Signs of sexual infection and maintaining penis hygiene

Sexual transmitted diseases, or shortly STD, are dangerous but easily avoided. The problem is that easy part is applied rarely. Both men and women can be the victims of some disease and that will require a therapy, which in most cases needs quite some time. This means that both men and women should know a bit more about main signs of sexual infections and maintaining penis hygiene and vagina hygiene.Signs

In most cases, there is itching present, and sometimes there are physical signs such as knobs, papilla, redness etc. In some cases, there is discharge from the sexual organ, which can be seen on the underwear (of greenish or yellowish color). In some cases, there is pain present in the urinary tract. Pain might also occur during sexual intercourse or while urinating. This is all a sign of urethral pathways being filled with the unwanted bacteria. There is a slight difference here between men and women. Usually, men feel much less pain, if any at all, while women tend to have this symptom almost immediately. This might be a lot more comforting for men, but actually it is not. While men suffer less, they are not aware they have any problem at all, while women realize that something has to be done.Hygiene and Protection

When it comes to hygiene, one thing is certain. Bathing and showering should be done regularly and properly. Also, when it comes to non-circumcised men, penis head should be washed thoroughly. Skin should be pulled down so that the entire head is free. Lower border of head in some cases contains a lot of tiny white pimples, which are normally present here. But from time to time, they excrete white substance that has a certain smell and has to be washed out.

This is the main thing that should be used for avoiding STDs. And it is obvious that condom is the best possible protection. There are many pregnancy protections but condom prevents pregnancy and also prevents transmission of some disease, if it is present. Many people, both men and women, dislike the use of condom and it has to be admitted that, at least for men, pleasure is a but reduced with a condom put on, although that is a really small price to pay when it comes to being healthy, especially, when it is known that using a condom will prevent a person from getting affected by HIV, the most dangerous disease in this story.
