Signs of STD

Sponsored Content Provided by Rad Revenue In everyday life, women are primarily attached to outside looks and body improvement. Important as it is, the body shape is essential for having a complete full image of yourself and enhancing your self-confidence as well. On the other side is the male population, also preoccupied with exhausting workouts and having a good muscle structure. When having these two sides in question, there's something more essential than the outside appearance—general health. Imagine having ...

Many of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are typically identified by a handful of common symptoms. Herpes, for example, frequently causes genital warts and bumps around the mouth or genitals. But sometimes, STDs cause less obvious and lesser-known symptoms. One of these often unrecognized symptoms is dry skin. Indeed, dry skin may be one sign that you have an STD. Frequently, "STD" is used interchangeably with the term sexually transmitted infection (STI), but they're different. STIs are infections that can develop into STDs. As an example, human papillomavirus (HPV) is an STI, unless it leads to genital warts or cervical cancer, which are STDs. In this article, we'll primarily discuss dry skin that's caused by STDs. We'll also look at some key STIs and their connection to dry skin. Dry skin is a common symptom of a number of conditions, from allergies and psoriasis to STDs. Any patch of dry skin you develop isn't necessarily a sign you...

FRIDAY, April 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Use of drug interaction checkers could have identified several drug-drug interaction (DDI)-associated adverse drug reactions, including severe and life-threatening events among patients with COVID-19, according to a review published online April 19 in JAMA Network Open . Valeria Conti, Ph.D., from University of Salerno in Italy, and colleagues conducted a systematic literature review to identify DDIs that led to adverse clinical outcomes and/or adverse drug reactions in patients with COVID-19. The researchers identified DDIs involving 46 different drugs, with 575 DDIs for 58 drug pairs (305 associated with at least one adverse drug reaction) reported. Lopinavir and ritonavir were the drugs most involved in DDIs. Twenty included studies (enrolled 1,297 patients) reported 115 DDI-related adverse events, of which 26 percent were identifiable by all tools analyzed, 50 percent were identifiable by at least one drug interaction checker, and 24 perce...

What Is Uroxatral? Uroxatral (alfuzosin) is a prescription medication used to improve urination in adult men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, enlarged prostate). It is in a class of drugs called alpha blockers.  Alpha blockers are commonly used to treat high blood pressure, although Uroxatral has not been researched in treating high blood pressure. Uroxatral works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder and prostate to improve urine flow. It does not shrink the prostate or change prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood levels. It is available by prescription as a 10 milligram (mg), round, three-layer tablet: one white layer between two yellow layers. Drug Facts Generic Name: Alfuzosin Brand Name: Uroxatral Drug Availability: Prescription Therapeutic Classification: Benign prostatic hypertrophy agent Available Generically: Yes Controlled Substance: N/A Administration Route: Oral Active Ingredient: Alfuzosin hydrochloride Dosage ...

It is currently STD Awareness Week at the CDC (how do you celebrate?), and just as they are attempting to spread the word about screening, testing, and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, the latest batch of numbers has confirmed what many in the medical community had feared. Despite a noteworthy, but not unexpected, decline in reported cases of syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia in the early months of the pandemic, the final tally for 2020 is significantly higher than what we saw in 2019, though there is some important nuance that I'll discuss shortly. This includes a significant increase in cases of congenital syphilis, which I wrote about last October. Why do the new CDC numbers focus on these three particular sexually transmitted diseases in the new report? Why not HIV or HPV? What about Hepatitis B and C? No respect for chancroid, the most common cause of genital ulcers in the world? It isn't that the CDC doesn't care about the others. Chlamydia, gonorrhea,...
