Although there are a number of sexual health facts that people need to be aware of, the most important ones relate to sexually transmitted diseases. It is very important to gain more knowledge on different types of STD’s so that one can be more careful and avoid getting infected. Sexually transmitted diseases as the name suggests spread through sexual intercourse. Some of the most common sexually transmitted diseases are Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and HIV/AIDS. Although Chlamydia and gonorrhea are still treatable, preventing them is much better than trying to treat them. Reading up on important sexual health facts not only helps you stay informed but also helps you avoid serious medical problems. With the number of problems rising with respect to sexual health of men and women, some governing bodies in different parts of the world actually came up with sexual health strategies to control the spread of STD’s and other sexual conditions. The main aim of any sexual health strategy is to reduce the transmission of STD’s, reduce the prevalence of undiagnosed cases of STD’s, reduction of unintended pregnancies, reduce stigma associated with STD’s and improve the health and living conditions for people suffering from STD’s.
It is therefore very important for every individual to take the required precautionary measures for maintaining good sexual health. Failure to follow the basic sexual health instructions can result in medical problems like HIV/AIDS, pelvic inflammatory diseases, cervical cancer, other types of genital cancer, hepatitis, chronic liver disease, bacterial vaginosis, premature birth, stillbirth, abortions and recurrent genital herpes. Other than sexually transmitted diseases knowing about other sexual problems is also very important for maintaining good sexual health. Sexual dysfunction, sexual allergies, erectile dysfunctions and ejaculation problems are also very common and can be treated medically. Other than the usual medical techniques to improve sexual health, there are also numerous sexual health techniques practiced in forms of yoga. Kundalini yoga focuses on enhancing the sexual parts of the body and helps in improving an individual’s sex life. Similarly the 12 poses practiced in the Surya Namaskar (sun salutation) helps in expanding the nerves in the pelvic girdle which is the sexual core of the body. The sexual hormones are also stimulated and a new sexual equilibrium can be health but also treats various sexual problems in both men and women.
