    Whether condoms and IUDs can prevent STDs?

    Whether condoms and IUDs can prevent STDs?

    Q: Can condoms and IUDs reduce the risk of STDs?

    Doctor replied:

    For condoms

    Condom is an effective way to prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), which communicate through genital secretions such as semen or vaginal secretions. These diseases include HIV, Chlamydia, and Gonorrhea. When having sex, a condom ensures the patient’s secretion does not contract directly with their partner’s mucous membranes to avoid transmission. 

    However, not all STDs are transmitted through genital fluids but skin-to-skin contacts like Syphilis, Herpes, or Chickenpox. 

    Therefore, condoms are a practical measure to protect against STDs, except these are transmitted skin-to-skin. Moreover, it would help if you used condoms correctly from the beginning to afford the best protection. 

    For the IUDs

    STDs are transmitted through secretions skin-to-skin. So IUDs cannot prevent STDs.

    MASKED HYPERTENSION
    Masked hypertension refers to a condition where a patient’s blood pressure (BP) appears normal (below 140/90 mmHg) when measured in a clinical setting but exceeds the threshold of 135/85 mmHg when measured outside the clinic, such as at home or with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) over 24 hours. The concern with masked hypertension is that it often goes unnoticed, yet it poses significant health risks. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications such as kidney failure, vision loss, heart failure, and an increased risk of stroke.
