Fever
Fever as a symptom of STD has many negative impacts on men. Men are less likely to pay attention to the symptoms of STDs and often ignore them. When they do build up the courage to seek medical help, by that time, their STD may have become so advanced that it is difficult to treat. This can lead to further complications and even permanent disability. Therefore, when a man has a fever, they must know that an STD could cause it.
A fever occurs when the body temperature is elevated by more than 1 degree Celsius. An immune response to an infection causes an increase in body temperature. The immune system generates a cascade of chemical reactions that cause blood vessels to dilate and blood to flow, resulting in a higher core body temperature.
Infections are one of the most common causes of fevers. Many bacterial infections can cause a fever as an immune response to the invading bacteria. In addition, some viruses (such as HIV) can also cause high fevers.
