Can maasturbation  cause Syphilis?
138364
No. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease. You can only get it through sexual contact with another person. Touching yourself is a solo act, so there's no danger of syphilis. Your skin is likely irritated from the dried semen sitting on it overnight. Take extra time to clean up and you should be fine. Also, make sure you are using a lubricant, as this could be a chafing issue as well.

Sorry to hear that and I know how uncomfortable they can be. My best guesses are: Are you taking antibiotics such as tetracycline? They've been known to cause infections like this. Also, it may be an allergic reaction to your undergarments (I like cotton for this reason) and/or pantyhose. It could be from tight clothing rubbing, feminine hygiene products or perhaps an overly vigorous sex life. The other thing it might be is some sort of imflammation due to an infection such as candidiasis or cervicitis (especially if there's itching). In any case, since you are experiencing these regularly (you don't say how often though) a trip to your doctor is in order. This is a fairly common type of situation and your doctor will know best how to treat it. I've found some relief with taking acidophilis tablets, but you really need to see your doctor to rule anything serious out since there's a good chance it won't go away on its own and will keep recurring. \nI wish you well.

It's possible, and more likely if you use a condom, but not certain.  If I can expand beyond the scope of your original question, one of the dangers of chlymidia is that many people who have the disease don't show symptoms, and even the tests for Chlymidia are not always accurate.  For that reason, in my experience in sexually active communities, people who have been with partners who have chlymidia are usually treated (with a simple antibiotic) for chlymidia even in the absence of symptoms or a positive chlymidia test.\n\nI am not a doctor, this is what I've observed, but if you've had sex with someone known to have contracted chlymidia, I might suggest seeing a doctor.

It's funny how people on here love to jump to conclusions before they hear the person asking the question's full statement!I don't think it is possible to get a STD if you are not sexually active so that cancels that horrific scenario out, you could be allergic to a certain material used in your undergarments, or if you use like a feminine deodorant spray such as fds, it could be causing a reaction, the worst it could be is a possible yeast infection and instead of using over the counter methods or drugs it would probably be safe to consult with your doctor.

Yes it is possible. The best thing to do is be seen by a doctor. A yeast infection tends to grow in dark warm moist areas. Yogert helps with yeast infections. A low immune system and antibiotic use can cause a yeast infection. I hope this helps. Incase you want to know-it doesnt mean you are gay because you have a yeast infection in your "butt". I still would recommend seeing a doctor to make sure that you have correctly self-diagnosed yourself.

Just say "no it's not true, but my brother has syphillis'

You could be having an allergic reaction to either the type of material the vibrator is made from or whatever lube (if any) you are using.

The "cause" is sexual attraction and hormonal secretions.  The RESULT can be pregnancy or total satisfaction.

Signs and Symptoms of Syphilis for Men\n\nSyphilis is characterized by four stages. There is an incubation period between of 9 days and 3 months between getting syphilis and showing the first signs and symptoms of the disease. The initial infection starts with about 1000 germs passed on during sex. This bacteria grow to about 100 to 200 million within 3 weeks.\nEach stage has typical symptoms but these signs and symptoms of syphilis can vary or be absent.\n\nSigns and Symptoms of Primary Stage Syphilis\nThe primary stage of syphilis, often begins with a sore on the part that has been in contact with the infection, the genitals, rectum or mouth. The sore feels like a button, firm, oval and round. It usually measures about 1.25com or 1/2in across. \nSigns and Symptoms of Secondary Stage Syphilis\nFrom the primary stage the disease moves into the secondary stage of syphilis. This secondary stage of syphilis can often occur after a gap of several weeks when the bacteria have spread through the body. You may start to feel unwell, features include headaches, general aches and pains, sickness, loss of appetite and maybe a fever.\nBreaks in the skin occur and sometimes a dark red rash. The rash that occurs in the secondary stage of syphilis can last for a few weeks or months.\nThe latent stage of syphilis can last from between a few months to up to 50 years! There are no symptoms and after about 2 years the man ceases to be infectious. However syphilis is still present in the latent stage and syphilis can be seen in blood tests.\n\nSigns and Symptoms of Final Stage Tertiary Syphilis\nThe final stage of syphilis, is known as the tertiary stage. The tertiary stage occurs in about a third of those who are not treated. Common symptoms are painful permanent ulcers on the skin, lesions on ligaments, joints and on bones. Tertiary syphilis can attack the nervous system, the heart and blood vessels that results in blindness, paralysis, and insanity. \ni hope this helps u withur research...\nenjoy........

Yes it could be, you need to see a doctor.  The virus that cause std can lay dormant for years, and flare up at any time.

If soap helped we would all know about it.  Hopefully you were using protection.  If not you need to get tested and quick!! There is the chance that you did not get infected but there is also the chance that you did.  Please go and find out for sure.

they can happen during any activity that induces them (sex, o*** sex, m*st*rb*t**n, etc). Go to Barnes and Noble.. they have a slew of books that can help you in this area. don't be ashamed of not knowing anything about this subject, for some reason our society has deemed everything sexual taboo so no one teaches us anything.

Yes, and transmission through sexual contact is the most common form of transmission for adults...so play safe.

Yes, there are side effects, in fact the government, along with the christian right, has required side effect notification, like you see on Tylenol bottles, for anyone who does masurbate. So, I am so glad I have gotten to you before you started, cuz most people start at a very young age, before they can even spell masurbation, and then it is to late for them.  So I am so glad that you have come here first, for advice, on what is now, and should be a very public issue.  The terrorists love the death and destruction masurbation instills in us, they know, as does God,  the punishment for such atrocities. In fact, if I were you, I would get to the nearest church, carrying a big sign about what masurbation is doing to your poor friend Angela, sorry it is to late to save her, but you can save everyone else and you must remember, it is your christian duty to spread the word.  The side effects for masurbation is hairy palms.......And God just saw you look, tell me, do you like warm climates?

As chihuahua rightly said, there are exceptions. Other organisms (not mentioned in that wikipedia link) include Mycobacteria Leprae (causes leprosy) as well as Treponema Pallidum (causes syphilis).\n\nAlso, there are modifications done to the original Koch's postulates, now known as the 'Molecular Koch's Postulates'. These involve isolating & modifying specific virulence gene for studies with models of infection.\n\nWhy is it important for the HIV virus to satisfy Koch's postulates, anyway? The postulates are used to establish that a specific micro-organism is the cause of a particular disease. That's all. The guy is obviously not 100% correct with all micro-organisms.
