Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can affect both men and women. The warning signs of STDs in men may vary depending on the specific infection, but some common signs and symptoms to watch out for include:
- Pain or burning during urination
- Discharge from the penis
- Sores, bumps or blisters on the genitals or anus
- Pain or discomfort during sex
- Swollen or tender testicles
- Itching or irritation in the genital area
- Flu-like symptoms, such as fever, chills, and body aches
It’s important to note that some STDs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, may not show any symptoms at all, so it’s important to get tested regularly if you’re sexually active. If you experience any of the above symptoms or suspect that you may have been exposed to an STD, it’s important to seek medical attention and get tested as soon as possible.
