No one wishes to get sick, especially when it comes to sexually transmitted diseases since it is such a delicate issue. Still, their incidence is rather high, indicating that people may disregard the risks for some short moments of physical pleasure. But this is the wrong approach because you may be affected for life, and your way of living will never be the same again. The real danger behind illnesses like chlamydia and syphilis is that they act in silence, so may very well live with them in your body without even knowing it. The symptoms of syphilis come and go, like nothing ever happened. And in the case of chlamydia in men, in half of the cases, no signs occur at all. Now you understand why these diseases can be so dangerous because they can damage your body without you even noticing.
So you probably wonder how you can avoid this from happening. Well, first, you should never engage in unprotected sexual intercourse with strangers. Not that they are ill-intentioned, but as mentioned before, they might not even know they care a dangerous bacteria in their body. Now, if you wear protection, like condoms, you may stay safe in some manner, but they are not entirely useful. You see, syphilis is more a fungal infection, and it may spread all over the body. The canker sores, specific to the disease, can appear anywhere on the body. Thus, you may not notice one and just rubbing your skin against it can break loose the bacteria that can enter your organism. Not to mention that condoms can suffer from minor fissures, or breaks, which means you are not 100% protected.
The best approach to this matter is to get a medical exam as soon as possible, especially if you know you had an intimate adventure. These illnesses spread through all kinds of sexual intercourse, like anal and oral, not only through regular sex. Thus, you are not safe in any of these cases. Not to mention that syphilis can be transmitted through kissing, since canker sores can also develop in the interior of the mouth. Also, a person infected with syphilis may present symptoms of syphilis for a while after they will disappear, making a person look healthy and normal, although the reality is an entirely different one. Chlamydia in men very rarely has some bothering and visible symptoms, which will send a person to see the doctor. This is the explanation why the incidence of chlamydia is so high since no one is aware of having the illness.
And what is most interesting about these two illnesses is that, in spite of being medical conditions hard to detect without proper medical analysis, their treatment is remarkably straightforward. They are both curable and if a patient takes the entire treatment, the way his doctor recommended, the disease will never come back. But this is possible only if both of them are discovered in their starting phases. Because otherwise, they may cause severe complication that will make both the treatment and recovery much more difficult.
