Are STD’s Curable?
Sexually transmitted diseases can be some of the most uncomfortable, annoying things a person can get. Especially because it comes from such a personal and intimate situation, discussing these things with someone who can help to treat it can be an intimidating process. If you suspect that you may have a sexually transmitted disease, it is likely that you have many questions: Which disease do I have? Is it curable? What am I going to do now? By learning a little bit of general information about the nature, development, treatment, and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (often referred to as STDs), you can save yourself a lot of heartache.
Our world is becoming more and more open to sexual activity, and traditional behaviors and beliefs are taking a backseat to more recently formed ideas.
Whether or not it is because of this change in mindset, the recorded amount of people diagnosed with sexually transmitted diseases has greatly increased. There is great danger in having unprotected sex, and once you have contracted a sexually transmitted disease, you then have to deal with a number of uncomfortable consequences.
There are a lot of different kinds of STDs, and each runs an individual course. Some are curable. Some can easily be treated. Some are easily passed on, and others may not show their faces for some time after you actually contract them. To help you see the variety of STDs out there a little bit better, consider the following information:
Gonorrhea is a bacterial STD that can sometimes remain unnoticed for quite some time. Genital Warts (also known as the HPV – human papilloma virus) is one that will definitely be noticed, but cannot be cured. The symptoms that stem from this infirmity can be controlled, however.
Chlamydia is possibly the most common STD contracted by sexually active people. Some of the symptoms include pain during intercourse, as well as abnormal discharge from the individual’s sexual organs. However, Chlamydia is a disease that can be treated, and cured, if dealt with appropriately.
One of the most dangerous, incurable STDs, however, is AIDS/HIV. This disease is transmitted through semen, vaginal secretion, blood, and breast milk, and can actually be deadly. Its progress can be monitored and somewhat controlled, but a cure is yet to be found for this disease.
By being aware of the sexual health of yourself and your partner, as well as ways to protect each other from possible harm is a great way to avoid problems with these sexual diseases.
Question by : Can you get STD symptoms the day after sex?
had sex with this girl, was kinda rough, the condom broke at some point towards the end either a bit before or at the end when i came (i pulled out), got her the morning after pill just in case so not worried about that, but this morning i woke up and saw i had a small redness area on the bottom of my penis. just wondering if this is an std or if its from the “kinda rough” sex as i put it earlier.

pehaps, some others take up to 4 weeks before they show. You’d be best to either wait and be alert of what to look out for or get yourself down to a GUM clinic, which you should do anyways since you are sexually active to keep up to date on your sexual health… they’d take a urine sample, maybe a swab, look, seamen and if the worse is suspected a blood test.. i thiknk this is not a lot, and less invasive than for women, so keep checked up, as your health is the most important thing!
Note that: some people has STIs yet never show any symptoms, so you could or she could have one already without knowing!
I seriuously advise you getting checked out, otherwise it will be on your mind x
