Long-term Health Consequences of Untreated STDs in Tokyo

Maxidus16 Feb, 2025Health

The rising rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in Tokyo, particularly syphilis and gonorrhea, have sparked alarm among public health officials. While the immediate effects of these infections may be manageable with proper treatment, the real danger lies in the long-term consequences of untreated STDs. Untreated cases can lead to serious and sometimes irreversible complications, including infertility, increased susceptibility to HIV, and severe neurological and cardiovascular damage. As the number of untreated infections grows, these long-term health consequences present a significant public health challenge.
