Could you have an STD and not know it?Unfortunately, the answer is yes.
Chlamydia
Chlamydia is the most frequently reported and fastest growing sexually transmitted disease in the United States.
Symptoms: 75% of women with Chlamydia experience little or no symptoms; those who do may notice abnormal vaginal discharge, burning when urinating, and spotting between periods.
Transmission: Chlamydia can be transmitted in a number of ways. Vaginal sex, anal sex, even child birth can pass the disease on.
Treatment: Chlamydia can be easily cured with antibiotics.
There can be serious consequences if left untreated so see your Medical Professional for advice.
Gonorrhea
I was unaware that this STD got such top billing! Gonorrhea is the second most commonly reported infectious disease in the United States, but like Chlamydia, it is under-diagnosed.
Symptoms: Gonorrhea has been described as a deceptive disease because the symptoms are usually mild, if detectible at all. However, many people also report the following: pain or burning during urination, yellowish or bloody vaginal discharge, abdominal pain or tenderness, heavier menstrual flow, and spotting between periods.
Treatment: Antibiotics can cure the infection, but they will not repair any permanent damage done to your body by the disease.
Consequences: if left untreated: Gonorrhea can lead to chronic pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy, infertility, and infections that can damage joints and heart tissue. Gonorrhea can also increase your risk of acquiring HIV if you are exposed to the virus.
Genital Herpes
Herpes symptoms can come and go, but the virus stays in the nerve cells of your body even when you are not exhibiting signs.
If you have a special someone and you remain true, there is no risk at all of picking up any of the above. (provided there is no pre-infection) Failing that, always make sure you have a condom in your purse.
Be safe and enjoy!
There are two types of HSV: HSV type 1 usually causes small blisters on the mouth, eye, or lips (cold sores) and HSV type 2 usually affects the genital area.
