Just about everyone experiences a pain in the back now and again. Indeed, studies suggest that back pain accounts for 264 million lost work days every year. Though most of the time back pain is a fleeting nuisance, it can occasionally be the result of something more sinister. Indeed, certain STDs and conditions caused by
“Uh-oh.” We all have “uh-oh” moments from time to time. Like when you fumble in your pockets and can’t find your keys. Or when you’re sitting in traffic and you can’t remember if you turned the stove off. However, no one wants to experience an “uh-oh” moment in regard to their sexual well-being. Finding bumps
Some conversations are easier to have than others. Unsurprisingly, many people are hesitant to bring up the subject of STDs with their significant other –– even if they have reason for concern. We understand that sexual wellness is a sensitive topic, and new couples hardly want to think about the possibility of venereal disease as
STDs are such an odious prospect for some people that they’d rather ignore their existence than get tested –– even when they desperately need to. Alternatively, others believe that because infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia are relatively common, they’re not dangerous. What’s more, some factions seem to think that their immune system will “heal” STDs
Look, we get it. We understand why a person with an STD would value a natural solution to their problem. However, the harsh reality is, natural remedies for STDs do not work. Period. We can’t stress this enough: don’t spend your hard-earned money on supplements, vitamins, or other substances online that purport to cure STDs.
Trying to classify and separate the different types of STDs is a difficult task. Though many STDs are similar, they vary in subtle ways. So what’s true for one STD, may not apply to another. As such, a good level of confusion exists regarding which STDs can be cured, which ones are fatal, and which
At Same Day, we’re accustomed to fielding questions about the STD testing process. Indeed, if you’ve never had an STD test before, you might understandably be concerned about how certain tests are administered. In particular, the male STD test procedure inspires a good deal of anxiety for many men. The good news is, getting tested
It’s always dangerous to make assumptions –– particularly in regard to your well-being. The bad news is, many women do wrongly assume that pap smears and pelvic exams act as STD tests. Indeed, though pap smears are important, they’re not comprehensive in terms of detecting STDs. So just because you’ve recently had a pap smear
When it comes to the health of your child, you can’t be too careful. The good news is, relatively few babies are born with STDs thanks to modern testing, screening, and treatment methods. However, some children are born with STDs, and STDs do affect a number of pregnancies every year. And it’s important for all
In a perfect world, STDs wouldn’t exist. And while there are scientists and medical professionals dedicated to eradicating STDs completely, the truth is STDs won’t be going away anytime soon. In fact, just the opposite is true; STD rates have risen in recent years. As an individual you can only do so much to prevent
Trichomoniasis is a sonically menacing STD. Most people don’t know how to pronounce this disease –– let alone if they need to look out for it. Indeed, trichomoniasis (or “trich” from here on) is a relatively unknown STD. This is surprising considering the fact that according to the CDC, it’s the most common curable STD.
Getting a positive STD test result is never a good thing. We won’t sugarcoat it, it can be difficult to deal with an STD –– no matter how severe or mild the health risk associated with it may be. However, it’s especially frightening to get the news that you’ve picked up an STD that’s incurable.
STDs are a confusing subject to take on. One of the big reasons why is due to the fact that no two STDs are the same. While certain STDs may exhibit similar symptoms, their makeup is unique. However, there is a significant difference between bacterial vs viral STDs. These two camps comprise the majority of
People find STDs more revolting than just about any other type of ailment. As a society, we don’t like talking about STDs, thinking about STDs, and deep down, we all just wish they’d go away forever. But can they? Can STDs go away on their own if enough time passes? It’s a question a lot
It’s easy to underestimate the power of language. After all, most people don’t spend their free time analyzing speech patterns or studying subtle changes in terminology. However, the way we talk about a subject has a major impact on how we perceive it. It’s why we use euphemisms to soften the blow, or hyperbole to
We humans kiss each other all the time. From greetings and farewells, to expressions of romantic intent and even love, a kiss can mean a great number of things. In fact, the average person will spend around two weeks of their life kissing. Unsurprisingly, most of us think of kissing as an innocent act, and
It’s unfortunate, but STD statistics from recent times underline some troubling national trends. Over the past few years, the US has seen dramatic rises in cases of common STDs like gonorrhea and chlamydia. In addition, around 40,000 people contract HIV every year. Just as troubling though, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that only
Now that we’ve moved past Memorial Day in the calendar, it’s safe to say we’ve transitioned once again from spring to summer. And with the advent of summer upon us, everyone can look forward to all of the barbecues, backyard parties, and trips to the local swimming hole that are sure to follow. However, for
There are few feelings worse than coming back with an unexpected positive result from an STD test. Indeed, it’s natural to feel upset, confused, angry, or even frightened in the aftermath of a positive test. (Still, it’s better to uncover a positive test result early, than to allow a potentially dangerous STD to fester.) What’s
Broaching the subject of STD testing with your partner, significant other, or spouse is a difficult conversation to have. But it shouldn’t have to be. Indeed, the benefits of seeking out regular STD tests are numerous, and the risks you run if you eschew this important service are potentially fatal. The truth is though, there
It’s one of the last things you want to think about; we get it. However, because most people don’t like to consider the possibility of getting an STD, they tend not to have a plan if they actually contract one. And that remains true even though millions of people in the US get an STD
When it comes to STD testing, all results are not created equal. There are highly accurate results available from some groups, and some facilities/retailers that provide testing products which have been proven to not be quite as accurate. Maybe faster, but less accurate. And this is your health we’re talking about here. Not getting a
“I’m not having any symptoms, so I don’t think I need to get tested.” This is a famous phrase and a common preconceived notion. Why wait for that surprise Herpes outbreak? I hear many patients say that they have been taking over-the-counter medicine because they think the discomfort during urination is just a UTI, or
The scariest words that I can hear from a patient are “I have been looking on the Internet and think I have symptoms of….” Let me tell you that is the recipe for disaster. If you look up a hangnail on a medical site, you will have convinced yourself that you will be dying within
My first experience with STD testing wasn’t the most pleasant. In fact, it went so “well” that I didn’t even go through with it. I went to my primary care physician for my yearly physical before moving out of state. It was just a normal overall checkup, and he asked if anything was bothering
Omaha launches what can easily be called the country’s most disgusting ad campaign – targeting a rising STD rates… A graphic sexual health campaign aims to combat rising STD rates in Omaha, Neb., by grossing out young people with giant flesh-and-pus letters that deliver off-putting puns. Billboards and bus posters around the city, as well
Here are some great examples of vintage STD pictures. These are very interesting and a great look at views of STDs many years ago. You can view more galleries at Non Profit STD Testing of STD pictures by browsing through the website.
