Symptoms of Sexually Transmitted Disease
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD), also known as Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) or Venereal Disease (VD) is transmitted between human through sexual contacts, which includes vaginal intercourse, oral sex and anal sex. In the recent years, public health officials have started using the term sexually transmitted infection instead of sexually transmitted disease as the former has a broader range of meaning. The difference between the two terms being that STI simply means that the person being infected with the virus, bacteria or parasite would necessarily show symptoms of feeling sick whereas an STD would mean that the person shows signs of being sick. Symptoms of STDs are listed as follows.
Painful sex
Pain in the groin or lower belly
Vaginal bleeding
Pain or swelling of the testicles
Swelling or redness of the vagina
Weight loss, loose stools, night sweats
Genital and/or anal itching or irritation
Burning or pain during urination
Swollen lymph glands in the groin
Flu-like symptoms (such as aches and pains, fevers, and chills)
Bleeding from the vagina other than during a monthly period
A rash, blisters, sores, lumps, bumps, or warts on or around the genitals, anus, or mouth
A drip or discharge from the penis, urethra, vagina, or anus; the color may be white, yellow, green, or gray.
