Sexual Health
What sexual behaviors increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases? Pay attention to these 5 points in preventing sexually transmitted diseases
Sexually transmitted diseases not only occur in the genitourinary organs, but also can invade lymph nodes through the Lymphatic system, seriously endangering the physical and mental health of patients. To prevent sexually transmitted diseases, we must first understand the Pathogen transmission, cut off the source of infection, and stay away from sexually transmitted diseases.
The main Pathogen transmission of sexually transmitted diseases are
1. Sexual transmission
The so-called sexual transmission mainly includes kissing, contact, hugging, sexual intercourse, etc. Sexual intercourse is the main Pathogen transmission of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. The reasons for the spread of sexually transmitted diseases caused by sexual intercourse are as follows: 1. Direct contact of the genitalia with pathogens. 2. Both sexual partners' genitals are in a congested state, and increased pressure within the tissue can easily cause damage.
2. Indirect contact transmission
When a healthy person's skin is damaged and comes into contact with the erosion and ulcer surface of a sexually transmitted disease patient's lesion, the pathogen directly invades the infection from the damaged skin. Contact with clothing, blankets, and other tools of sexually transmitted disease patients can also lead to infection. This is because these items are contaminated with bacterial secretions.
3. Transmission of blood or blood products
For example, syphilis, AIDS, gonorrhea, etc. can all cause pathogen blood. If the recipient receives such blood, it can cause transmissible infection. In addition, the infection is characterized by high incidence rate, rapid onset and severe systemic symptoms.
4. Mother child transmission
It refers to the transmission from the mother to the fetus through the placenta.
5. Transmission through organ transplantation, artificial insemination, etc
This situation mainly occurs in doctors and nurses. Due to lax protection, incomplete disinfection, and failure to kill pathogens, the use of infectious equipment can infect others.
Methods for preventing sexually transmitted diseases
1. Avoiding certain sexual behaviors such as oral sex and anal crossing can increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Take anal sex for example, rectal epithelium is usually softer than Vaginal epithelium, and anal sex is more likely to damage mucosa and cause infection than vaginal sex. Some infectious diseases are transmitted through the oral and fecal channels, which can avoid anal or anal sexual behavior and reduce the chances of transmission of this disease.
2. The barrier tool is used together with Spermicide: the penis sleeve and uterine cap using Spermicide as lubricant have both mechanical and chemical spermicidal effects. The Contraceptive sponge made of Spermicide and sponge is very popular abroad. Before sexual activity or during sexual intercourse, it can be placed in the vagina for at least 30 hours.
