It's a little-known fact that sexually transmitted diseases may involve not only the genitalia but also the digestive tract. Shigellosis, giardiasis, and amebiasis are the most common of the sexually transmitted digestive diseases. They can also be passed along in food and water contaminated by infected individuals who fail to wash their hands properly. Symptoms generally include watery or even bloody diarrhea associated with severe abdominal pain. Without treatment, an attack may last from days to weeks.
Therapy depends on the type of infection.
These diseases should always be treated by a physician. Healthsquare is solely to be used as an informational resource and should never be used to replace contact with your licensed healthcare provider.
