Three major personal protective measures against STDs

　　According to statistics, about 4 people in the world are infected every second sexually transmitted diseases , about 250 million people around the world are infected with gonorrhea every year, and 50 million people are infected with syphilis. Gonorrhea is second only to epidemic diseases among infectious diseases. cold And ranked second. Then take the popular AIDS For example, in just 7 years from June 1981, when the first case was discovered in Los Angeles, to November 1988, 142 countries and regions in the world had reported approximately 130,000 AIDS patients to the World Health Organization. In sub-Saharan African countries, the HIV infection rate among sexually active young adults has exceeded 30%.

　　Experts predict that the population of these countries will decrease by more than half by the end of the 21st century. The prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases in China is also increasing year by year. As the number of STD patients continues to increase, personal protection against STDs becomes particularly important.

　　In STD clinics, it is often found that many patients do not understand the transmission routes and prevention methods of STDs, resulting in some people not knowing where the disease comes from after contracting STDs; and because they do not understand prevention methods, STDs spread within the family, making it difficult for their spouses and children to survive. Some families even disintegrate because of this, causing instability in the family and society. Therefore, it is very important to understand the transmission routes and preventive measures of STDs.

　　1. Home isolation and disinfection

　　If any family members have sexually transmitted diseases, they should be strictly isolated. Separate rooms and beds, separate toilets, tableware and drinking utensils; the patient's underwear and underwear should be washed separately. Before washing, it is best to boil or disinfect with disinfectant (such as disinfectant, high-sensitivity iodine, etc.), or soak in saturated salt water for disinfection. Develop good hygiene habits and wash your hands before going to the toilet.

　　Pay attention to vaginal hygiene. You can wash it with warm water or saline once a night to keep your vagina clean. Family members, especially spouses, who are in close contact with STD patients should be reminded to go to STD prevention and treatment centers for examination and treatment so that they can be discovered in time and nip in the bud. We should pay attention to protect our children from it, especially young children who need the care of patients. They should be isolated and prepare a special set of tools for cleaning the vulva for their children.

　　specialist Hospital Experts say that as the number of STD patients continues to increase, STDs are becoming more common among children. Therefore, for the next generation healthy Growing up, it is urgent to put an end to the spread of STDs and prevent STDs in children. To do this, we must first know how children are infected with STDs. There are three ways to infect children with STDs: First, mother-to-child transmission, including Uterus spread within. For example, syphilis pathogens can invade the placenta through the blood, causing fetus Infected; the fetus is infected when passing through the birth canal, suffering from neonatal gonococcal conjunctivitis, etc. In addition, infection through close contact with the sick mother, such as gonococcal vulvitis , genital warts, etc. The second is indirect transmission within families. It is common for parents suffering from gonorrhea to share the same bed, bath, or daily necessities with their children. The third is social transmission. Child care workers in nurseries and kindergartens or children in the same class who have the disease can spread it to healthy children through contact with contaminated items. It can also be infected in public places such as baths, swimming pools, and hotels.
