Smoking habits and alcohol consumption in patients with STD
Long ago, physicians noted a relationship between STD and alcoholism. The objective of this study was to assess the association between STD and alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking and sexuaL behavior. The study included 173 patients (128 males and 45 females) with different STDs, and 90 patients (58 males and 32 females) with pityriasis versicolor and other dermatomycoses as a control group. All patients filled out a questionnaire with demographic questions, questions on alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking habits, and sexual behavior. Results: Among STD patients, 149 (87%) were heterosexual, 14 (8.0%)bisexual and 10 (6%) homosexual. In men, the most frequent diagnosis was urethritis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, followed by mycoplasmas. In females, the most common diagnoses were cervicitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and bacterial vaginosis. In the STD and control group of patients, 17.9% and only 7.9%, respectively had a positive history of STD (< 0.05). Among males with STD, 28.1% frequently used alcohol, and 49.2% were smokers or ex-smokers; 15.5% of females with STD frequently used alcohol, and 42.2% smoked cigarettes. In the control group, a smaller percentage of patients used alcohol and smoked. Conclusion: The study demonstrated the patients with STD to differ from the control group in sexual behavior and were heavier alcohol abusers.
