Wags joked: "All diseases of the nerves and only venereal - love". However, in recent times you can hear that genital infections now are revealed not only in people, like a glove changing sexual partners, but faithful spouses, never thought about cheating, and even the innocent children and the elderly are not interested in sexual matters.
About sexually transmitted diseases, wears a lot of rumors, but not all so terrible and hopeless. Our expert gynecologist-endocrinologist Tatiana Ignatova.
Myth # 1: Infection awaits us everywhere
They say that the pool swim Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma, on the rails in the transport sitting hordes of causative agents of syphilis and ill chlamydia family member will infect all the others, including the grandmother and baby.
Actually: the probability of catching the infection is very small. The vast majority of pathogens of various infections is poorly adapted to life on air or in a chlorinated pool water. Their concentration outside the human body, so small that, even if harmful bacteria will get to you, it will not cause outbreaks of infection in your body.
What to do:
a small risk of Contracting domestic way. Therefore, women do not need to visit the pool and beach during the days of menstruation or during illness when the immune system is weakened and the body is particularly vulnerable. You cannot use other people's towels and linen. And at home, be sure to wash your hands, it will protect not only from sex, but from all other infections.
Myth # 2: to Recover completely impossible
They say that sexually transmitted diseases can only "damp", but to get rid of them forever impossible. It will aggravate and embitter.
Actually: Yes and no. There are diseases that can be cured completely. For example, syphilis and gonorrhea. There are diseases, pathogens which are part of our own microflora. Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Gardnerella - they are all hidden, opportunistic infections and become hazardous only in case of too rapid reproduction. And there are a number of viruses (herpes, human papillomavirus, cytomegalovirus), who picked up, you will not be hurt. To get rid of them permanently is really impossible, but modern medicine can enter them in the "sleeping" state in which they are not present to us a threat.
What to do: not to start trouble, consult a doctor at the first sign of discomfort, not to neglect preventive examinations.
Myth # 3: Tests are never 100% accurate
It is said that no analysis can not give an exact answer to the question, there is disease in the body or not. And so to interpret the results of studies by different doctors may have different: some will say that the man is ill, others that everything is normal.
Actually: using PCR (polymerase chain reaction) can definitely detect the presence of the genome of bacteria in the body. For conditionally pathogenic microorganisms, a positive response is the norm. In order to determine whether not too it is multiplied harmful microbes carry out sowing in a special environment, and is already on its results, the doctor makes a conclusion about the state of health of the patient. To detect some infections and did enough to take the woman scraping the mucous and examine it under the microscope.
What to do in any city there are several major laboratories in which commercial and public hospitals do analyses. Taking them in the institution, not conducting their research, you risk to pay more and wait longer. Better to find out what laboratory cooperates your clinic, and turn right there.
Myth # 4: the Treatment is very expensive
They say that the fight against sexually transmitted diseases, not only a very long and complicated, but also very expensive process.
Actually:
expensive tests. And the treatment itself, compared with the cost of studies, often costs pennies and takes much time. If the infection is chronic, gonorrhea can be treated by one injection, and to combat chlamydia, Miko - and a Ureaplasma, and Trichomonas need from one day to one week.
What to do:
to get rid of a bacterial infection is usually enough of a single antibiotic. In the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, there is no need for additional physical treatments (laser, magnetotherapy and others). It is absolutely useless various methods of alternative medicine. The bacterial infection is treated with antibiotics - no herbs, Supplements, homeopathic remedies and folk medicine to get rid of the infection will not help.
Myth # 5: Most doctors fraud
Rumor has it that doctors have become so selfish that do not cure, but only trying to "rip off" with patients more money. They are all new and new challenges, forcing us to do a lot of tests or "eliminate" nonexistent diseases.
Actually:
unfortunately, some doctors really do. But often they are assisted in this by the patient who considers that effective can only be a long and expensive treatment.
What to do:
try to listen to the following tips.
1. Do not call a doctor from the clinic where you have never been. How can you trust your life and health to the people about whom you know nothing?
2. If you first contacted the hospital, look at the license. It hung in the lobby. It must be original or certified copy (all other options are fake). Please note that not expired if the document does he treatment for your profile.
3. Compare the name of the medical institution specified in the license and in advertising. Sometimes ads are listed untwisted global brands, and in fact, the clinic does not have anything to do with them.
4. Make sure that you have opened an outpatient (or stationary) medical card, where legibly and accurately lists all your data. (For example, if the name will record an error, the court then it will be impossible to prove that wrong treated you.)
5. Carefully read the contract in part of the obligations. (Sometimes clinics disclaim any liability for errors, so in court with them and then not ask for that.)
6. The doctor should legibly write your name on the card, then his identity.
7. Medical findings should be described in detail the condition of the patient upon admission to the hospital, the treatment process, the status of his health. And below must bear the seal and signature of the chief physician or person replacing him (sometimes it is the clinic Director).
In the first six months of close relations with a new partner should use a condom. Even if your other half do not worry, this does not mean that he is healthy. People can be infected person, then symptoms will not occur, but "sleeping" infection and Wake up. When suspicious allocations seek medical attention immediately.
If security concerns you have attended to after a wild night out, after a while you should be tested for the most common diseases.
For most infections the incubation period (from the moment of infection until the development of the disease) ranges from 7 to 14 days. Before this time to take the test useless. For syphilis between infection and the appearance of the first symptoms is held from 3 to 6 weeks. For hepatitis and HIV this period is up to six months.
Love each of us can deny mind, but even better when the hottest feelings not to lose their heads.
