World Health Organization informs that over 1 million infections with pathogenic agents occur worldwide every day, infections that, untreated, can lead to sexually transmitted infections, some of which are initially asymptomatic.
Looking at the symptoms, among them we can recall the burning sensation when urinating and itching in the intimate area. However, there are changes in the eyes that can indicate that you have a sexually transmitted infection. Eye pain and redness are initially the main signs, although these can occur for many reasons.
Chlamydia, on the list of sexually transmitted infections
Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections. Many people have no symptoms, putting them at risk of long-term health problems such as infertility. Sometimes infections can be detected just by looking at the eye level.
Irritation, pain, inflammation and changes in the secretion of the eyes, possibly affecting only one eye, can be a sign of chlamydia. These symptoms occur when chlamydia trachomatis, the bacteria that causes the infection, makes direct contact with the mucous membrane, the moist part of the eye. It is also known as chlamydial conjunctivitis or ocular chlamydia, and the symptoms appear in the early stages.
Chlamydia can be diagnosed very easily and treated with antibiotics. Ocular chlamydia is contagious and spreads very easily through eye contact with genital fluids or even direct eye contact.
GONORRHEA
Gonorrhea is another common infection that also causes symptoms in the eyes. The infection is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae and can occur in both women and men and not only in the eyes, but also in the rectum or throat following unprotected anal or oral sex. Infections can lead to light sensitivity as well as unusual eye discharge.
Gonococcal conjunctivitis is a conjunctivitis that occurs as a result of gonorrhea infection.
Syphilis
Another sexually transmitted infection is syphilis. Although rare, left untreated, this disease reaching the eye level can reduce visual acuity, and even lead to permanent blindness. If you notice sensitivity to light and changes in your vision, such as blurred vision, these could indicate ocular syphilis.
