UK Health Radio Medical News Update - Safe Summer Sex

UK Health Radio – Medical News Update

Now that school is out for summer and we relax into the holiday season, I thought it might be worth saying a little about reminders of our holidays that might not be so welcome.  An unwanted pregnancy can be a disaster for everyone concerned.  The worry for a young girl who is perhaps still at school just starting college will be immense and it will be a very strong young woman that is able to keep on studying and start a career once they have a baby to care for.   Babies and children are great but they are really a blessing when they arrive at the right time.  If you use a condom you can decide when the time is right to start a family.   At that time the joy will be doubled by the fact that you have been in control of your life and the important decisions have been made at the right time when you can enjoy the experience of being a parent because the pregnancy and the start of your life as a family has been planned.

The other reason that people use condoms is to protect themselves against sexually transmitted diseases.  While it is true that a lot of sexually transmitted infection can be dealt with by using the right medicine, some conditions like herpes and Chlamydia can have long-term effects. 

Infection with Chlamydia can affect fertility.  If you are infected with Chlamydia then the chances are that you may have trouble conceiving when the time is right and you are ready to start a family. It may well be that the damage done from a Chlamydial infection will make it impossible for you to have a family, however much you want one.

Genital herpes is another condition that will be with you for life if you contract it.  Flare-ups can be very painful and the condition, although it can be controlled with drugs, will never be eradicated entirely.   This is a condition that using a condom cannot always prevent but there is no doubt that this and many other types of sexually transmitted infections will be less likely if you do use a condom.

There is a huge range of condoms available that should please even the fussiest of users and will lead to peace of mind.

It is always the best idea to use condoms so that you will have complete control over your life and whether or not you have a family.  Taking control is the smart choice so make sure that this summer the holiday pics on your phone are the only permanent reminders you have of that carefree time.
