Next is genital herpes, which can cause contact papules, blisters, accompanied by burning and pain in the external genitalia, and is prone to recurrent attacks. Gonorrhea has severe symptoms, characterized by redness, swelling, and pus discharge at the urethral opening, which can be accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. Genital warts may initially have small papules, which may be rough but soft. Sexually transmitted diseases are a common and diverse disease.

Error 2: As long as a condom is used, there is no risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases

Error 5: Prostitutes urinating immediately will not cause sexually transmitted diseases
The bacteria and viruses of sexually transmitted diseases penetrate into tissues and blood in a short period of time, and urinate immediately after sexual intercourse. The effectiveness of preventing sexually transmitted diseases is quite limited. However, female patients who urinate and expel bacteria from the bladder after sexual activity have the effect of preventing acute cystitis.
Error 6: Prostitutes do not need condoms before taking antibiotics
Antibiotics are effective for bacterial venereal diseases, but not for rashes and AIDS. Abuse of antibiotics can actually lead to bacterial resistance. Gonorrhea is the most obvious example.
