The cases of the monkeypox virus are also increasing rapidly among the coronavirus. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 18,000 cases of this virus have been reported from 78 countries so far. Monkeypox has been declared a public health emergency. When infected with this virus, there is a problem of fever, headache, and rashes on the body. This virus is very old and since then these three problems are mainly seen in most patients, but now some new symptoms of monkeypox are also emerging.
A research has been done on 197 patients with monkeypox in Britain. This research has been published in the British Medical Journal. Two new symptoms have been found in monkeypox patients in the study. The first is a pain in the rectal area or rectum and the second is the symptom of penile edema (swelling without pain in the penis). Scientists doing this research say that these two symptoms will also have to be monitored in the investigation and treatment of these monkeypox suspects. These also need to be included in the list of symptoms. Based onf these also patients will have to be treated. If a person is having any such problem, then he can be tested for monkeypox by considering him suspicious.
These symptoms may be due to having a physical relationship
According to the World Health Organization, about 99 percent of monkeypox patients are gay men. That I, men who make relationships with other men. Experts say that these two symptoms can be due to sex. According to epidemiologist Dr. Anshuman Kumar, there are three reasons for the spread of monkeypox. In these, the first is coming in contact with an infected animal, the second is infection from the infected patient's rash or close contact with him and the third is through sexual intercourse.
According to Dr. Anshuman, if a man has been infected with monkeypox, then it may take three to five days for the rash to come out in his body, but if in the meantime he has a physical relationship with another man, then through semen. The virus can spread.
Dr. Kumar says that monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted disease like HIV, but countries like the US and UK have more gay men and more than one partner. Because of this, more cases of monkeypox are cominginton them.
