    Gynaecologist warns against oral sex

    Prof. Adegboyega Fawole of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH), has warned that Human Papiloma Virus (HPV) has been found in the throat of people engaging in oral sex.

    Fawole, who is of the Department of Gynaecology, UITH told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin on Tuesday that HPV was mostly sexually transmitted.

    He said that the virus caused almost all cases of cervical cancer and could cause genital warts and anal cancer.

    “Oral sex has been linked with an increased risk of acquiring HPV infection in the mouth and with an increased risk of developing oral cancers that are caused by HPV.

    “However, sex in general has also been linked with these risks,” he said.

    The gynaecologist warned that those engaging in oral sex were twice more likely to have oral HPV infection than those who did not engage in oral sex.

    Fawole, however, said there was no need for individuals in monogamous relationships to restrict their sexual activities if the pair was in good health.

    He called on people to always go for screening and check-up to guard against cancer of any kind.

  • Infertility: Gynaecologist tasks women on routine checks

    Dr. Charles Oti, an Abuja based gynaecologist, has advised sexually active women to go for routine check to detect early symptoms of gonorrhea and other bacteria’s that could lead to infertility.

    Oti gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja.

    The expert described gonorrhea as a common human Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) caused by the bacterium neisseria gonorrhoeae.

    He said that the bacteria were transmitted from one person to another through vaginal, oral or anal sex.

    Oti said that women were at 60 to 80 per cent risk of getting infected from a single act of vaginal intercourse.

    He said that men were at 20 per cent risk of getting infected from a single act of vaginal intercourse with an infected woman.

    According to him, the risk for men who had sex with men was higher, noting that a mother could also transmit gonorrhoea to her new born during child birth.

    The expert said that it affects the infant’s eye, which was referred to as ophthalmia neonatorum.

    However, Oti explained that gonorrhoea cannot be contracted through toilet or bathrooms.

    He further said that the risk of infection can be reduced significantly by using condoms and by having a mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected person.

    Some women with the bacteria are asymptomatic (do not shown signs), whereas others have vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain or pain during intercourse.

    He said that most infected men have symptoms such as urethratis associated with burning during urination and discharge from the penis.

    Gonorrhoea, if left untreated, may last for weeks or months with higher risks of complications.

    “One of which includes systemic dissemination resulting in skin pustules or petechia, septic arthritis, meningitis or endocarditics.

    “In men, inflammation of the epididymis, prostate gland and urethral structure, while in women the most common result of untreated gonorrhoea is pelvic inflammatory disease,’’ said the expert.

    He said that other complications include septic arthritis in the fingers, wrists, toes and ankles; septic abortion; chorioamnionitis during pregnancy, neonatal or adult blindness from conjunctivitis and infertility.

    Oti said that due to the increasing rates of antibiotics resistance local susceptibility patterns must be taken into account when deciding on treatment.

     

  • Beware of deep-throat kissing and oral sex, Microbiologist warns

    Beware of deep-throat kissing and oral sex, Microbiologist warns

     

    Dr Kenneth Iregbu, a Clinical Microbiologist at the National Hospital, Abuja, said on Thursday in Abuja that sexually transmitted diseases  could be contracted through deep-throat kissing and through oral sex.
    Iregbu told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) were infections that had manifested as a disease entity, listing some of those that could be contracted through oral sex as gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV and herpes.He said, however, that kissing and oral sex were not major ways of contracting STDs.“A few of the sexually related infections like gonorrhea; gonorrhoea sometimes maybe carried in the throat, the person carrying it in the throat does not know. The organism, neisseria gonorrhea, can be carried in the throat.“So if a person who is carrying the organism in the throat engages in oral sexual activity, he might contract it from that source. If somebody has syphilitic ulcer on the genital and the partner kisses that organ, he can acquire syphilis.

    “The other aspect which is a very serious one, HIV can be acquired if during the kissing process, assuming one partner has HIV and then he goes so deep in the kissing, you know some kissing end up in blood from the gums, we have heard such stories.

    “And then some people who have bleeding gums and  you  have to get that blood to touch a  braised surface, depending on how long the kissing lasted,  depending on the size of the abrasion, depending on the raw area available, it is  possible to transmit.’’

    The microbiologist said that oral herpes was a virally-transmitted infection that could also be contracted through kissing.

    “You will see some people, once they have fever, they have blisters on their mouth; that is oral herpes; you acquire it from kissing. That is the origin of that one. At least over 98 per cent are from kissing.

    “The fever or stress reactivates it, so that any time you have fever, once you have acquired it, it comes. Once the fever is over like five days to seven days it goes off and comes back again later.

    “The good thing is that once it is not there,  when the person is shedding it that you can acquire it, but if it has gone into latency you may not have it.’’

    Iregbu, however, told NAN that kissing was a social activity that was not bad, but could be bad if it was deep-seated and blood ingestion was involved.

    He advised that kissing should be done normally and in moderation so that no party got injured in the process, putting them in danger.

    “Again I have to emphasise that these are not major routes of acquisition. What I’m saying in effect is that it does not make people to stop kissing, but if you kiss normally, there is no danger about it.

    “But if you go into the deep-seated kissing that elicits blood coming out from one person’s mouth or the other, then there could be some danger.

    “Do it normally, moderately, you don’t go and injure someone in the name of kissing. If you have a mouth ulcer or a bleeding gum, don’t go kissing people.

    “Either parties, everyone should know what constitutes danger to the other party.’’ (NAN)
