CİNSEL YOLLA BULAŞAN HASTALIKLARIN TARANMASI VE TEDAVİ PROTOKOLLERİNİN KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Kadınlarda vulvovajinal yakınmalar sağlık kuruluşlarına başvurma sebepleri arasında ilk sıralarda yer almaktadır.Vulvovajinal enfeksiyonlar, ayrıca  kadınlarda cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıkların başvuru şikayetleri arasında da önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıklar kadınlarda kalıcı üreme sağlığı problemlerine sebep olabilirler. Bu durum vulvovajinal enfeksiyon bulgularıyla sağlık kuruluşlarına gelen hasta popülasyonunda cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıkların mutlaka ortaya çıkarılması konusundaki önemi göstermektedir. Günümüzde vulvovajinal enfeksiyon sebebi olan Kandida Albikans, Gardnarella Vajinalis, Trichomonas Vajinalis, N.Gonore ve Sifiliz gibi bakteriyel, parazitel yada mantarlara bağlı nedenler toplam vulvovajinal enfeksiyonların %80’ini oluşturmaktadır. Yapılan bu kesitsel araştırma ile indirekt yoldan Türkiye’deki cinsel yollardan bulaşan hastalıkların sıklığı ile ilgili bilgi sahibi olunması ve tedavi seçeneklerinin karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır.

COMPARISON OF SCREENING AND TREATMENT PROTOCOLS OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES

Vulvovaginal complaints are one of the top reasons for applying to medical institutions in women. Vulvovaginal infections also take an important place in chief complaints in sexually transmitted diseases in women. Sexually transmitted diseases can cause permanent reproductive health problems in women. This situation shows the importance of the fact that sexually transmitted diseases must be diagnosed in patient population who apply to medical institutions with vulvovaginal infection symptoms. Today bacterial, parasitic and fungal vulvovaginal infection causes like Candida Albicans, Gardnerella Vaginalis, Trichomonas Vaginalis, N. Gonorrhoeae, Syphilis make up 80% of the total vulvovaginal diseases. In this cross-sectional study, having information on the frequency of sexually transmitted diseases in Turkey indirectly and comparison of treatment options are aimed.
