How To Treat Different Types Of STDs
・Gonorrhea and Chlamydia
Gonorrhea and chlamydia are bacterial STIs that can be cured with antibiotics, either orally or by injection.
Gonorrhea and Chlamydia often occur together, people who have just one of them are usually treated for both by their doctor. Sexual partners should be treated for the infection at the same time.
・Genital Herpes
Genital herpes eruptions can always be treated with antiviral drugs. This medication should help in limiting the length and asperity of subsequent outbreaks, but it definitely won’t cure the infection.
Additionally, daily suppressive therapy with the use of antiviral medication for herpes can totally reduce the chances of transmission to partners.Â
Pregnant women should be very careful when they get the infection because they can easily transmit the infection to their baby during childbirth.
Women who got the virus during pregnancy are at a higher risk of transmitting it to their baby. If the doctor notices a pregnant woman has the outbreak in the labor room, then she is advised to have a cesarean section (C-section) to protect her child from contracting the virus during childbirth.
・Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
Someone who has an HPV infection can never be cured, well at least not yet. However, HPV infection can totally be prevented with vaccination. Furthermore, your doctor should be able to treat genital warts caused by the virus.
・Genital Warts
There is no specific treatment for genital warts. Most genital warts might totally disappear without any treatment, so your doctor may decide to do nothing but to give it time.
Although, you will still be able to transmit it to sex partners because the disease is still in you. To treat genital warts, you have various options. You can freeze warts by applying the specific medication directly to them, your doctor will help with that.
If they don’t respond then surgery may be necessary to remove them. But still keep in mind that after the surgery, you still have the infection, and you can still give it to others.
・Syphilis
If spotted during the early stages, typically within the first year of infection, the disease can easily be treated with just a singular intramuscular injection of antibiotic.
When someone is being treated for syphilis, you are advised to not be sexually active until the sores caused by the bacteria are absolutely healed, so you won’t transmit it to other people.
If you didn’t spot the infection on time or you didn’t go for treatment immediately, much longer treatment with antibiotics may be substantial.
If you have no idea about the infection and it progresses even further, it will potentially cause death.
Generally, antibiotics can stop the infection from getting worse, but they can’t do much if the damage has already occurred.
