Oral sex, alcohol and smoking can cause mouth cancer

Oral sex, smoking, drinking too much alcohol and a poor diet can increase the risk of mouth cancer. More than nine in ten mouth cancers are linked to lifestyle factors and the only way to curb this risk is by quitting or reducing habits such as smoking and drinking of alcohol.

Some types of oral cancer are linked to sexually transmitted human papilloma virus (HPV) infection in the mouth and throat. Being diagnosed with mouth cancer remains fairly unlikely but could happen to anybody so it is really important to know what to look for and be proactive in looking for the early warnings signs.

Lookout for mouth ulcers that do not heal within three weeks, red or white patches and unusual lumps and swellings. Places to check include the floor and roof of your mouth, inside of the cheeks, gums, tongue, lips, head and neck. If you notice any of these, please make an appointment with your dentist.

Throats can serve as reservoirs for gonorrhoea

Drug-resistant gonorrhoea can spread from an infected person's throat during oral sex. Oral gonorrhoea has increased due to oral sex and irregular use of condom.

Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection STI that can infect the genitals, throat, eyes and rectum. It spreads through unprotected sex.

The infection can also pass from an infected mother to a child during child birth. But it cannot be spread by kissing an infected person.

Common symptoms of gonorrhoea are: greenish yellowish discharge from penis or vaginal, a burning sensation when urinating, a rash on the penis and increased discharge from vaginal.

Untreated oral gonorrhoea can spread to the genitals, causing pelvic inflammatory disease, testicular pain, ectopic pregnancies and infertility.

Oral gonorrhoea is responsible for STI's antibiotic resistance, the bacteria in the throat are exposed to antibiotics when using the drugs for treating the infection. These throat bacteria reduce the effectiveness of the drug.
