STDs or sexually transmitted diseases is a common term used to describe the infections of urethra, vagina, mouth or anus caused by various microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, and fungi). Chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital and oral herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), and syphilis are common types of STDs. These infections are usually transmitted during any type of sexual contact with the infected person. Most of the STDs don't have any specific symptoms and that makes the condition difficult to diagnose and treat. There is a list of complications that can result from an active STI, including some serious ones such as ectopic pregnancy, enhanced transmission of HIV, pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility.
