Stay-at-home orders, coupled with a fear of exposure to COVID-19, seemingly kept many people confined at home and out of the arms of unknown partners throughout much of 2020. But in a counterintuitive twist, experts are warning of a probable—and alarming—increase in cases of sexually transmitted infections in the United States. The main concern is that the pandemic hampered testing efforts for diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis during the past two years. Testing is a critical part of controlling the spread of these infections, in part because both chlamydia and gonorrhea can initially appear without any symptoms. Between 2015 and 2019, documented cases of all three diseases had increased by 30 percent. Then, from 2019 to 2020, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data suggested that chlamydia cases dropped by 14 percent, while cases of primary and secondary stages of syphilis experienced a modest decline of 0.9 percent. But experts now say this dip was not real,

You may be able to beat recurrent BV by getting more probiotics in your diet via food or a supplement. Image Credit: Moyo Studio/E+/GettyImages In This Article Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is just one of the many unpleasant conditions that people with vaginas can experience, but it's especially annoying when it's recurring. BV that keeps coming back could be connected to your sex life, hygiene routine or something else. Video of the Day The vagina contains many bacterial organisms that help keep it healthy, says Jodie Horton, MD, urogynecologist and chief advisor for Love Wellness. But if that bacterial balance goes out of whack, BV can happen. "The most dominant bacteria are lactobacilli, which help maintain a healthy vaginal pH between 3.8 to 4.5 and keep the organisms in balance," Dr. Horton says. "BV occurs when lactobacilli decreases and there's an overgrowth of bacteria called Gardnerella vaginalis or Prevo

Chlamydia is a curable sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) , chlamydia is the most frequently reported bacterial STI in the United States. In 2018, there were approximately 4 million chlamydial infections among people ages 15–39 years. Because this STI is a bacterial infection, it's treated with antibiotics. The two most common antibiotic treatments for chlamydial infections are azithromycin and doxycycline. Azithromycin is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved antibiotic used to treat genital chlamydia. It works to cure chlamydia by stopping the bacteria from multiplying. Adults and adolescents who are experiencing symptoms associated with chlamydia can take azithromycin for treatment. Though many people with chlamydia are asymptomatic (they don't show symptoms), common symptoms can include: abnormal discharge pain while urinating pain in the lower abdomen (in those assigned female

The itching, irritation, and burning symptoms of a yeast infection can be very uncomfortable. However, there are many over-the-counter (OTC) treatments that effectively treat yeast infections, allowing you to skip the trip to the doctor's office.

Also called vaginal candidiasis, vaginal yeast infections affect up to 75 percent of people with a vagina at some point in their lifetime. Vaginas typically have a balance of good bacteria and yeast.

In early 2020 it was speculated that ibuprofen could worsen Covid symptoms. The World Health Organisation (WHO) warns that this is unsupported by the research. Research has examined the effect of multiple similar drugs, including ibuprofen and aspirin on both adults and children. In a scientific briefing the WHO said: "At present there is no evidence of severe adverse events, acute health care utilization, long-term survival, or quality of life in patients with COVID-19, as a result of the use of NSAIDs."

Heparin is a common blood thinner that has been in use for decades. Australian National University researchers are coordinating multiple studies aiming to prove it is effective in preventing severe disease among coronavirus patients when inhaled directly into the lungs. ANU Professor Frank van Haren simulates administering inhaled heparin. Credit: Kate Geraghty ANU study lead Professor Frank van Haren said initial results indicate the drug could be "a promising treatment" and also "a possible preventative against the virus" with breathing and oxygen levels improving in 70 per cent of patients after they inhaled a course of heparin. "If it is as effective as our early results suggest, it could have a major

An estimated 1.27 million people around the world died directly from antimicrobial-resistant bacterial infections in 2019, according to a study published Jan. 19 in The Lancet.  Antimicrobial resistance was also a factor in nearly 5 million deaths globally, the estimates show.  Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the six leading pathogens involved in the deaths in the study, responsible for 929,000 deaths attributed to resistance. These pathogens were also behind another 3.57 million deaths associated with resistance.  Western sub-Saharan Africa had the highest all-age death rate attributable to resistance at 27.3 deaths per 100,000, while Australia, New Zealand and neighboring islands had the lowest at 6.5 deaths per 100,000.  The estimates make the global death toll higher than that of HIV and malaria, based on the "Global Burden
