Increased number of young people with sexually transmitted diseases due to subjectivity

NGUYỄN LY |

HCMC - Many young people who get sick of a sexually transmitted disease are concerned about their subjectivity in sexual intercourse.

Patient Ha Nam (character's name has been changed, 30 years old, Ho Chi Minh City) began to show signs of developing a few small lumps on his tongue. The patient initially thought he had mouth ulcers, but the more and more lumps and spurs on his tongue became more and more. Worried, the patient went to Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital for examination and testing, the patient was diagnosed with chickenpox. This is the result of patients having oral sex, being subjective and not having preventive measures during sex.

Recently, Clinical Department 3, Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital has received many patients with diseases through sexual intercourse, most of whom take precautions when having sex lightly, leading to the disease having obvious symptoms before going to the doctor.

At the same time, many people still believe that oral sex is a "safe" form, not leading to sexually transmitted diseases. However, according to specialist II Manh Ha - Deputy Director of Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital, this is a misconception. In fact, oral sex is still at risk of transmission of disease like normal forms of sex, and can even be higher if there is a lack of proper protective knowledge.

Oral sex is a personal act, often stemming from each person's own choice or preference. However, from a medical perspective, this behavior is still an infectious path for many dangerous sexual diseases. These include diseases such as Syphilis, smuggling, HIV, hepatitis B, genital herpes and especially HPV virus - the cause of chickenpox in the mouth, phlegm and can lead to cancer of the pharyngoshapha. The risk of spreading is higher when the significant other does not use protective measures, such as condoms or dental dams, which are rarely used in this form of relationship.

After oral sex, some people may experience unusual signs such as ulcers, pain, stools or bleeding in the mouth, tongue, lips or throat. However, Dr. Manh Ha noted that the disease does not always have obvious symptoms. Some people may only have mild sore throat, temporary breathing pain or have no signs at first. Therefore, there are many cases of detecting the disease too late, or accidentally infecting others without knowing it. Diseases such as HIV, Syphilis or hepatitis B can completely exist silently in the body without causing any symptoms in the early stages, causing patients to be subjective and ignore early treatment.

To prevent sexually transmitted diseases, doctors recommend maintaining a healthy, loyal sex relationship with a partner. Before starting a relationship, both should discuss frankly and go for screening for diseases at risk of infection. During the relationship, limit changing many partners and do not take protection even if it is just a "word of mouth relationship" lightly. When detecting any unusual signs in the mouth - throat area, patients should proactively go to the doctor for timely testing and medical intervention.
