Will wearing a condom prevent infectious diseases? Ten misunderstandings about sexually transmitted diseases

　　Many people do oral sex without getting infected sexually transmitted diseases , peeing immediately after sex will keep you away from sexually transmitted diseases. In fact, these are wrong ideas. Let’s take a look at some misconceptions about STDs.

Therefore, urinating immediately after sexual intercourse has limited effect on preventing STDs. but female Patients urinate after sexual intercourse to empty the bladder of bacteria, which can prevent acute cystitis.

　　8. Blood from the blood donation center is absolutely safe, and there is no need to worry about contracting sexually transmitted diseases.

　　Most sexually transmitted diseases have an impact on offspring. Syphilis or non-gonococcal urethritis pathogens can be passed to the fetus through the placenta, leading to miscarriage, premature birth , embryonic death, congenital malformations, fetal-transmitted syphilis; Chlamydia trachomatis can cause intrauterine growth retardation; spontaneous abortion is mainly related to gonorrhea, mycoplasma or herpes simplex virus; gonorrhea can cause neonatal gonorrhea, resulting in the birth of defective newborns, and can also cause neonatal ophthalmia leading to blindness.
