Freedoms regained after corona lockdowns also harbor problems.
British doctors warn of the rise of a dangerous infectious disease.
In regions with low corona incidences, clubs, bars and pubs open - much to the delight of those willing to party. People also become more active on the horizontal plane. A healthy affair if it weren't for the sexually transmitted diseases.
Especially people who frequently change their cohabiting partner are at risk
. The post-corona period does the rest: Many are downright starved and have a lot of desire, according to the assumption of British experts.
According to
the British portal
Daily Star
,
these warn of
a wave of venereal diseases such as gonorrhea in the summer.
Dr. Gigi Taguri speaks of a "super gonorrhea" that is currently spreading. Gonorrhea is the medical term for gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted disease that is caused by an infection with bacteria (gonococci). "Super gonorrhea" is a dangerous form of the disease because the bacteria that cause it have developed resistance to antibiotics.
Taguri fears that this dangerous sexually transmitted disease could spread even more in the context of the relaxed corona measures.
In recent years "super gonorrhea" has been diagnosed with increasing frequency, according to the doctor. The infection rates have risen noticeably with the lifting of the restrictions between the individual coronavirus lockdowns, it continues from
Daily Star
quotes.

Get tested for sexually transmitted diseases: Google search queries achieve maximum values
Online search queries would also show that more and more people at least suspect that they have contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
For example, the search query “STI tests” (the abbreviation STI stands for sexually transmitted infections) has increased by 1,000 percent in the last twelve months,
as has the
Daily Star
reported. The analysis tool Google Trends showed a high point in the search query on July 5th after England won their last European Championship game at the weekend, it said. "Whenever the lock-out restrictions have been relaxed, there has been evidence that the rate of STI infections is increasing," said Dr. Gigi Taguri, Head of Medical Technology at Lloyds Pharmacy: “Pubs are open without restrictions, while clubs and festivals are starting up again. It will be a paradise for singles who have been locked up for much of the past 18 months, ”Taguri said.
Her strong recommendation:
Get tested for sexually transmitted diseases before having sex with a new partner.
Because diseases like gonorrhea can lead to serious problems if left untreated.
These include chronic inflammation of the internal genital organs with persistent pain, sticking of the egg or spermatic ducts and thus infertility.
