Ignored cases of STIs can affect the fertility in men


Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are that one aspect of sexual life which many of us dread.

Many of us do not talk openly about it and hesitate going to a doctor. Ignoring STIs gives it a scope to advance and affects the quality of life including fertility.

STIs should also be taken care of as they can be easily transmitted from one sexual partner to another.

Here are few signs of STIs which are exclusively seen in the private body parts of men. Knowing these signs can help one identify the problem quickly and get it treated medically.

2/6

​Burning sensation while urinating​


This is a classic sign of STI seen in men. Women also experience this when they have similar complications.

This common penile symptom is accompanied by the urge to urinate more frequently and feeling a sharp pain while urinating.

3/6

​Unexplained discharge from penis​


Another symptom of STI which men should never ignore is abnormal discharge from penis.

It can be fluid discharge with no smell, or colored discharge.

Sometimes the fluid discharge has a foul smell which needs medical attention.

4/6

​Difficulty while ejaculating​


STIs make it difficult for the men to ejaculate during copulation.

If you have been experiencing this for a long time do not hesitate and visit a doctor.

This symptom is characterized by extreme pain and discomfort while having sex and during ejaculation.

5/6

​Pain in the abdomen​


Yes! You would be surprised to know that unexplained pain in the abdomen, particularly the lower abdomen can be due to STI.

For example, this is a classic sign of Chlamydia in which the person feels pain while urinating and has foul smelling discharge from penis.

6/6

​Itchy bumps in the private area​


Do not panic immediately after seeing red bumpy rashes on your private areas; this might be because of unclean habits like not cleaning those areas properly, or not washing off the soap properly from that place or wearing dirty underwear.

But if the issue persists for a few days, do not delay further and get it tested.
