Though contracting a sexually transmitted disease is certainly no one’s idea of a good time, most STDs can be cured fairly easily when identified and treated early on. In most cases, curable STDs can be knocked out in a few days or a couple of weeks at most. And even incurable STDs can be treated and managed thanks to breakthrough advances in medicine. STDs are on the rise, with about two million new cases diagnosed each year. If you contract an STD, don’t panic! Most of them are curable or treatable, so you can still lead a normal, healthy life. Here are some facts about the most common STDs.
Curable STDs
The good news is that sexually transmitted diseases are curable 100%. In fact, many sexually transmitted diseases can be cured with a simple prescription antibiotic regimen. But the biggest enemy of getting and staying STD-free is complacency. If you’ve recently engaged in sexual activity with an infected partner, it is in your best interest to find a reputable provider of STD testing and get tested immediately. The earlier you can begin treatment, the easier it will be to rid your body of the STD.
The common curable STDs are:
Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea is curable when caught early. When left untreated, however, gonorrhea can cause permanent damage. If you observe any of the above symptoms or signs regularly, please visit your doctor to prevent any serious damage to your reproductive health. Chlamydia
When it comes to the STD known as Chlamydia, most people are aware that it’s a common problem to be treated with antibiotics. However, many of them may not realize how harmful this disease can be if left untreated. The symptoms appear after 3-7 days in most adults and tend to be mild, so there is a high chance that you won't notice you have been infected. Early diagnosis is essential for the prevention of life-threatening complications.
Syphilis
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the spirochete bacterium named Treponema pallidum. The major symptom of early syphilis is a single, painless sore called a chancre. Syphilis can be transmitted to adults while they are still in their mother’s womb or during birth. This happens because the Treponema pallidum bacteria is found in cervical, vaginal, and uterine secretions.
Trichomoniasis
Just one of many of today's bacteria, trichomoniasis is an infection that can be easily cured with prescription antibiotics. Typically, it takes about seven to ten days to cure a trichomoniasis infection and it is advised that you abstain from sexual activity during this period and until you and your partner have both tested negative.
Incurable STDs
Unfortunately, there aren't cures for every single sexually transmitted disease. Although no cure exists, the good news is that these infections can be treated and prevented through vaccination. The bad news is that you might be living with one of these diseases and not even know it.
Herpes
Unfortunately, once you contract herpes symptoms include itching, pain upon urination or defecation, and/or a tingling or stinging sensation near the point of infection (protruding blisters/pimples). It is not known if herpes can be transmitted through kissing, but stress and certain foods (e.g., spicy foods) may trigger a herpes outbreak. Often HSV-1 does not cause any symptoms; symptoms vary when HSV-2 infections are active.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a disease that can be treatable but is not curable. This means the disease will go away on its own over time (although the antiviral medications help to ensure no lasting effects). Hepatitis B is potentially deadly, so it's important to take the right precautions and seek immediate treatment if you have the disease.
HIV
While there is no cure for HIV, antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been proven to minimize the virus, its symptoms, and enhancement can significantly reduce the risk of transmission. At the same time, ART and other advancements in medicine allow many infected to live as long as uninfected individuals. [As a result], antiretroviral therapy (ART) can cause the viral load to become so low that it no longer appears in routine blood tests.
Conclusion
The key point here is that all sexually active individuals should be taking regular STD tests. The blood and urine STD tests are the best way to know whether or not you’re infected with any of these diseases, while the STD symptoms they can cause may never show up at all. And if you want to be sure, an STD panel is a great option because it offers you comprehensive coverage for all the most commonly transmitted STDs in our current times. See your doctor about getting tested—you’ll probably be glad you did.
Currently, the market is mainly driven by growing awareness about various health-related disorders, rising incidence of chronic and lifestyle disorders, and the high prevalence of infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis in women across the globe.
[270 Pages Report] The women’s health diagnostics market is projected to reach USD 36.6 billion by 2025 from USD 25.0 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period.The increasing adoption of POC diagnostic testing and the growth in the number of diagnostic and imaging centers are also expected to support the growth of this market during the forecast period.
However, the high cost of diagnostic devices, tests, and procedures; shortage of skilled laboratory technicians; and insufficient reimbursements for diagnostic tests are expected to restrain this market’s growth to a certain extent.Market DynamicsHigh prevalence of infectious diseases in womenRising incidence of chronic and lifestyle-related disorders in womenIncreasing awareness about fertility testing in women and initiatives by government and health organizationsIncreased adoption of POC and rapid diagnostic testsGrowth in the number of private diagnostic and imaging centersPublic-private partnerships are expected to enhance infrastructure in diagnostic imaging centersBased on application, the women’s health diagnostics market is divided into nine segments—osteoporosis testing, OVC testing, cervical cancer testing, breast cancer testing, pregnancy & fertility testing, prenatal genetic screening & carrier testing, infectious disease testing, STD testing, and ultrasound tests.
The large share of this segment can be attributed to the increasing incidence of breast cancer and rising awareness about advanced breast cancer diagnostic techniques, such as ABUSDownload PDF Brochure@ https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/pdfdownloadNew.asp?id=128928901COVID-19 Impact on Global Women’s Health Diagnostics MarketSince the beginning of 2020, more and more countries across the globe shut down their borders and limited transportation and travel to contain the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, thus, creating impediments for international trade and transportation.
This had disrupted the supply chains for the women’s health diagnostics market, temporarily leading to fall in demand due to uncertainty in the global economy and capital markets.
Additionally, we are estimating that the major share of the medical devices industry that includes imaging devices, and surgical products among others, which contribute 60-75% of the overall medical devices market will have a stagnant or deep fall in the growth rate in 2020 and couple of quartered from 2021.
