Concept:
- Reproductive tract infection -> Infection of the reproductive tract.
- Causes -> natural events like menstruation, pregnancy, and child birth.
- Symptoms -> Backache to lower abdominal pain, Genital ulcers, Vulval itching, Inguinal swelling and Abnormal vaginal discharge.
- Complications -> pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, caervical cancer, chronic pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy and abortion.
Explanation:
- Reproductive tract infections (RTI) include three types of infection.
- Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) -> chlamydia, gonorrhea, chancroid and HIV.
- Endogenous infections -> bacterial vaginosis or vulvovaginal candidiasis.
- Iatrogenic infections -> unsafe abortion or poor delivery practices.
- RTIs are preventable and many diseases are treatable as well.
- 100% cotton is breathable and absorbs moisture, which reduces the risk of yeast infections and bacterial vaginitis.
- Rest of the options increase the risk of reproductive tract infections.
- Douching has been associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical cancer, low birth weight, ectopic pregnancy, infertility and RTIs.
- Using a latex male condom or a female condom can greatly reduce, but not entirely eliminate the risk of HIV and STD transmission.
- Tight-fitting jeans are also linked to vaginal irritation, yeast infection and bacterial vaginosis.
