December and the rise in STIs by Livy-Elcon Emereonye

There’s something unique about the human species. The way we are wired plays vital roles in our belief systems, and our belief shape our motif and actions.

With the belief that the year ends in December, most of us run amok in pursuit of amorphous celebration and in the process become entangled on the web of preventable problems.

Many people throw away their hard-earned money and savings within a day because of incorrect assumptions.

As we get swept up in the celebration madness, we risk ending up with both financial burdens and health issues. Certain individuals put themselves and others at risk based on mistaken beliefs and presumptions regarding December, behaving as though tomorrow may never come.

Why December?

What happens in December?

One might suggest that December brings about the greatest level of frivolous spending in households each year. People often exhaust most of their savings accumulated throughout the year in December. Individuals misuse money on necessary and unnecessary clothing, food, trips, and events in their quest for acceptance and status. To fulfill both real and imagined expectations, we often push ourselves beyond our limits, which leads to consequences.

In December, nearly all prices increase, and the crime rate follows suit. Those who cannot satisfy their aspirations rely on shortcuts and illicit approaches.

Instances of sexual promiscuity soar to new heights. Individuals engage in casual sex, often without protection and with several partners. Certain women view it as the simplest method to get money from men, while some men think it is the sole means of receiving something in return for their financial contributions and generosity. Every individual exchanges one thing for another.

Much like a billy goat, humans find themselves in an excited state, moving towards something that delivers swift outcomes.

Simply put, sex functions like electricity; you can sense its effects instantly. Individuals who have lost their virginity will feel overwhelmed by the thrill of eroticism, eagerly expecting their next encounter, while those with more experience may take a subtler approach to seducing friends and acquaintances—and some have succeeded!

Everyone knows that sexuality can be enjoyable, but engaging in it for the wrong reasons with the wrong partner can lead to lasting consequences.

Engaging in illicit sex can lead to unintended pregnancies, illegal abortions, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), family breakdowns, and in extreme cases, even murder.

In December, contraceptive pills and devices fly off the shelves like inexpensive bottled water.

Even though there is a high demand for condoms and emergency contraceptive pills, many women, due to a lack of knowledge, turn to drug abuse as a method of contraception. They utilize various brands of liver salts, take a capsule or two of antibiotics like ampicillin or cloxacillin, and mix in table salt, soda water, and pepper among other things to ‘prevent pregnancy.’

After engaging in unprotected sex, many men experience symptoms similar to menstruation a few days later. They have soaked pants. Many people report experiencing a pulsing sensation from the penis accompanied by itching and a painful burning feeling while urinating. Any man who faces this experience will not just sit back. This situation probably indicates Gonorrhea, although other STIs and UTIs can show similar signs and symptoms, leading individuals to seek treatment and a cure in various places.

Gonorrhea is treatable and curable. Considering that cost-effectiveness differs from being inexpensive, any patient who consults a skilled clinician will achieve positive outcomes.

Women often do not recognize the signs and symptoms of Gonorrhea and other STIs as easily as men because of anatomical and physiological differences, which may lead some to unknowingly spread the infection.

It’s important that healthcare professionals should always counsel their patients on the need for their partners to be treated as well ( so as to curtail the spread) even though it would be revolted against with a wave of masculine ego saying, “I no fit. I no go near hear again.”

The interconnectedness of sexual relationships becomes evident when one individual mentions Gonorrhea, as it usually results in other cases emerging within days.

It’s advantageous to be careful.
