Not all genital diseases are sexually transmitted diseases

　　Seeing a doctor when you are sick should be an honest matter. However, people who discover something unusual about their vagina often wish they had better be able to fix the problem on their own. In addition to thinking that privacy is always better not to be "exposed", there is another thing that makes them feel most shameful, and they doubt that they have it. sexually transmitted diseases . The general public has a certain understanding of sexually transmitted diseases. Once it occurs in the genital area disease , know how to be vigilant, this is a good thing. However, abnormalities in the genital area such as increased leucorrhea, stiff and itchy vagina, sores on the vagina, urethral discharge, etc. are often also skin division, Gynecology Or urological diseases, not necessarily sexually transmitted diseases. A considerable number of people are overly sensitive to sexually transmitted diseases, to the point where they are like "every tree and grass are in danger". As soon as there are abnormal sensations or manifestations in the vagina, people become suspicious and avoid medical treatment. They either buy medicine secretly and treat it themselves, or go to quack doctors everywhere. As a result, "both people and money are harmed" and there is no way to complain. Below, let’s analyze the vulva abnormalities that often cause panic among patients:

　　Abnormal leucorrhea

　　Under normal circumstances, the amount of leucorrhea secreted varies from person to person and from time to time. Physiological leucorrhea is colorless, looks like egg white, and is slightly sticky. It usually increases before and after menstruation, during pregnancy, and during sexual excitement. Gonorrhea among sexually transmitted diseases, caused by Chlamydia trachomatis infection Cervicitis , often manifested as increased leucorrhea, mucopurulent. suffer from Vaginitis Sometimes, leucorrhea will also increase. Its color, shape, and smell may change, or it may be white curd-like, yellow-green foamy, uniform milk-like, or have a fishy smell. These abnormalities are caused by fungal, trichomonas, and bacterial infections. They are common diseases among women and are not sexually transmitted diseases.

　　Itching of the vagina

　　Sexually transmitted diseases such as pubic lice can cause genital itching, but when itching of the genitals, you should consider more general skin diseases rather than sexually transmitted diseases. Fungal infection of the vulva is the most common cause of local itching. If it occurs on the vulva, the patient will not only feel itching, but may also find redness of the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva. Men with excessive foreskin are particularly prone to fungal balanitis. Erosive balanitis caused by Fensen microbial infection often makes patients itchy and uncomfortable. At the same time, the foreskin is slightly swollen and accompanied by purulent material. If the foreskin is turned over and the secretions are wiped off, the surface of the mucous membrane of the glans of the foreskin is red and there are some superficial erosions. In addition; the external resistance part eczema and neurodermatitis (common in scrotal skin), are all skin diseases characterized by itching. scabies It can also cause mirage, a skin disease caused by strange parasites that can be spread through sexual contact. But in our country, scabies is often spread through general direct or indirect contact. It can occur not only in the genitals, but also in other parts of the body. In places where people live together and have poor sanitary conditions, scabies is very common and is not a sexually transmitted disease.

　　Sores on the vagina”

　　This generally refers to ulcerative or non-ulcerative damage to the vulva. This certainly requires consideration of sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis, genital scars and genital warts, but it cannot be generalized. Many people will develop drug rash after taking certain medicines, and it will be fixed in the genital area. This is because they are allergic to this medicine. In addition, irritation from topical drugs, vaginal suppositories, deodorants, contraceptive tools, soaps, etc. can cause some people to develop contact dermatitis in the genital area. There is an acute vulvar ulcer that occurs in young women. The patient develops one or several painful ulcers on the vulva. Its cause is unknown, but it is not a sexually transmitted disease.

　　The triad of mouth, external genitalia, and eyes is a systemic disease. In addition to genital ulcers, there are also oral and eye damage, and even cardiovascular, skeletal, skin, neurological, and gastrointestinal symptoms. It is not a sexually transmitted disease. Urethral pus discharge If men have urinary tract discharge and painful urination, especially after sexual contact, they should consider gonorrhea and Chlamydia trachomatis infections. These are currently more common sexually transmitted diseases in my country. Of course, non-STD urethritis and prostatitis can also cause urethral pus discharge.

　　In addition, even though STDs and non-STDs have similar clinical manifestations, there is one significant difference: the former is an infectious disease and is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, while the latter does not have this characteristic. Patients with abnormal vaginal conditions, if they are not having a romantic relationship, generally do not need to lose half of their penis first, and may wish to openly tell the doctor about their condition; those with a history of suspicious sexual contact should go to a regular hospital for examination, and do not make blind diagnoses and treatments on their own. Nowadays, doctors in regular hospitals generally adhere to "strict" standards for diagnosing STDs and will not label patients with STDs casually. Moreover, patients are given a separate space during diagnosis and treatment so that they are not disturbed and their privacy is protected. Therefore, patients with genital diseases are asked to put down their psychological burdens, bravely step into the hospital door, and receive correct treatment as soon as possible.
