Venereal diseases are among the most common. Their transmission occurs, as a rule, during unprotected intercourse. That's why doctors recommend having one permanent partner, and always use a condom during casual relationships! Hypocrisy in our country leads to the fact that many are embarrassed to purchase these contraceptive products, and even one name makes them blush. The result of this is the queue for an anonymous appointment with a venereologist. Everyone needs to know the symptoms of STDs in order to recognize them in time.
Candidiasis
The initial stage is a dysbacteriosis. An excess of their own bacteria in women is observed against the background of hormonal changes or under other conditions. It is important to know that the occurrence of a disease does not always mean infection, but the sexual partner is necessarily at risk.

In men, sometimes everything goes away without obvious signs, but sometimes the head of the penis turns red, itching and burning, a white coating appear. It is necessary to be treated together and as prescribed by the doctor.
