Various important signs that would reveal the presence of sexually transmitted disease in women!!

Do you know women are more prone to contract sexually transmitted diseases or STDs when compared to men?

There are certain biological, cultural and societal factors that would make a woman get STD easier than men. The pathogens would be able to enter into women much easier and that is due to the moist environment and delicate tissues of vagina and cervix etc.

Sometimes, when a woman contracts STI or sexually transmitted infections, then she would have more asymptomatic symptoms. As a result, a woman would not be able to recognise her symptoms and get treatment at the correct time. It is important to note that in heterosexual relationships a woman could get STDs easier from men when compared to the other way around.

The genital fluids in men would transmit the STDs much easier.  It is noteworthy that social and cultural factors also play a huge role for women being more prone for STDs. The factors are inequality in power dynamics, social stigma, limited access to healthcare and education plus economic dependency, lack of control over sexual decisions etc.

There are few examples of STD in women such as syphilis, gonorrhoea, herpes etc
