What are the common STDs in females?

Common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in females include:

1. Chlamydia: This bacterial infection is often asymptomatic, but can cause pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, and fever. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications, including infertility and ectopic pregnancy.

2. Gonorrhea: This bacterial infection can affect the cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes. Symptoms may include pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, and painful urination. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications, including infertility and ectopic pregnancy.

3. Human papillomavirus (HPV): This viral infection is the most common STD. It can cause genital warts, which are small, fleshy bumps that grow on the vulva, vagina, or cervix. In some cases, HPV can also lead to cervical cancer.

4. Herpes simplex virus (HSV): This viral infection can cause sores or blisters on the genitals, anus, or mouth. HSV-1 typically causes oral herpes, while HSV-2 typically causes genital herpes.

5. Syphilis: This bacterial infection can progress through several stages, from a painless sore to a rash and eventually to severe damage to the organs and nervous system. If left untreated, it can be fatal.

6. Trichomoniasis: This parasitic infection is often asymptomatic, but can cause vaginal itching, burning, and irritation. If left untreated, it can increase the risk of contracting other STDs.

7. Bacterial vaginosis (BV): This is a common vaginal infection caused by an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina. Symptoms may include a fishy odor, itching, and burning. BV can increase the risk of contracting other STDs.

8. Candidiasis (yeast infection): This is a fungal infection that can cause vaginal itching, burning, and irritation. It is often treated with antifungal medications.
