What are the four new dangerous sexually transmitted diseases?

 

As research progresses in the world and new diseases are discovered, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are no exception.

Here we are mentioning four bacteria that can cause serious harm to people's health and are transmitted through sexual intercourse.
1. Neisseria meningitis

Neisseria meningitis is also known as 'meningococcal'. This bacteria can cause infections in the brain and spinal cord. But it is more known for urogenital infections.

A study conducted in the 1970s showed that this bacteria reached the genitals of a chimpanzee through its nose and throat and caused a urethral infection.

Now it has been found that in about five to ten percent of young people, the Neisseria meningitis bacteria enters through the throat or nose.

According to one study, the infection can be transmitted from an infected person to their sexual partner through oral sex and other types of sexual activity.

A total of five types of N. meningitis are responsible for sexually transmitted infections worldwide.

Two vaccines have been developed to combat this bacteria, which can reduce its effects.
2. Mycoplasma genitalium

Mycoplasma genitalium is one of the smallest bacteria in the world and its sexually transmitted diseases are becoming a serious concern worldwide.

It was identified in the 1980s. At that time, this bacteria affected one to two percent of the population, while it is being seen to spread rapidly among young and middle-aged people.

This bacteria causes inflammation of the pelvic or umbilical cord in the female reproductive system. It can cause infertility, miscarriage, premature birth and death of the baby in the womb.

Using a condom prevents the infection from being transmitted to a partner.

Medical researchers recommend the use of antibiotics such as azithromycin and doxycycline to prevent M. genitalium.
3. Shigella flexneri

It is also known as 'shigellosis' in the medical world. It is spread through direct and indirect contact with human waste. This infection causes severe abdominal pain and diarrhea. And this is how the bacteria spreads its infection further.

Scientists believe that S. flexneri is mainly spread through oral and anal sex. Its infection is increasing rapidly worldwide.

4. Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)

This 'dangerous' sexually transmitted infection is caused by an unusual strain of Chlamydia trachomatis.

LGV infection can cause persistent acne, vaginal ulcers, and this bacteria also attacks the body's gluten system.

This can cause intestinal diseases and can cause serious gastrointestinal diseases.

LGV has been increasing rapidly in Europe and North America over the past decade.

The disease is becoming more common among people who have sex with both sexes, homosexuals, and bisexuals.
