Sifaka imikhiqizo esicabanga ukuthi ilusizo kubafundi bethu. Uma uthenga ngezixhumanisi ezikuleli khasi, singathola ikhomishini encane. Nansi inqubo yethu.

Uma kukhona okuthize okuGogogged ukwedlula "ukupheka kanjani isifuba senkukhu" kanye "nobulili besifazane abathandanayo" (mina nje ??), imali ithi "ngine-STI?" noma omunye umbuzo ngalezi zifo okunzima ukuziqonda.

Yingakho sihlanganisa lo mhlahlandlela wezempilo wezocansi osizayo.

Kusukela ekunciphiseni ubungozi bokudluliswa kwe-STI kuze kube yilapho udinga ukulinda isikhathi esingakanani ngaphambi kokuhlolwa ngemuva kokuchayeka, pheqela phansi ukuthola izimpendulo zemibuzo ye-STI yazi ubulokhu Googling.

Uyini umehluko phakathi kwe-STI ne-STD?

Uma ubenenhlanhla ngokwanele yokuba nokufana kwezemfundo yezocansi - bewazi kuphela ama-30 kwangu-50 e-United States okukugunyazayo? Kubi! - amathuba okuba umfundisi wakho abizwe ngezinto ezifana ne-gonorrhea ne-herpes "izifo ezithathelwana ngocansi," noma ama-STD ngamafuphi.

Kepha endaweni ethile phakathi kwalesi sikhathi nanamuhla, isifinyezo sathola ushintsho olungcono.

Manje, kubonakala sengathi wonke umuntu ubabiza ngezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi, noma ama-STI.

Manje yini umehluko? Yebo, ngokwe-Planned Parenthood, ukutheleleka kubizwa kuphela ngezifo lapho kubangela izimpawu, okuyinto yezinye izifo zocansi ezenzayo!

• izifo ezithathelwana ngocansi = izifo ezibangelwa ukuxhumana ngokocansi okuyi akunampawu
• izifo ezithathelwana ngocansi = izifo ezibangelwa ukuxhumana ngokocansi okuyi okunophawu

“Uma umnikazi wesitho sangasese sangaphansi ene-HPV kodwa okwamanje engenazo izimpawu, lokho kuyisifo socansi. Kepha esimweni [lapho] beqala ukuba nezimpawu, lokho sekuzobizwa nge-STD, ”kuchaza uDkt Earim Chaudry, MRCGP, udokotela ojwayelekile kanye nomqondisi wezokwelapha kwi-Manual's wellness platform yamadoda.

"Lawa magama asasetshenziswa ngokufana ezindaweni eziningi," kusho uDkt. Kristy Goodman, OB-GYN kanye nomsunguli kanye ne-CEO ye-PreConception. "Futhi ezinye izinhlangano ezifana neCDC zimane nje zanamathela ekuzibizeni ngama-STD."

Uma uthi 'hlola konke' bona, kulungile, vivinya konke, akunjalo?

Empeleni, akulungile.

Bahlolela izifo ezithathelana ngokocansi kuphela

Izifo ezithathelana ngokobulili ezihlukene zihlolelwa izindlela ezahlukene.

• I-Chlamydia ne-gonorrhea ihlolwa ngesampula yomchamo.
• I-Hepatitis, i-herpes (HSV), i-HIV ne-syphilis iyahlolwa ngesampula segazi.
• I-human papillomavirus (HPV), i-HSV, i-trichomoniasis (“trich”), i-molluscum contagiosum, ne-scabi iyahlolwa ngokusebenzisa i-cell-scraping, kungaba ngokushintsha indawo ethintekile noma ngokuswayipha isilonda noma insumpa ebonakalayo.

Ukuhlolelwa zonke lezi zifo zocansi ezithathelana ngokocansi, kuzodingeka uthole ukuhlolwa kwegazi, umchamo, kanye ne-swab.

Futhi (!) Futhi udinga ukutshela udokotela wakho ngokusobala ukuthi ungathanda ukuhlolelwa zonke izifo zocansi, kufaka phakathi i-herpes, i-HPV, ne-HIV.

Okufanayo kuya ngezintwala zomphakathi ("izinkalankala") kanye notwayi, okuyinto isazi sezempilo sabesifazane uDkt Sherry A. Ross, umbhali we "She-ology" ne "She-ology, The She-quel," uthi odokotela abaningi ngeke bahlole ngoba ngaphandle kokuthi kunesizathu sokukholelwa ukuthi unayo (aka omunye wabalingani bakho bezocansi unakho).

Kungani ama-STI athile eshiywa ngaphandle?

Odokotela abaningi bayayishiya i-HSV ngaphandle kokuthi umuntu abe nezilonda ezibonakalayo, ngoba i-ayiyincomi kulabo abangenazo izimpawu. Kungani?

Ngokwe-CDC, "ukuxilonga i-herpes yezitho zobulili kumuntu ongenazo izimpawu akukhombisanga ushintsho ekuziphatheni kwabo kwezocansi (isb., Ukufaka ikhondomu noma ukungayi ocansini) futhi akuvimbelanga igciwane ukuthi lisabalale."

Bangeze nokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi kutholakale umphumela olungile wamanga.

Ukuhlolelwa i-HIV kuvame ukushiywa ngaphandle kubantu akunjalo kuthathwa “njengengozi enkulu.” Ngokusho kwamaqembu, "ingozi ephezulu" afaka noma ngubani one:

• ipipi futhi uye walala nomunye umuntu onepipi
• waya ocansini lwangasese noma lwesitho sangasese sowesifazane nomuntu one-HIV
• baye ocansini nabantu abangaphezu koyedwa selokhu bagcina ukuhlolwa i-HIV
• uhlanganyele izinaliti noma usebenzise imithambo yegazi
• wenza umsebenzi wocansi

Ngeshwa, odokotela abaningi abanazo izingxoxo ezidingekayo zokunquma ukuthi ngabe umuntu usengozini enkulu noma cha. Lokhu ekugcineni kusho ukuthi bambalwa abantu abahlolwa kunalokho okufanele kwenziwe.

Ngaphandle kwalokho, ngenxa yokucwaswa kwe-HIV ne-HIV, ezinye iziguli azifuni isimo sazo se-HIV kumarekhodi azo ezokwelapha ngakho-ke ngeke zisayine isiliphu semvume esidingekayo ngaphambi kokuhlolela umuntu i-HIV.

Ukuhlolwa kwe-HPV kuvame ukushiywa ngaphandle ngoba izincomo ukuthi abanikazi bezitho zobulili eziphakathi kweminyaka engama-30 kuya kwengama-65 kuphela banePap smear ehlanganiswe nokuhlolwa kwe-HPV okwenziwa njalo eminyakeni emihlanu.

Uma iminyaka yakho emi-5 ingakakhuli, odokotela abaningi ngeke bahlole.

Ngeke bahlolele izifo zocansi ezithinta ingane ngaphandle uma ubuza ngokusobala

Kunjalo, izifo ezithathelana ngokocansi ezingezona ezemvelo ziyinto!

"Izifo ezithathelana ngokocansi zingabonakala ezindaweni ezinama-mucosal njengomlomo, izindebe, umphimbo, noma indunu," kusho udokotela oqinisekisiwe we-urologist kanye nodokotela wezokwelapha wezinsikazi uDkt Michael Ingber, ne-The Center for Specialized Women’s Health eNew Jersey.

"Okuvame kakhulu i-herpes yomlomo noma i-herpes yekhala, i-condyloma (izinsumpa zangasese) ezingabonakala endunu, ne-gonorrhea ne-chlamydia," usho kanje.

Iningi lodokotela ngeke lenze umphimbo noma i-anal swab ngaphandle kokuthi ubatshele izenzo ezithile zocansi okade uzibandakanya nazo futhi ucela ukuhlolwa.

Ngabe amakhondomu avikela kukho konke?

Ngocansi lwangemuva, lwesitho sangasese sowesifazane nolomlomo phakathi kwabantu ababili abanemithondo, noma phakathi komuntu oyedwa onepipi nomuntu oyedwa onesitho sangasese, “amakhondomu e-latex ayindlela engcono kakhulu yokusiza ukuvimbela ukudluliswa kwe-STI ngesikhathi socansi,” kusho uRoss.

Kodwa-ke, awavikeli ngamaphesenti ayi-100 ezifweni.

"Noma iziphi izifo zocansi ezithathelana ngokuxhumana kwesikhumba nesikhumba - njenge-HSV, i-HPV, ne-trich - zisengadluliselwa nganoma iyiphi indawo engamboziwe yikhondomu," kuchaza uGoodman.

Okufanayo kuya kunoma yikuphi ukuthintana ngengozi kwesikhumba nesikhumba ngaphambi kokuba umgoqo ubekwe.

Noma iyiphi i-STI edluliswa nguketshezi lomzimba - njenge-HPV, i-gonorrhea, i-chlamydia, i-HIV, ne-hepatitis B - ingadluliselwa nganoma yikuphi ukushintshaniswa kuketshezi komzimba okungenzeka kwenzeke ngaphambi ikhondomu ifakiwe.

Isibonelo, uma ichopho lepipi eline-pre-cum lihlikihliwe ngokumelene nesitho sangasese noma indunu ngaphambi kokuqhubeka kwekhondomu, ukudluliswa kwe-STI kungenzeka.

Kuyafaneleka futhi ukuqaphela ukuthi amakhondomu esikhumba sesilwane awavikeli kuma-STI. Zinezimbobo kuzo ezinkulu ngokwanele ukuba izinhlayiya ezithathelwanayo zidlule kuzo.

Amakhondomu ngeke avikele ekudlulisweni kwe-STI ngesikhathi socansi phakathi kwabanikazi ababili bezitho zangasese, noma ngocansi lomlomo olwenziwa kubanikazi bezitho zangasese.

"Uma abanikazi ababili bezitho zobulili behlanganyela ocansini omunye nomunye, kufanele kusetshenziswe amadamu amazinyo noma amakhondomu abuyiselwe kabusha ngesikhathi sokuklanywa nocansi lomlomo ukusiza ukunciphisa ingozi yokuvezwa," kusho uGoodman.

Izithiyo ezinjengamagilavu ​​e-nitrile namacot eminwe kufanele kusetshenziselwe izinto ezifana nokushaya izandla nokukhonkotha.

Ungahlolwa nje ngemuva kocansi?

"Ukuhlolelwa ngemuva nje kocansi ngeke kukunikeze imininingwane yokuthi ngabe wavezwa yini yi-STI evela kozakwethu osanda kwenza naye ucansi," kusho uGoodman.

"Yize ingakunika imininingwane yokuthi ngabe ubusengozini yokuthola izifo zocansi noma cha.

Lokho kungenxa yokuthi ama-STI anenkathi yokufukamela. Lesi yisikhathi esiphakathi kokuqala kwakho ukuxhumana nalesi sifo nalapho umzimba wakho uqaphela futhi ukhiqize amasosha omzimba ukuphendula lesi sifo.

La ma-antibody ayadingeka ukuze isivivinyo sibonise imiphumela emihle.

"Kuzodingeka ulinde isonto elilodwa kuya kwamabili ukuze uhlolwe i-chlamydia, i-gonorrhea, noma i-trichomoniasis," kuchaza uGoodman. "Futhi inyanga eyodwa kuya kwezi-6 ukuthola izifo zocansi ungazihlola ngegazi, njengegcunsula, i-HIV ne-herpes."

Lokho kusho ukuthi, uma unezizathu zokukholelwa ukuthi ubhekene ne-STI - ngokwesibonelo, uye waya ocansini ngaphandle kwesithiyo nomuntu one-STI, noma umgoqo wephuka - khuluma nomhlinzeki wezokunakekelwa kwempilo.

Ukube ubusengozini ye-HIV noma kungenzeka ukuthi ubuyivezile, umhlinzeki wakho angahle anikeze i-antiretroviral postexposure prophylaxis (PEP).

Uma ithathwe kungakapheli amahora angama-72 wokuchayeka, i-PEP ingakusiza ukuvikela ekutholeni i-HIV.

Uma kungenzeka uvezwe ku-chlamydia, i-gonorrhea, noma ugcunsula, umhlinzeki wakho anganikeza isilinganiso se-prophylactic semithi elwa namagciwane ukusiza ukuvimbela ukudluliselwa kwabanye ozakwethu.

Futhi uma uvulekele i-HSV, udokotela wakho angakunikeza i-prophylactic acyclovir noma i-valacyclovir.

Le mithi ayikwazi ukuvimbela ukudluliswa kokutheleleka kwe-herpes, kepha inganciphisa ubungozi bokuqubuka okuyizimpawu.

Kufanele uhlolwe kangaki uma unabalingani abaningi?

"Kungcono ukuhlolelwa izifo zocansi kanye ngonyaka, ngemuva kocansi olungaphephile, noma ngemuva kwawo wonke umlingani omusha - noma yikuphi okuza kuqala," kusho uRoss.

Uphawu oluvame kakhulu lwe-STI alulona uphawu nhlobo, ngakho-ke lo mthetho ume ukuthi ngabe unezimpawu noma cha.

Ungahlola yini ekhaya?

Yebo! Kunenqwaba yezinkampani ezihlinzekela ukunakekelwa kwezempilo eziqonde ngqo kubathengi ezinikezela ukuhlolwa kwe-STI ongakwenza kusuka kwimfihlo yekhaya lakho.

"Amakhithi amaningi asekhaya asezingeni eliphakeme anemba ngokunembile njengoba ungathola ehhovisi likadokotela," kusho uRoss.

Nakhu ukuthi basebenza kanjani. Uzo:

1. Phendula eminye imibuzo online.
2. Oda ukuhlolwa okunconyelwa isayithi.
3. Landela imiyalo (aka shaya umunwe wakho ekuhlolweni kwegazi, chamela kushubhu, noma swab ingaphakathi lesitho sakho sangasese noma ingquza).
4. Thumela isampula emuva ngeposi.
5. Thola imiphumela yakho ku-inthanethi ezinsukwini ezimbalwa.

Uma uthola umphumela omuhle, iningi lalezi zinkampani lizokunikeza ukufinyelela kochwepheshe bezokunakekelwa kwezempilo ukuze uxoxe ngezinyathelo zakho ezilandelayo.

Izinketho ezidumile zifaka amakhithi avela:

• I-LetsGetChecked
• Ukuhlolwa kwe-STD
• I-Nurx
• iDNA

Yize lawa makhithi elungele abantu abangenakho ukufinyelela kudokhumenti ye-IRL, uRoss ugcizelela ukuthi ukuxhumana komuntu onakho nodokotela kubaluleke kakhulu.

"Uma uya kudokotela, unikezwa nokuhlolwa okuphelele [kwezitho zangasese], ukwelulekwa okufanele ngokulawulwa kokubeletha kanye nocansi oluphephile, futhi uyakwazi ukuba nengxoxo ngemibuzo ejwayelekile ongaba nayo mayelana nezifo ezithathelana ngokocansi nezinye izinkinga zezempilo," kusho uthi. URoss.

Yini iphuzu le-Pap smear?

“I-Pap smear wukuhlolwa kokuhlola okwenziwa kubantu abanezitho zangasese ukuhlola ukungahambi kahle komlomo wesibeletho okungadlulela kumdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho futhi kubhekwe ne-HPV,” kusho uRoss.

Ngabe ikhona imigomo ongayithola?

Kunemithi emibili yokugoma etholakalayo yama-STI.

Eyokuqala i-hepatitis B, enikezwa lapho izalwa.

“Futhi enye ye-HPV, ebizwa nge-Gardasil-9, engavikela ezifweni ezi-9 ezahlukahlukene ze-HPV ezibangela amaphesenti angama-90 azo zonke izifo ze-HPV,” kuchaza uRoss.

Umuthi wokugoma owabantu babo bonke ubulili obuphakathi kweminyaka yobudala eyi-9 nengama-45, futhi unikezwa ngomthamo wokudubula kabili noma kathathu.

Kunconywa ukuthi izingane zithole umuthi wokugoma zineminyaka engu-11 noma engu-12, ngakho-ke zivikeleke ngokuphelele ngaphambi kokuba zihlanganyele ngokocansi.

Wazi kanjani ukuthi izimpawu zakho ze-STI, noma enye into?

Awukwazi wedwa! Ukuthola, udinga ukuya kumhlinzeki wezokunakekelwa kwempilo.

"Izimpawu zakho zingakhomba okunye ukugula, yingakho kubalulekile ukuthi uthintane nodokotela ozokwazi ukukusiza ukuthola ukuthi kwenzekani," kusho uChaudry.

Ingabe ziyelapheka zonke izifo zocansi?

Ama-STI amaningi ayelapheka. Lokhu kusho ukuthi inqobo nje uma uzibamba kusenesikhathi futhi uziphathe kahle, zihamba unomphela.

I-STI ayifani nenkukhu. Ukuthola kanye akusho ukuthi uvikelekile ekutholeni futhi.

"Izifo zocansi ezifana ne-HPV, i-herpes, i-hepatitis B, ne-HIV azelapheki futhi zizohlala emzimbeni wakho ngokungapheli," kusho uRoss.

Kodwa-ke, zonke lezi zifo zocansi zingaphathwa ngemithi. Lokhu kuzosiza ukudambisa noma yiziphi izimpawu futhi kwehlise ubungozi bokukudlulisela kubalingani bakho, kusho uGoodman.

Okubalulekile

Izifo zocansi ziyenzeka! Ukuphela kwendlela yokwazi ukuthi unayo yini ukuthi uhlolwe.

Futhi, uma ukhetha indlela yokuhlola esehhovisi, qhubeka ubuze udokotela wakho ngezithiyo ze-freebie. Imitholampilo eminingi inamakhondomu namadamu wamazinyo abakhipha mahhala.

UGabrielle Kassel ungumbhali wezocansi nowezempilo ozinze eNew York noMqeqeshi weCrossFit Level 1. Ube ngumuntu wasekuseni, uvivinye ama-vibrator angaphezu kwama-200, futhi wadliwa, wadakwa, futhi wahluzwa ngamalahle - konke egameni lobuntatheli. Ngesikhathi sakhe samahhala, angatholakala efunda izincwadi zokuzisiza namanoveli othando, ukucindezela ibhentshi, noma ukudansa kwepali. Mlandele ku-Instagram.
