Can STDs be cured?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Bacterial STDs can be cured with antibiotics if treatment begins early enough. Viral STDs cannot be cured, but you can manage symptoms with medications. There is a vaccine against hepatitis B, but it will not help if you already have the disease.

I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant and wondering if it's safe to get my eyebrows threaded. Could it affect the baby in any way?

They are often found incidentally during routine gynecological exams and don't usually cause symptoms or require medication. However, if they become large, cause discomfort, or are suspected of being infected, medical evaluation and potentially treatment may be necessary
