Introduction to some STIs in boys

Submitted by ericw on
Trichomonas

Symptoms: No or burning sensation.  

Complications: An important complication of this disease is the likelihood of preterm labor in pregnant women. For boys, this infection shows no particular symptoms.

Diagnosis and treatment: Because the symptoms are very similar to gonorrhea and chlamydia, your doctor may send a sample of the discharge to the laboratory. Treatment is with antibiotics.

Simultaneous treatment of sexual partner(s) is essential.
