1. Herpes Genital
This disease is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). This virus will affect the skin, cervix, genitals, and several other parts of the body. There are two types of herpes simplex virus, namely HSVp1 (herpes type 1) and HSV-2 (herpes type 2).
Herpes infection is a long-term (chronic) condition. Many people never show symptoms when infected and do not know about their herpes status.
HSV is easily transmitted from human to human through direct contact. Generally, herpes type 2 transmission occurs through vaginal, oral, or anal sex. While herpes type 1 is more often transmitted through the mouth.
Although in most cases the virus remains dormant once it enters humans, in other words, the virus ‘sleeps’ in the body but causes no symptoms.
Characteristics and symptoms of genital herpes include:
- Pain or itching in the genital area or buttocks
- Small red bumps or small white bumps
- Wounds that form after the elastic breaks
- A scab that forms after the wound heals
- Pain when urinating
- Flu-like symptoms include swollen lymph nodes in the groin, headache, muscle aches, and fever.
2. Syphilis
Syphilis or syphilis is sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Syphilis is also known as the Lion King Disease.
Quoting SehatQ, this disease will generally show early symptoms in the form of sores on the genitals, rectum, and mouth.
The most common mode of transmission of syphilis is through unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal sex. You can catch lion king disease from direct contact with sores or warts on the genitals of an infected partner.
3. Genital lice
Pubic lice are tiny insects that feed on blood and live in pubic hair. Pubic lice can be passed from one person to another through physical contact.
4. Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea, or gonorrhea, is a sexually transmitted disease that is dangerous and can damage the reproductive system of both men and women.
If it is severe, pus-like fluid will often come out and cause itching and burning which is quite annoying. In addition, the virus from gonorrhea can also spread to the testicles to the internal organs of the vagina.
In many cases, Gonorrhea is often asymptomatic and asymptomatic. People with gonorrhea can suddenly become seriously ill. Serious treatment must be done immediately so as not to threaten life.
5. Chlamydia
It is a disease that is spread through vaginal, oral, penile, or anal contact with an infected person. Symptoms of chlamydia do not occur immediately after infection. New symptoms will appear in the range of 1 to 3 days.
The characteristics of chlamydia that can be identified include:
- Pain when urinating
- Lower abdominal pain
