A condom does not protect 100%. against sexually transmitted disease. Therefore, even if you use it, you can get infected. The most important thing is to start treatment. Untreated STDs can cause infertility, disability and even death.
Condom – how to avoid sexually transmitted diseases?
The only way to avoid STIs is to stop having sexual contact altogether. However, this is neither healthy nor real, so you have to find another way out. Since they are often treatable diseases, it is best to seek medical attention if you become infected.
- Is sex still taboo?
STDs are an embarrassing problem. However, gynecologists, urologists and dermatologists emphasize that there is no reason to be ashamed. The disease can happen to anyone, regardless of the degree of promiscuity in someone’s sex life.
However, if you suspect the possibility of infection with intimate diseases, check it out. Order the urogenital package for intimate diseases – 14 pathogens. You can also purchase a STD test kit to test for HIV, trichomoniasis, mycosis and bacterial vaginosis.
Protection against venereal diseases
Condoms in the vast majority of cases increase protection against venereal disease. However, it should be remembered that they do not give 100%. protection. Certain sexually transmitted viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites can also be spread in other ways, such as by micro-abrasions during sexual contact, they can penetrate the skin or mucous membranes.
At Medonet Market you will find Skyn and Durex condoms that will reduce the risk of contracting STDs during sexual intercourse.
Genital warts – symptoms and treatment
Genital warts are skin-colored, sometimes pink, warts appearing around the genitals and anus. They can grow into “cauliflower” formations, sometimes the size of a walnut. The disease is caused by the human papillomavirus HPV.
Although the lesions are often painless, the disease must be treated as it may cause cancer. Both partners are most often treated. In addition to taking medications, the lumps can be removed by local freezing with liquid nitrogen, electrocoagulation, laser, or simply excised. Unfortunately, it happens that when immunity decreases, the virus, which is dormant in the body, attacks again.

Symptoms of syphilis
You can catch syphilis not only from sexual intercourse but also from kissing. The disease is caused by the pale spirochete bacterium. The first symptom is an ulceration of the place where the bacterium has entered the body for about 2 months – genitals, anus, mouth. We should not underestimate these types of symptoms, because it is the best time to start treatment.
Later, small, pustular changes appear, most often on the skin of the hands and feet. Lasting about a year. Then syphilis goes into the latent phase – asymptomatic. During this time, the bacteria attacks various parts of the body, forming tumors. The disease wreaks irreversible havoc on the nervous system, damages the liver, bones and joints, and damages the heart. It can cause paralysis and even death. It can be healed at all stages, but the damage it has caused cannot be repaired.

Gonorrhea and infertility
Burning sensation when urinating and purulent discharge from the penis or vaginal discharge in women – may be symptoms of gonorrhea. These symptoms persist for several weeks. In order to confirm the disease, the doctor may collect secretions from the urethra or cervix for examination. When gonorrhea is diagnosed and treated promptly, a complete recovery is usually achieved.
If treatment is delayed, men may develop urethritis and lead to infertility, epididymitis, and women may develop inflammation of the fallopian tubes, which also leads to infertility.

Vaginal trichomoniasis
Trichomoniasis is a protozoan that can be infected not only through sexual contact. It can also spread through wet bathing suits and towels. You can get it by sitting on the toilet or taking a bath. It experiences the secretions of a sick person in drops. Most often, however, it infects a man whose trichomonas lives on the genitals without causing any ailments.
The symptoms of the disease are sometimes difficult to see. In women, mostly yellow-green discharge and burning sensation, especially when urinating, in men, protozoa rarely causes inflammation of the urethra or prostate gland.
Do you want to perform a profiled examination, but are you ashamed to see a doctor? At Medonet Market you will find a mail order diagnostic test for gonorrhea. You will receive a smear collection kit with instructions. The results will be available within 7 business days.
Both partners should be treated. Patients are given a series of antibiotics, and it is also important to maintain proper personal hygiene.
