　　6 ways for men to prevent STDs

　　1. Use shielding tools: Tools such as condoms and vaginal diaphragms can not only prevent pregnancy, but also prevent many sexually transmitted diseases. Experiments have proven that condoms have a barrier effect on pathogens that cause sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, genital warts, AIDS, giant cell inclusion disease, and chlamydial infection. In addition, condoms and diaphragms reduce frictional injuries during intercourse and protect the external genitalia from contact with hidden infectious secretions.

　　2. Use barrier tools in combination with spermicide: Use a condom lubricated with spermicide, Uterus cap, which has both mechanical and chemical killing effects. There is a kind of contraceptive sponge made of spermicide and sponge that is very popular abroad. It is inserted into the vagina before or during sexual intercourse and can be left in place for more than 30 hours.

　　3. Avoid sexual intercourse when there are abnormalities: When a sexual partner is found to have lesions, ulcers or abnormal discharge on his external genitalia, he should avoid sexual intercourse and ask him to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

　　4. Keep yourself clean: This is a very safe and easy prevention method. Many STDs are often asymptomatic in their early or mild stages, such as gonorrhea, genital herpes, genital warts, non-gonococcal urethritis, AIDS, etc., and cannot be identified in time after infection. Only by staying clean and avoiding extramarital sex can you avoid the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.

Because the rectal epithelium is usually more delicate than the vaginal epithelium, anal intercourse is more likely to damage the mucosa and cause infection than vaginal intercourse. Some infectious diseases are transmitted through the oral-fecal route, so avoiding oral-anal or finger-anal sex can reduce the risk of such infections. disease chance of infection.
