Throughout history and modern times, in the traditional Chinese concept, it is believed that a man's underlying illness is a sexually transmitted disease, which is difficult to speak of. STD health experts introduce that due to people's psychological misconceptions about sexually transmitted diseases, they often result in a more terrifying situation than sexually transmitted diseases themselves, mainly manifested in:
1、 The mentality of 'taboo':
Many people feel embarrassed and avoid seeking medical treatment after falling ill, and are hesitant to seek medical treatment at the hospital. In fact, it is precisely the "taboo" that makes them unaware of the harm of not being treated in a timely manner. In clinical practice, it is not uncommon for cases to become chronic, worsen the condition, and increase treatment difficulties due to not being treated in a timely manner.
2、 Lucky mentality:
Some patients also believe that reproductive and urinary tract infections are not a major problem, and some discomfort symptoms will disappear in two days, or they can buy some medicine to take. Little did they know that in fact, due to individual differences, each person's medication plan varies greatly, and self medication can easily lead to excessive medication or worsening of the condition.
There are also some patients who feel nothing after "one night stand", but do not know that the incubation period of many sexually transmitted diseases is several months, such as the incubation period of AIDS is 2-10 years.
3、 The mentality of 'self abandonment':
Many patients adopt a self deprecating attitude and give up treatment midway after a period of treatment that does not improve or has little effect, and at the same time causes significant energy consumption and mental torment to the patients themselves. Experts in the field of sexually transmitted diseases point out that it is important to adhere to treatment for sexually transmitted diseases under the guidance of a doctor. If the disease breaks out after giving up, it will greatly increase the difficulty of re treatment.
Tips from sexually transmitted disease experts: The two main principles for men to seek medical treatment
Experts in the field of sexually transmitted diseases say that sexually transmitted diseases are not terrifying. What is terrifying is the lack of understanding of the disease itself. Once you suspect that you may have a sexually transmitted disease, you must:
1. Timely: After urinary tract infection, bacteria will gradually invade from shallow to deep, from the surface to the inside. If treated in a timely and reasonable manner, it is easier to eliminate bacteria and viruses. If treatment is delayed, bacteria will propagate up the urethra and prostate, making treatment more difficult.
2. Same treatment: Unlike other diseases, sexually transmitted diseases are prone to repeated cross infection between men and women. We should adhere to the principle of treating both men and women with the same disease, and suspend marital life during the treatment period to avoid cross infection.
