std itching on pubic hair :: Article Creator Extreme Pubic Grooming 'may Not Cause Sexually Transmitted Infections' Using condoms correctly reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) Women who regularly remove all their pubic hair - known as "extreme" personal grooming - are not at greater risk of chlamydia or gonorrhea, a study of female students suggests. The findings go against past research warning shaving and waxing could leave cuts in the skin and help sexually transmitted infections to take hold. If left untreated, STIs can make getting pregnant more difficult. Using condoms correctly during sex is the best form of protection. STIs, which tend to affect young people and men who have sex with men, can usually be treated with antibiotics. In this small study by Ohio State University, 214 women were asked how often and how much they groomed their pubic hair, and then tested for an STI. Whil...

signs and symptoms of trichomoniasis in pregnancy :: Article Creator Signs And Symptoms Of Ovulation Ovulation is a phase of the menstrual cycle that occurs when one of your ovaries (small glands located on both sides of your uterus) releases an egg in an attempt to conceive a baby. This typically happens about two weeks before you start your period. Your most fertile days (or, days where your chance of becoming pregnant is at its highest) occur during ovulation. Just like your menstrual period, you can experience a number of symptoms while you're ovulating. These may include changes in vagina discharge, pelvic pain, breast tenderness, increased sex drive, and bloating, among others.

clinical manifestations of aids :: Article Creator Effects Of HIV On The Body HIV attacks your immune system, making it harder for you to fight off things that can make you sick. As the virus weakens your natural defenses, you might notice signs all over your body.

You'll need to keep an eye out for problems and take steps to prevent or slow them. Your immune system has many types of white blood cells that fight infection. HIV gets inside a kind called CD4 cells and makes copies of itself. The virus kills the cell, and the new viruses go off to find more. Your body responds by making more CD4 cells, but after a while, it can't keep up with the virus. This makes your immune system weak. You're more likely to get sick, even from common germs. Infections last longer,...
