How to care for sexually transmitted diseases

Many patients with venereal diseases neglect self-care in life, resulting in poor treatment effects, even becoming chronic, or causing complications. So, what should you pay attention to after contracting an STD?

1. Quit drinking

Drinking alcohol is a taboo for patients with sexually transmitted diseases. Drinking alcohol will weaken the body's resistance, promote the aggravation and spread of inflammation, cause sexually transmitted diseases to become chronic or cause prostatitis, epididymitis and other complications. Drinking alcohol is also an important reason for the recurrence of sexually transmitted diseases.

2. Taboos

After suffering from sexually transmitted diseases, it is not advisable to eat spicy and irritating foods, such as peppers, ginger, and drink strong tea, strong coffee, etc. Exciting foods can cause tissue congestion and aggravate inflammatory reactions. In addition, cattle, sheep, dogs, and rooster meat should not be eaten.

3. Pure heart

After contracting an STD, you should keep a calm mind and avoid getting angry or worried. People's emotions are closely related to diseases and the body's immunity. When the mood is bad, the body's immunity decreases, making it easier to contract infectious diseases or aggravate the condition of existing diseases.

4. Few desires

When sexually transmitted diseases are not cured, sexual life should be prohibited. Sexual intercourse can cause mechanical damage to the urethra and aggravate the condition. Sexually transmitted diseases are highly contagious, and sexual intercourse can lead to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and endanger the health of others.

　5, nutrition

Patients with chronic STDs should pay attention to nutritional supplements. Milk, eggs, fish, pork, and soy products are rich in protein and other nutrients, which can help tissue repair, enhance the body's immunity, and promote body recovery. In addition, attention should be paid to supplementing vitamins and trace elements. When suffering from acute sexually transmitted diseases, you can take vitamin C, because vitamin C can enhance immunity and fight inflammation.

6. Rest

After contracting a sexually transmitted disease, you should pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion. Overexertion leads to the aggravation or recurrence of sexually transmitted diseases, which is clinically not uncommon. Patients with acute gonorrhea, non-gonorrhea, prostatitis, epididymitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease should all rest in bed. Patients with chronic sexually transmitted diseases should avoid staying up late, working or entertaining all night, otherwise it will seriously affect the treatment effect and delay the recovery of the disease.

7. Disease prevention

A phenomenon often seen in life is that when a patient has a high fever, a string of blisters often appear on the lips. In fact, this is the herpes simplex virus lurking in the body. When the body's immunity is reduced due to illness, it will cause trouble. Being sick will weaken the body's immunity, causing the original STD to relapse or worsen. Genital herpes, genital warts, etc. are easy to relapse under the stimulation of systemic or local inflammation; diseases such as diabetes and AIDS can aggravate the original sexually transmitted diseases. Repeated STD infections can push STDs to the edge of incurability. Therefore, after contracting an STD, attention should be paid to disease prevention and active treatment of other diseases in the body, and special attention should be paid to avoiding reinfection of STDs.
