How can a woman tell if she has an STD?
1. Symptoms of female STDs
The problem of female STDs has attracted more and more attention from female compatriots. Now the ratio of male and female STD patients has reached 1.4:1. Due to the increase in male diseases, The characteristics are more obvious, while the characteristics of female diseases usually have no special manifestations, so the best time for diagnosis and treatment is often delayed, and the condition is delayed. Here are six signs of female diseases for your reference.
Signs 1. Increased leucorrhea, which is yellow or green pus, is often accompanied by pain during urination, increased urination frequency, and sometimes inability to hold urine.
Tip: Gonorrhea
It is worth reminding that some women may be asymptomatic or have mild symptoms after being infected with gonorrhea, which often delays treatment. Most male gonorrhea patients have obvious symptoms, and gonorrhea is more easily passed from male to female than from female to male. If a woman has sexual contact without a condom with a man who has gonorrhea, her chance of becoming infected is 40-60%. Therefore, women should learn to protect themselves and avoid sexual contact with men with gonorrhea symptoms. If risky sexual behavior has occurred, even if the woman has no symptoms, she should go to the hospital for examination to get early diagnosis and treatment.
Sign 2. Increased leucorrhea, which is like tofu dregs, white, agglomerated, and significantly increased in quantity. It is often accompanied by internal and external itching, which is often very intense.
Tip: Candida (fungus) female private parts inflammation
This disease can be transmitted to each other through sexual intercourse, so it is a sexually transmitted disease in a broad sense. Different from other sexually transmitted diseases, candidal female private parts inflammation is a very common inflammation of female private parts. 75% of women will suffer from it once in their lifetime, and 40-50% will have more than two attacks. Judging from the age of onset, the most common age is the sexually active period around 20 years old, and the lowest incidence rate is over 50 years old. Some women are infected through ways other than unclean sex: if they do not pay attention to the cleaning of the vulva or use unclean toilet paper and sanitary napkins; extensive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics kills the normal bacteria in the female private parts, leading to bacterial flora imbalance, and some It is conducive to the growth of disease-causing fungi; diabetic patients are susceptible to candida vaginitis due to high blood sugar levels.
Sign 3. The vulva is extremely itchy, the leucorrhea increases, there may be foam, and there is often yellow liquid on the underwear.
Tip: Trichomonas female private genitalitis
This disease can also be transmitted to each other through sexual intercourse and is a sexually transmitted disease in a broad sense. Generally, women suffer more from trichomonas female private parts inflammation, mainly due to the destruction of the natural acidic environment of women's private parts. However, men are less likely to be infected, and most of them are asymptomatic.
Sign 4. There are ulcers on the genital surface. It usually manifests as a mirage major or an induration of about 1 cm in diameter on the inner side of the labia minora, with mild ulceration on the surface. Women often don't feel any discomfort and the ulcer disappears in about a month.
Tip: Early (first stage) syphilis
This kind of ulcer is what is called "hard chancre" in medicine, and is a special manifestation of early syphilis. There are a large number of pathogens on the surface of the chancre, and the probability of infection after contact is extremely high. However, because it disappears automatically and is not painful or itchy, women and sexual partners often do not pay attention to it.
Sign 5. There are many red spots on the body. The color is relatively dark. You need to look carefully to find them. They are not itchy.
Tip: Secondary syphilis
Generally, if the hard chancre of syphilis is not treated in time, it will develop into secondary syphilis. The most typical ones are dark red spots that appear on the palms and soles of the feet, and there may also be peeling skin around them. If it is not detected and treated in time at this time, syphilis will develop to an advanced stage, involving multiple organs throughout the body, making treatment difficult, prolonging the course of the disease, and even life-threatening. Moreover, if pregnant women infected with syphilis are not treated in time, the disease will be transmitted to the fetus, so they need to be paid special attention to.
Sign 6. Small cauliflower-like or jagged-shaped creatures appear around the female private parts. There is no pain when touched, and there is no feeling at all.
Tip: Condyloma acuminata
The epidermis of this growth is not red, but is often gray-white or the color of the skin. If left alone, the growths will grow bigger and more numerous, and can fill up the female private parts or even block the female private parts. This feature can be used to identify pseudogenital warts in women. Pseudocondyloma will not grow or increase in number and is not contagious. As long as you pay attention to cleaning and reduce the local stimulation of leucorrhea, the symptoms can be alleviated and no treatment is required.
2. How to prevent sexually transmitted diseases

Wash your hands before sex to prevent sexually transmitted diseases
In life, many couples do this before going to bed If you don't have the habit of washing your hands, you may have sexually transmitted diseases on your hands if you read sexual newspapers or counted money before, and you may touch your own or your partner's sexual organs with your hands during sex. In this way, both spouses may become victims of STDs. Genital warts among sexually transmitted diseases are recognized as second-generation sexually transmitted diseases.
This disease is caused by the human papilloma virus. The lesions often occur at the junction of the skin and mucous membranes of the genitals, such as the coronal sulcus of the penis, around the female vulva, the labia majora and minora, and the female private parts. They appear in clusters. It is shaped, flat, verrucous, bumpy, nipple-like, comb-like or cauliflower-like protrusions. Patients often come to see a doctor because of vulvar itching or small growths they touch.
Some experts believe that the scope of contamination caused by this virus far exceeds that of hepatitis B virus. When people go to the hotel to meet guests, push the glass door, ring the doorbell, press the elevator switch, shake hands with others, and carefully read the business card handed by the other party, they can get the virus on their hands. Especially when you turn on and off the faucet in the toilet, you may be infected with many sexually transmitted diseases.
The handrails on buses, telephones, banknotes, newspapers and periodicals on buses, etc. can all contain the pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases. If you go to bed and have sex without washing your hands, the potential dangers are clear.
It is particularly worth mentioning that women’s private parts are warm and moist, making them an ideal paradise for sexually transmitted disease pathogens. Once they settle here, they will quickly set up camp and reproduce.
Therefore, you must wash your hands before having sex to avoid inoculating sexually transmitted disease pathogens into yourself or the other party’s sexual organs due to the mediating effect of your hands, which will cause the couple to complain to each other, be suspicious of each other, and even cause family disputes. Discord and entanglements abound.

In daily life, do not share daily toiletries with others. When washing clothes, it is best to wash underwear separately and do not use them all. Put them together for washing, bathtub and toilet. It is necessary to clean them regularly. Regular disinfection of daily necessities can also reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases to a certain extent.
Whether you are a man or a woman, you should pay attention to your personal hygiene, and the hygiene of your private parts is particularly critical.
