Safe sex is the best sex.It saves you from several complications such as Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and unwanted pregnancies.
You can terminate an unwanted pregnancy quickly as there are many options available on the market.
But when it comes to STDs, you’d be surprised how less you can do.
There are a few conditions such as Herpes which can be diagnosed shortly after contraction.
But sexually transmitted diseases such as Chlamydia can often go unnoticed and are hard to diagnose even after a year from contraction. [1]It is better to practice safe sex than regret it later.
But if you have made the mistake of having unprotected sex and that you think you might be suffering from an STD, here is what you should do.
An unwanted or unusual discharge.
Well, you may have had a great sex session.But if you see any unusual or unwanted discharge from your vagina or your penis after intercourse, you need to see a doc right away!
Any unusual discharge from your genitals (except, of course, urine), in terms of color, odor, viscosity, and consistency after unprotected sex surely call for a quick checkup.
And if your partner is someone whom you have just met and don’t know about his/her history, the risk of you contracting an STD is even higher.
An itch that won’t go away
Same is the case with itches.
When you have unprotected sex, millions of bacteria are exchanged between you and your partner.
If you start to feel an itch in your private areas right after having unprotected sex, you surely need to get tested as soon as possible.
Again, same is the case regarding your partner; if he/she is a stranger or someone whom you barely know about, the risks of you contracting an STD are high.
You don’t like to look at your genitals.
It is often when you have unprotected sex, complications arrive.If you have developed sores or lesions on your private parts, then you are in trouble.
It is of no question what color and what size the lesions or sores are.If they are there, you need to get it checked right away.
Genital sores and lesion are usually a result of unprotected sex with a doubtful partner. [2]
You must visit a doctor to get yourself tested for many STDs that can have possibly caused that sore or a lesion.
When the pleasure of sex turns into pain
Sex is all about fun and pleasure.But what if the sex turns into a pain?Well, there is only one thing you can do – get yourself tested.
If you feel any pain while having sex which may feel abnormal or unusual to you, there is something wrong with your body.You must run to the doc asap and get yourself checked.
Having pain while sex cannot be the only one condition you must be having,Often pain during sex can be only a symptom of one or more STDs.
Your genitals bleed.
Bleeding genitals can perhaps be the worst thing that can happen to you after having unprotected sex.
If there is any abnormal bleeding for you and it doesn’t happen often, it can very well be an initial sign of s sexual transmitted disease. [3]
Many STDs do have genital bleeding symptoms.
So, if there is even the slightest of blood discharge after having unprotected sex, you must visit a doctor at the earliest.
It is always the best option to have safe sex.And it is even better if you have sex with a partner whom you know and trust.
Thus, always use protection and be sure you’re free of any STDs.What are your thoughts on this blog?Let us know in the comments!
