British doctors said the country was facing a gonorrhea epidemic. Sexual Health Association President John McSorley said in an interview with the Daily Star that immediately after the restrictions are lifted, sexually transmitted diseases will spike in London and other major cities. According to experts, during the quarantine period, the number of patients visiting specialists for the treatment of gonorrhea and syphilis decreased by 85 percent. But this does not mean that the number of infected people has decreased.
McSorley recalled that social distancing will be the main preventive measure for STDs, as in the case of coronavirus. And those who have discovered symptoms of the disease, the doctor asks to come to the doctor and start treatment without delay. To avoid the collapse of the healthcare system in the future due to the spread of gonorrhea and syphilis.
