The First Signs of an STD

A sexually transmitted disease is something that any sexually active person will not want to have. Therefore, it is very important to know what are usually the first signs of an STD is.

There are many and different kinds of sexually transmitted diseases. However, most STDs have similar initial symptoms. Below are some of the first signs of an STD:

-Excretions from the vagina or the urethra that are highly unusual

-Itching, no matter how intense or moderate

-Sensation of pain during sexual intercourse

-Sensation of pain during urination

-Sores that are open on body parts that you remember have touched or have come in contact with your sexual partner's genital area

-Swelling or bumps, regardless if it just one, but more importantly if they are many and found in groups in or near the genital area or the mouth. Be more aware if the bumps have fluids or pus in them and if they are painful.

-Weird smells emanating from your body, especially from your excretions

-Sudden appearance of warts or swelling in or on the genitals

-Mites or other parasites that may be infesting the genital area

-Usual symptoms of illness such as a rise in body temperature, a feeling of weakness, migraine or headache, or dizziness and a need to throw up

-Pain experienced in the abdominal area, more specifically in the lower portion of the abdominal area

-Off-cycle menstruation, or a delay in the arrival of the menstruation

-An increase in the frequency of voiding or urination

-Unusual change in the color of the skin, or sudden/easy appearance of bruises

-Loss of hair in several areas of the head

These are usually the first signs of an STD. These symptoms are not just symptoms for STDs. However, those who are sexually active must take note of these symptoms and have themselves properly and immediately checked by a healthcare representative who will be able to confirm any possible infections. The first signs of an STD are not an accurate time gauge as to when one has contracted the virus or the disease. Some symptoms may even take days or weeks before they start to appear from the time that they have made contact with the original carrier of the disease.

If one has identified himself or herself as having one (or more) of the first signs of an STD, it would be proper for this person to cease any further sexual activities from that point onwards, in order to avoid transmitting whatever disease he or she may be carrying to another person/s. Also, another preventive measure to take is to contact previous partners (if there are more than one), and inform them that you have contracted the disease. It would also be a very good idea to advise them to have themselves checked as well, to avoid further spread of whatever sexually transmitted disease they might be carrying and have therefore passed on to you.

The best bet for sexually active people is to have themselves checked regularly, even before seeing signs of an STD, as an action for future prevention.
