Why is it harder for women to diagnose sexually transmitted diseases than men? What are the hazards of sexually transmitted diseases to women

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) occur due to unclean sexual activity, promiscuity, or illegal sexual intercourse. STDs are infectious diseases and are often transmitted from person to person. Sexual activity between men, women, and the same sex is the most common. However, when diagnosing sexually transmitted diseases in clinical practice, women are more difficult to diagnose than men. Why is this? What harm can sexually transmitted diseases cause to women?

1. Multiple and severe comorbidities. Clinical data shows that female sexually transmitted diseases mainly occur in sexually active women of childbearing age, closely related to sexual activity, and can be accompanied by multiple pathogen invasions, often integrating multiple sexually transmitted diseases. Therefore, once a woman contracts a sexually transmitted disease, it is important to seek timely and formal diagnosis and treatment, and medication should be particularly standardized to strive for a complete cure without leaving any sequelae.

2. Contain the next generation. We know that women of childbearing age bear the heavy responsibility of having children. Once they suffer from sexually transmitted diseases, they are easily affected by the fetus in their womb, leading to miscarriage, congenital malformations, and even premature birth.

From another perspective, sexually transmitted diseases are a major killer of eugenics. The reason why most prostitutes in ancient and modern times were unable to conceive was the consequences of contracting sexually transmitted diseases.

Finally, it should be emphasized that some men who are sexually promiscuous boast that before sexual intercourse, they will check the female's external genitalia for any abnormalities, whether there are many vaginal discharge, whether the color of the vaginal discharge is normal, and they will also use their nose to sniff for any odors. Some women who are sexually promiscuous also boast that they check the male's appearance every time to see if there are any abnormalities. In fact, these methods of appearance, color, and smell are not very reliable; In fact, the incubation period of some sexually transmitted diseases can be as long as several months or even more than six months, so it is difficult to distinguish whether the female or male partner has sexually transmitted diseases solely based on intuitive methods.

In addition, regardless of the reason why the man has contracted sexually transmitted diseases, the woman must not ignore the possibility of infection due to anger or other reasons. In order to maintain health, she needs to take responsibility for herself.

During clinical visits, when the man has been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease, in order to avoid further cross infection after treatment and for the sake of the woman's physical health, the patient is required to notify their spouse or sexual partner to come to the hospital for examination and diagnosis. However, many women often do not follow the doctor's advice or cooperate with tests and examinations. The woman often tells me, 'I have no symptoms or any discomfort.', If you want to check and treat him, you can give him treatment. I don't need to check or test

If the man has been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease and the woman is also infected with the disease, and refuses to undergo examination, testing, diagnosis, or treatment, the consequences can be imagined. One of them can make the man's sexually transmitted disease difficult to cure and recurrent; Secondly, it can cause serious complications for the female partner, increase the difficulty of treatment, and may also lead to irreparable sequelae for the female partner.
