Life outside the Spectrum - Sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

            BE AFRAID

            sceners that give women, dedicated

. Podtsepleno of networks.

Ed.: As usual, the New Year holidays are accompanied by loud 
partying, drinking alcohol, and other related phenomena:), 
therefore this information would be interesting. And once again 
remind you that only condoms will protect you from possible 
unpleasant consequences. Our choice - safe SEX. 


        Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

There is more than 20 STDs. Some of them are almost incurable,
some can be fatal.
In this case, neither one of them is no reliable method of 
contraception, except _vozderzhaniya of extramarital sex 
svyazey._ :-( 


            "Classic" venereal disease.

a) Zabolevbnie.
b) The main symptoms.
c) Methods of diagnosis.

a.1) Syphilis.
b.1) The latent period - 10 - 90 days.
The initial lesion - a small, painless ulcer on the external 
genitals, at least - in the rectum, vagina, on the mouth, 
throat. Disappears without treatment in 2-6 weeks, moving the 
second stage, usually manifested a variety of rashes on the 
skin and mucous membranes. One-third of patients transferred to 
the third stage - the hardest defeat heart, blood vessels, 
internal organs, the brain. B.1) studied blood from a vein, 
taken on an empty stomach. Research methodologies are 
different. The most common in Russia - Wasserman becomes 
positive, on average, 4 weeks after infection. Modern 
techniques - ELISA, TRNA, RPR - begin to "work" after 2 weeks.


a.2) Gonorrhea.
b.2) The latent period - 2-10 days.
Purulent discharge from the genital tract, resident at 
mochdispuskanii, abdominal pain, at least - the temperature 
increase in women - peritonitis. Investigation of genital 
discharge. B.2) smear microscopy - the cheapest, but are more 
accurate smears by the method of PCR or specialized crops. 

A.3) Chancroid.
B.3) The latent period - 3-5 days.
Sharply painful ulcer on the genitals, surrounded by red
rim.
B3) A study under the microscope separated ulcers.

A.4), lymphogranuloma venereum.
B.4) The latent period - 1 month.
Growing painless ulcer on the genitals inappropriate
form a dark pink color.
B.4) Study ulcers separated under a microscope.

A.5) Limforanulematoz inguinal venereal.
B.5) The latent period - 4-21 days.
Enlargement and suppuration of inguinal glands, fever.
B.5) Specialized study of blood.
The latter three diseases are now in the SG are extremely rare.


Sexually transmitted infections, with primary lesions
                     Nien genitals.

A.6) Urogenital chlamydiosis, mycoplasmosis, ureaplazmoz.
B.6) can occur unobtrusively.
Mucous discharge from the genital tract discomfort when
urination, itching, mild abdominal pain. In advanced cases - 
chronic inflammation of the bladder, kidney, prostate, female 
genital tract, pathology of pregnancy and fetus.

B.6) Isolation of pathogen from the discharge of the genital 
tract (strokes) by special methods - PCR (polymerase - chain 
reaction) or seeding. Blood from a vein on the antibodies to 
the method ELISA.


A.7) Urogenital trichomoniasis.
B.7) Women - copious foul-smelling frothy discharge, itching,
burning.
The men - with little or no manifestations, is rare - 
discomfort when urinating. B.7) Study of the smears on the 
detection of genital trichomonas methods: microscopy, PCR, 
inoculation of trichomonads. 

A8) Genital herpes.
B8) Recurrent itchy blisters on the genitals.
B.8) Smear on the herpes virus from a place of destruction 
(PCR). Blood for antibodies to the herpes virus.


A.9) Candidiasis (thrush).
B9) Usually the disease is not associated with genital 
infection. Appears white "cheesy" discharge, swelling, redness, 
itching of genitals. C.9) study of genital tract discharge 
techniques: microscopy, PCR, inoculation of fungal infection. 

A.10) Condyloma (genital) warts, warts.
B.10) Single or multiple wart formation on
genital mutilation in the form often resemble a cockscomb. On
against this infection in women are more common cancers
cervical disease in men - a cancer of the penis.
B.10) with the scraping of the affected area on the human 
papilloma virus PCR or cytology.


A.11), molluscum contagiosum genital area.
B.11), Small (1-5 mm) warts on the genitals with a central 
pupkoobraznym impression. Under pressure - saloobraznoe 
discharge. B.11) Study of discharge under a microscope.


A.12) Bacterial vaginosis (gardnerellez).
B.12) for men - without symptoms. Women - slivkoobraznye 
copious discharge with a sharp "fish" smell. B.12) by smear 
microscopy, or PCR. 

A.13) Scabies.
B.13) Strong periodic itching. May be struck by any part of the 
body, but the arms, chest, buttocks and pubic area are affected 
more often. B.13) Study scraping with a lesion under a 
microscope to detect itch zudnya or its eggs. 

A.14) Pubic lice (pediculosis).
B.14) Intense itching at the hairline.
B.14) Survey scalp with a magnifying glass to detect lice or 
nits. 

Sexually transmitted infections, with primary lesions
                      Niemi other organs.

A.15) Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis D.
B.15) Various liver disease, can lead to cirrhosis.
B.15) Studies of blood on the virus using PCR. Study
blood for antibodies to the different structures of the virus, 
the results of which allow you to judge the stage of the 
disease and its prognosis. 

A.16), cytomegalovirus.
b.16) in adults - symptoms.
The heavy defeat of the fetus and newborn.
B.16) Examination of blood for antibodies to the virus by ELISA 
or study of biological fluids (saliva, urine, blood) to himself

virus PCR.

A.17) Amoebiasis.
b.17) is affected colon. Abdominal pain, disturbances
stool, pain during bowel movements.
B.17) Research fecal pathogens. The study of blood
antibody ELISA, RSK.

A.18) Giardiasis.
b.18) is affected colon. Abdominal pain, disturbances
stool, pain during bowel movements.
B.18) Research fecal pathogens. The study of blood
antibody ELISA, RSK.
