Carrier is called a person, who has a germ or virus inside, which can cause sexually transmitted disease. The carrier does not necessary has any signs or symptoms of the disease, though he transmits the germ or virus to other people, during unprotected sexual contacts
Casual Contacts are usual things, like hugging, kissing, holding hands, wiping tears, playing games, drinking from the same glasses, eating from the same plates, wearing the same clothes, that we do to many other people every day. People do not get any of sexually transmitted diseases this way.
Celibate means that a person has chosen not to have any kind of sexual contacts at all.
Cervical means something that has to do with any kind of neck: either with the neck, on which the head is perched or with the neck of the uterus. The word “CERVIX” is translated as “NECK” from Latin.
Cervical Secretions are fluids (usually whitish in colour), which come out from the cervix through the vagina. People can get sexually transmitted diseases through the cervical secretions.
Cervix is the lower narrow part of the uterus. It forms a kind of a canal, which leads and opens into the vagina.
Clitoris is an organ, located above the female’s vagina, where the folds of flesh come to one point in the upper part of a pubic area of a female, between the labia. This is an extremely sensitive organ, about as big as a pea.
Coitus Interuptus is the kind of oral, vaginal or anal intercourse, which a man stops before he ejaculates. From the point of view of the contraception, this method is considered to be very ineffective.
Communicable is called a virus or a germ, which comes from one carrier or infected person to another without any much difficulty.
Conception is the very moment when the sperm’s entering the egg, fertilizing it, and forming a zygote (a healthy fertilized egg)
Condoms are barrier methods of contraception, made of latex, polyurethane or from natural membranes (animal parts or skins). Condoms may also be lubricated (covered by something water – based) or non - lubricated. There are two kinds of condoms existing:
• Male Condoms cover the penis; they may only be put on an erected penis.
• Female Condoms cover the vagina and the vulva.
Condoms work like a bag; when a man ejaculates, they catch the man’s semen.
All types of condoms prevent from an unplanned pregnancy as well, as from sexually transmitted diseases, if used correctly.
Confidental Testing is a kind of testing for some sexually transmitted diseases, about which only a patient and his doctor might know. In case if there is any other person wants to see the results of this testing, he or she is to receive your permission before.
Congenital is the kind of health condition, which happens at or around the time of birth. This condition may either be acquired or it may also be hereditary.
Contraception is the combination of measures, which people take to prevent an unplanned pregnancy from occurring. There are different methods of contraception, which work in the following ways:
Some methods of contraception prevent ovulation (egg releasing process);
Some of them prevent fertilization (meeting of sperm and egg);
There are also methods of contraception, which prevent the implantation of a pre – embryo into the uterus;
There also exist some barrier methods of contraception, which prevent the very entering of sperm into the vagina.
Contraception Failure occurs, if some method of contraception does not work either because it is generally considered to be ineffective (like douching or withdrawal methods), or because of some definite reason (if a woman forgets to take her oral contraceptive pills, or if the condom breaks or slips off during the sexual contact). If a woman gets pregnant, despite using some method of contraception, it is called the Contraception Failure.
Contraindication is some, mostly health, conditions, which render some line of treatment improper, ineffective or undesirable, because this treatment may cause some health complications or serious side effects.
Culture is used to diagnose some sexually transmitted diseases: herpes, gonorrhea, etc. It is either some particular kind of a substance, used to grow germs; or the very process of taking a specimen form a person or putting it into some particular substance.
Cunnilingus is one of the options of oral sex. It is when female’s genitals are licked, kissed, or sucked. People, who prefer this kind of sex can get infected with one of the sexually transmitted diseases easily through the moisture either from someone’s saliva or vagina. In order to prevent it, a dental dam or plastic wrap should be applied.
Cysts are bid sac – like structures with liquid gaseous or semisolid substances containing tissues. They can be found anywhere in the body, and they are also of different sizes.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a virus from herpes family, it can cause serious health complications, if a person has HIV or some other health condition, which ruins or weakens his immune system; though it is not so dangerous for people, whose immune system is healthy and strong.
