discussed in length in most public schools, many mistakenly believe it won't happen to them and are not on the lookout for the type of Roanoke STD symptoms Virginians and others exhibit every day.

The human papilloma virus is rampant among sexually active people. Studies report that an astonishing three quarters of these individuals have been affected by the condition. It is spread by genital contact, which can include oral sex. Warts in the genital area and the throat are the most common signs of this disease, but they often do not manifest themselves until it is in advanced stages.

Over the years people have joked about herpes, but for the people who have it, it's no laughing matter. Antibiotics can reduce the disease to a dormant stage, but they do not cure it, and the active signs tend to flare up periodically. Lesions in the mouth and on the genitals are good signs of herpes, especially if they cause pain. Scientists know skin to skin contact can cause transmission whether or not the disease is in an active stage.

There are currently more cases of chlamydia than any other sexually transmitted disease. A lot of people have it for years without knowing. Painful intercourse and unusual discharge are the most common signs. This disease can be cured, and it can certainly be prevented. Using condoms is effective and recommended.

Not everyone thinks of hepatitis B as a sexually transmitted disease, but that is one way to get it. This form of hepatitis is very serious and ignoring the signs can result in liver damage, liver cancer, and death. The most common indications of this condition are feeling constantly tired and jaundice, which is a yellowing of the complexion and whites of the eyes.

When most people hear the terms gonorrhea and syphilis they think about people who lived hundreds of years ago and ended up going mad and dying from these diseases. Unfortunately, too many people are still contracting them today. There are almost a million new cases of gonorrhea itself each year. This condition is spread through all types of sexual contact and has subtle signs which can include burning during urination.

Signs of syphilis include skin rashes, hair loss, and fever. This is a bacterial infection that can also show up as mouth and genital sores. Mothers can give it to a child in the womb. Using condoms is the best protection against the disease.

Sexually active individuals have to take responsibility for themselves and the partners they are intimate with. Practicing safe sex is the best way to accomplish this. Knowing the signs and contacting a doctor promptly for treatment, if exposed, is the second best.
