Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are infections that spread through sexual contact and can affect a person’s reproductive and overall health. These diseases, such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes, and HIV, are caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. STDs can lead to problems in various parts of the body, like pelvic inflammatory disease, difficulty getting pregnant, and increased vulnerability to other infections. Detecting and treating STDs early is very important to prevent lasting issues. It’s crucial to use safe sexual practices, obtain vaccinations when they’re available, and have frequent checkups to prevent STDs. In gynecology, understanding and addressing STDs are crucial for maintaining sexual health and preventing problems for those at risk.
