5 Sex Deadly Diseases.

According to data from the Ministry of Health in Mexico they have increased sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), particularly genital herpes, syphilis and human papillomavirus (HPV). What are the reasons for this increase? Some may be the lack of prevention programs, little or misuse of condoms to avoid infection among young people, or ignorance on issues of sexual education in adolescents.

However, what worries is that sexually transmitted infections continue to grow. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), currently in the world there are at least 340 million new cases of sexually curable year as syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis transmitted infections among people aged 15 to 49. These are the 5 most lethal, both men and women.

1. Gonorrhea is a disease caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterium that grows and multiplies easily in moist areas and warm reproductive delaparato, including the cervix, womb and fallopian tubes in women, and the urethra both sexes. The bacterium can also grow in the mouth, throat, eyes and anus.

2. Syphilis is a curable infection if diagnosed early and treated with medication prescribed by a specialist. Untreated syphilis causes serious health complications, such as damage to the skin, bones and cardiovascular problems. Because syphilis sores can be hidden in the vagina, rectum or mouth, it may be that a person does not realize that your sexual partner has syphilis.

3. Genital herpes: according to WHO, each year 20 million people are infected by this virus. Often, genital herpes have no symptoms. Some people carry the virus in the body but does not manifest itself until you become infected again. Other symptoms are itching or burning, pain sensation when the urine passes over the sores, or swollen and tender to the touch in the groin, neck and underarms lymph nodes. The symptoms disappear within the next three weeks or less if treated with medication. Touching the sores can spread herpes to other parts of the body or his partner (a).

4. Chlamydia: This infection is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, which affects the genitals of women. Although infection with chlamydia have no symptoms, serious complications that can occur "silently" cause irreversible damage, including infertility. This infection causes discharge from the penis of an infected man. It can be transmitted during vaginal, oral or anal. It can also be transmitted from mother to child during vaginal delivery.

5. Human Papillomavirus (HPV): for those who choose to be sexually active, a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner is the strategy most likely to prevent genital HPV infection, according to experts . However, it is difficult to determine whether the partner who has been sexually active in the past is currently infected with the virus.
