Protected sex is one of the best ways to reduce the chances of contracting STIs.

Treatable inflammation of the glans (head) of the penis, causing swelling, itching and redness.
Happens most often in uncircumcised males.
When the foreskin is also affected, it is termed Balanoposthitis.

Can also be the result of an allergic reaction to certain drugs like aspirin or tetracycline.
Treating the underlying cause often clears up symptoms.
Antibiotic and antifungal creams are common treatments.

(6) Hepatitis

Five types: A & E are are self-limiting; B, C & D are cureless; B is preventable with a vaccine.

Treatable disease, an infection affecting the female reproductive organs.
Comes primarily as a complication of untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia.
