** Anxiety and stress may arise from sources such as working too many hours, poor diet, lack of adequate sleep, chaos in the personal life, too much change in life, financial troubles, relationship issues and many other causes.

Other symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases may include warts on the genitals, itching on the genitals, unusual discharge and pain in the pelvic region.
