50% of the adult population visit a venereologist only when necessary or when obvious health problems appear.

Statistics show that only half of adults, having discovered the first signs of sexually transmitted diseases, immediately go to the doctor.. Even less, according to experts, do not forget about regular preventive examinations.

A venereologist is a doctor who treats diseases transmitted through sexual contact. And although the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) themselves do not always manifest themselves with vivid symptoms, their main danger is the appearance of complications. In the event that the disease becomes chronic, it can lead to consequences such as infertility or disruptions in the work of other vital organs.. That is why it is so important to consult a venereologist at the first symptoms of an STD..

What should be alarming?

Some of the more well-known symptoms include:.

• any kind of inflammation in the genital area: rash, redness, ulcers, blisters, swelling;

• discharge from the genitals with an unusual color or odor;

• pain or discomfort during urination and intercourse;

• itching and burning in the genital area.

Unfortunately, having discovered the first signs of the disease, many do not dare to visit a doctor, but resort to self-medication. An attempt to apply widely advertised means, advice from the Internet or alternative methods almost always leads to only one result: the disease progresses. In this case, the symptoms of the disease may disappear or become less noticeable, only the disease itself will not disappear. The absence of symptoms does not mean the disappearance of the infection, but only that the disease has passed to a different stage.

Thus, a sick person loses precious time, because any sexually transmitted disease will still require special treatment and consultation with a venereologist.

Professional venereologists will help stop the disease at any stage, but the sooner treatment starts, the more effective it will be.

In addition, any sexually transmitted disease in the first stage can be completely asymptomatic.. Only preventive visits to the doctor and the passed tests can establish the presence of the disease in time and begin its treatment. That is why it is recommended to visit a venereologist (or urologist and gynecologist) at least twice a year.
