Patient's question:
Can condoms prevent sexually transmitted diseases?Doctor's answer:
Condoms are not only useful for contraception, but they also play a role in preventing the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). However, wearing a condom during sexual intercourse does not guarantee absolute protection against contracting STDs. It only reduces the risk of contracting STDs when engaging in sexual activity with a condom. Therefore, to prevent the transmission of STDs, it is still recommended to have a fixed sexual partner and avoid high-risk sexual behaviors.
