Sitting Toilet No Sex Can Spread Disease

Jakarta, Many people are afraid to use existing toilet seat in public places because they can transmit venereal disease. But in fact the toilet seat is not a medium of transmission of venereal disease.

Disease
sex or also known as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are diseases that can be transmitted through unprotected vaginal, oral and anal sex. In addition, the use of unsterile needles, childbirth and breast-feeding and blood transfusions can also be.

"Toilet seat is not a medium of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases," said Dr. Sophia Yen, MD, adolescent health specialist at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in Palo Alto, Calif., as reported from Health.com, Thursday (17/06/2010).

It is also justified Dr. Samuel L. Simon SpKK, skin specialist and gender of the Omni International Hospital, Jakarta, in consultation detikHealth health.

"Infectious diseases are transmitted through sexual activity can not be transmitted from a trip to the mall or public toilets. If it really is so, surely there will be people who do not want a trip to the mall or using a public toilet seat," said the doctor who is also practicing Siloam Specialist clinic clover.

STDs can be caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and protozoa. The organisms that cause sexually transmitted disease or infection can not survive outside the body for long periods, especially on a hard surface and cold.

In addition, the organism also requires a certain environment to be developed, and this is not a toilet seat in public places.

Dr. Yen said, nothing to worry about the transmission of STDs is not a public toilet seat, but the contact between the skin to the skin or mouth to mouth. It is sometimes not too concerned, but also can transmit STDs.

For example kissing, mouth to mouth contact can also transmit herpes. Kissing can also transmit in oral gonorrhea (gonorrhea) and chlamydia. But the chances of transmission through contact with mouth to mouth is not too large compared to the oral genital contact (oral sex).

Skin to skin contact can also transmit venereal disease, which is an infection of genital warts, herpes, genital scabies, and pubic lice.
