Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can affect both men and women and can cause a wide range of symptoms and effects. It is important to note that not everyone who has an STI will necessarily develop symptoms. In addition, symptoms can vary in severity among those affected. The symptoms listed below can also be attributed to other health problems. For this reason, testing for STIs is recommended at regular intervals.
1. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)
Acute infection often goes unrecognized because it is associated with no symptoms or nonspecific flu symptoms in both men and women. If untreated, it is followed by a silent phase of the disease that lasts for years. This later develops into the symptomatic phase of AIDS, which manifests as a severe impairment of the immune system in both men and women. The resulting infections can affect various organs.
2. hepatitis C
During the initial infection, both men and women often have mild or absent symptoms for 4-12 weeks after infection. Occasionally, flu-like symptoms, dark urine, abdominal pain and yellow-colored skin may occur. The virus remains in the liver of most people infected for the first time and later leads to chronic infection, which usually progresses without obvious symptoms. Over the course of many years, however, it can lead to liver disease and, as a complication, cirrhosis, in which the liver gradually loses its function.
3. syphilis (lues)
About 2-3 weeks after syphilis infection, both men and women may experience swelling of the lymph nodes in the genital area. This is often accompanied by painless mucosal lesions on the genital organs, which normally heal on their own. During vaginal intercourse, these lesions may occur on the penis as well as on the labia or in the vagina. During oral sex, mucosal lesions are possible in the mouth or throat, while the rectum may be affected during anal sex. In the later stages of infection, a rash may appear on the hands and feet. If the infection is not treated, it can persist in the body for years and damage all organs. Such infection poses a particular risk during pregnancy, as the unborn child may suffer serious damage.
