Yellowish-white discharge from the willy.
Other symptoms affecting the rectal area include itching, discharge and sometimes painful bowel movements.
The condition is treated with antibiotics, and treatment should also be given to the patient's partner. As with Chlamydia, further testing is recommended once treatment has ended to check whether the infection has cleared.
Herpes genitalis
(genital herpes)
How to spot Herpes genitalis.
Swelling and tenderness of the lymph nodes in the groin area.
In women, flute discharge and painful urination.
In men, a possibility of painful urination if the lesion is near the opening of the urethra.
Fever.
In most cases, a description of the condition and the appearance of the blisters will be enough to make a diagnosis. The GP may also advise referral to a specialist genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic for confirmation of the diagnosis. There is no cure for the herpes simplex virus; once infected, patients will remain a carrier for the rest of their lives.
HIV and AIDS
How to spot HIV and AIDS
Although they vary considerably, the symptoms include:
fever
diarrhoea
sweating at night
loss of weight
swollen glands
general discomfort.There is no cure for HIV and AIDS, but the earlier the diagnosis is made, the easier it is for the doctors to help. Today, efficient treatments exist that increase quality of life and prolong life itself. Anyone who is infected with HIV should only have safe sex using barrier protection and inform all previous partners about their infection.
Genital warts
How to spot Genital warts
The symptoms are raised, rough, wart-like growths that may occur singly or in clusters. In men, they are usually found around the head of the willy and tend to be drier. In women, they appear most often around the flute opening and may spread to the rectal area. It is also possible for the virus to appear on or near the cervix as whitish, flat-like lesions, usually only detectable through close visual examination of the cervix . In both men and women, lesions may also be present in the mouth and throat. In general, symptoms can intensify if the immune system is weakened, or during pregnancy or if the person has diabetes. The warts are very contagious so safe sex is advisable.
A GP can treat the warts by freezing and swabbing, but if this does not help the patient may be referred to a genitourinary specialist who can offer more specialised treatment. However, it is important to note that treatment does not always offer a complete cure.
Syphilis
How to spot Syphilis
The symptoms are divided into three stages.
Up to 12 weeks after the time of infection:
one or more red lesions will develop on the willy, labia (lips of the flute) anus and sometimes on the mouth and lips. These lesions disappear after a week.
Up to six months after the time of infection:
A red rash appears on the chest, back, arms, legs, hands and soles of the feet.
High fever.
Sore throat.
Muscular fatigue.
General feeling of discomfort.
Anyone experiencing these symptoms should contact their doctor immediately.
If the illness is not treated by the second stage, it will disappear for a while. However, the disease can lie dormant in the body and return up to 20 years later. At this more advanced stage the symptoms will be:
Heart failure.
Paralysis.
Insanity.
Possible death.
The diagnosis is made through the detection of the micro-organism or the detection of antibodies in the blood. In its early stages, syphilis can easily be treated with antibiotics.
How to avoid sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
Avoid high-risk behaviours and practise safe sex.
Though not necessarily practical or desirable, abstinence is the only way to completely prevent STDs.
Avoid sex with many different partners.
Always use condoms.
