Diseases in the department of the goddess of love - Venus - knew already during antiquity. Since then, they have managed to draw a variety of rumors, legends and myths. This topic, unfortunately, does not cease to be relevant: Nowadays, the treatment of STDs does not represent much difficulty, but the level of the disease itself has grown multiple times due to the widespread freedom of the morals.

Myth is the first: if the sexual act with a sore partner took place only once, then you can not get infected.
Yes, sometimes it happens. Even cases are known when the spouses of HIV carriers have not become infected for several years of regular sexual relations. However, you should not tempt fate: such cases are still not a rule, but an exception. But here is a treatment appointed with a preventive purpose, it is reasonable to expose only someone who broke the marital loyalty. If the wrong spouse appealed to the doctor shortly after suspicious communication, the treatment will be appointed only to him, since the incubation period of the STD is usually great, and the second partner will simply do not have time to get infected.
The Myth of the second: not scary if the condom or it broke or it is not at all – There are other methods of preventing infection.
Yes, there are such methods, but these medicines do not allow one hundred percent warranty. For several months, it is necessary to follow health. And even better – right after «suspicious» sexual intercourse empty the bladder, wash outdoor genital organs with the use of economic soap and immediately consult a doctor.
Myth Three: Very often gonorrhea or syphilis are infected by the household.
Yes, such cases are possible, but only if you exercise an unforgable carelessness. Elementary observance of personal hygiene rules will save you from trouble. Do not write someone else's cigarette, do not use other people's toothbrushes, lipstick, towel, do not wear other people's things, including earrings.
Myth Fourth: Doctors of the State Leather Spacer will immediately communicate to work that man is sick of a venereal disease.
No. Now this practice of Soviet times remained in the past. At the guard of your secrecy not only an oath of hippocrat, but also the Criminal Code.
Myth Fifth: All diseases can be determined using a single analysis.
Yes, such a modern method of diagnosis, as PCC (polymerase chain reactions), is actually able to identify pathogens of various diseases. However, one hundred percent accuracy does not guarantee. Therefore, do not refuse those analyzes that the doctor appoints you. Each of the studies (bacteriological, bacterioscopic, serological, culture) can give a more accurate and complete picture of the disease.
Myth Sixth: Modern antibiotics will cure any infection in three days. Sufficiently consult with a medical director.
This is a very dangerous misconception. Universal drugs do not exist. In each particular case, not only a certain drug, but also a certain scheme of its application will help. And decide what and how to take, in a state only graduate specialist.
The myth of the seventh: a small amount of alcohol during the reception of antibiotics will not hurt.
Hurts the fact that such a necessary treatment is now useful. Even a small dose of a low alcohol drink in combination with an antibiotic has the same effect as a combination of acid and alkali: that is, complete neutralization. But it can be reduced to zero all your efforts to get rid of the disease.
The eighth myth: chlamydia is practically not amenable to treatment.
Of course, if you have forgotten accepted the course of antibiotics, then no one can guarantee you the absence of relapses. Reception of immunostimulating drugs.
