Abstract
Available data show that sexually transmitted diseases constitute great medical, social and economic problems in Nigeria. Apart from the heavy affliction of urban dwellers, there is rapid excursion of these diseases to the rural areas as well. This situation is serious enough to attract government attention so that necessary control measures may be initiated in good time in order to avert the serious consequences.Keywords: Africa; Africa South Of The Sahara; Beliefs; Cancer; Cervical Cancer; Culture; Demographic Factors; Developing Countries; Diseases; English Speaking Africa; Gonorrhea; Infections; Infertility--etiology; Literature Review; Neoplasms; Nigeria; Parasitic Diseases; Population; Population Characteristics; Reproduction; Reproductive Tract Infections; Rural Population; Sexually Transmitted Diseases--prevention and control; Syphilis; Urban Population; Vaginal Abnormalities; Vaginitis; Western Africa
