vivie nonesuch: Do All Women Need Protection From Sexually Transmitted Diseases ...

Do all women need protection from sexually transmitted diseases can be a very sensitive subject when discussing women?s health care. There is a fine line between what women need and what their morals affect and it should be a personal decision for every woman. A decision about health protection should not be taken lightly either.

Vaccinations protecting a woman from cervical cancer for instance may be very important for women of any age who are sexually active with different partners. However, a woman who is faithful and is married to the same partner, assuming that partner is also faithful may not? be in need of the vaccine that protects against cervical cancer. This is just one example of what a vaccine does to protect a woman and how her personal choices and life style influence what protection she might need.

Birth control methods should not be considered necessarily a protection against a sexually transmitted disease. The birth control pill for instance does not protect a woman against HIV/Aids, chlamydia, or any venereal disease. It protects against pregnancy only.

A woman has many choices about her health and her sexual health should always be at the top of the list when thinking about protection and prevention. Routine pelvic exams and breast exams by a reliable health care provider are an essential part of women?s health. Make it your goal to make your appointment soon if you have not had a check up within the last year. It could mean your health. You can discuss your lifestyle and your concerns about prevention at your appointment so that you are doing all you can to protect your female health.
