Five Male Symptoms Of Stds

Every man who is, or has been, sexually active needs to get himself tested. That similarly goes for gay men, straight men and in-between men. People owe it to themselves and to their partner, and anyone who thinks otherwise is not mature enough to get engaged into intimate relationships. The fact is that men are not that much self-motivating about this matter. In general people have it really good when it comes to the actual act of getting tested! In modern days and age, most of the people will not even need a swab to get tested; meanwhile, women everywhere cringe at the mere mention of the words gynecologist, stirrups and speculum. So men can easily get them selves to the clinic before getting involved in sexual relationship.

If men, after undergoing STD tests, are diagnosed with Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Trichomoniasis, these are all very treatable and curable with antibiotics and in some cases people can take 1 pill and be done with the entire infection. If men are diagnosed with Syphilis while it is in the first or second stages, it can easily be treated with antibiotics. If people are in the 3rd stage of the disease, they would already have complications that would make treatment very much difficult. Luckily, the disease STD usually takes a long period of time to progress to the 3rd stage, so if people do not take eons to get tested, this should not be an issue.

If people are diagnosed with Hepatitis C, there is no cure, and they will need to take some precautions for the rest of their life to ensure that they do not overtax their liver. People can lead a normal, long life with the disease Hepatitis C as long as they make the necessary health changes. If people are diagnosed with HIV, this too can be manageable with antibiotic treatment, which is a huge leap from what the case would have been a decade ago. People will need to follow their doctor's advice immediately.

There are 6 basic tests for male STD that people should be tested for when they visit their doctor or clinic. There are actually more than 6 sexually transmitted diseases that men can carry and give to other but some of them can not really be tested for. Herpes is a kind of STD that can really not be diagnosed without a visible breakout. HPV or Genital warts come in loads of stress, some of which will not lead to disease. Also the strain of the disease which does can cause cancer in women who contract it but people really can not be tested for this, so this is one of those illnesses that people might have but never know. There are gap of time with every disease and its subsequent detection. If men contracted something a week ago, it is unlikely to show up in a test they take tomorrow. People either need to wait for the recommended interval, or repeat testing after that interval passes to be sure.
