Sexaully Transimitted Disease
by Jon Gammon
Syphilis can be a devastating disease, and it has made its
presence known in the STD world. At least 50,000 cases of syphilis occur every
year, and I believe I more go unreported and untreated. Syphilis is a bacterial
infection passed on through sex that causes sores and rashes. If left untreated,
it can cause serious problems in the long run. Chlamydia is the most common of
all the STD's, and it often produces no symptoms and one usually doesn't even
know they have it, until it is too late. When Chlamydia goes untreated, in males
it is nothing more that an irritation, but in Women, it can be devastating. If
the disease spreads into the reproduction anatomy, it can cause PID (Pelvic
Inflammatory Disease) which can cause infertility or ectopic pregnancies (when
the fertilized egg develops in the fallopian tubes) this is very dangerous and
if it happens can rupture the tubes and cause serious damage even death.
Crabs is a nasty infestation of Pubic Lice. The thing is, it is really not a
STD. The can be transmitted by all sorts of physical contact. Crabs love hair,
your scalp, underarms, chest, mustache, and pubic and if you have hair, they
will find it. The first symptoms are a horrible itch, and with closer
examination will find pimple-like bumps or a red rash. When you closely examine
the hair, the sure sign way to notice if you have crabs are the eggs attached to
the pubic hair very close to the skin.
Gonorrhea is commonly referred to as the clap, is a bacterial infection passed
during sex. Symptoms appear in as little as 3 days, and cause a yellow discharge
from the penis, painful urination, and swelling of the penis head. In women can
cause PID and sterility, and worse than that, can cause blindness in babies that
are born with women infected by the disease. Genital herpes was the sexual
plague before the on-threat of the AIDS virus. This is a highly contagious,
incurable, sexually transmitted virus that has infected millions of people, and
claims more victims each year. Symptoms are a tingling and inching at the site
of infection. Soon the infected area has painful ulcerated sores that heal in
about 3 weeks. AIDS is the deadly disease of the 20th century. It is the number
one killer of people ages 25-44, 80% of all AIDS victims are men, and it has
claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of lives each year. AIDS attacks the
bodies' immune system, making the body to more likely develop other diseases
like pneumonia, tuberculosis, and even some rare cancers like Karposi's Sarcoma.
