E 'alarm sexual precocity among teenagers. The first time in 12 years seems like a step that a growing percentage of Italian adolescents reached by a light-heartedness that is worrying not just pediatricians and sexologists. The problem is not some kind of "morality" is not the bigots who want to make doctors afraid of this trend to the discovery of sex so close in age to children, but for all the risks to health that such a choice entails.
Having intimate relationships complete with total recklessness, without being informed of all the consequences, exposes the male and female teenagers, in which the dangers of ignoring the existence and perniciousness. I'm talking mainly Papillomavirus (HPV), a pathogen that is transmitted, of course, through unprotected sex, and that, as we all know is responsible for cancers and infections, and HIV, by no means disappeared from circulation.
In an immature body, like a boy or a girl, ages 11-13, this type of infection is even easier. The lack of correct information, especially in schools, as well as family, makes it even harder work of those who finds himself working with adolescents struggling with the first sexual impulses.
To address the problem was the endocrinologist Andrea Lenzi, University La Sapienza of Rome, which has appealed to both pediatricians that the school children to provide themselves the information tools needed to deal with awareness and confidence in this stage essential to their lives.
"Today the first sexual intercourse occurs on average around 12-13 years, without knowing anything in terms of prevention," said Lenzi, during a conference in Rome on diseases of human papillomavirus in men. And again: "The appeal to paediatricians, therefore, is to inform kids about the risks of transmission of various viruses, including HPV, even after sexual intercourse is not complete, because adolescents are almost completely unaware of such dangers.
" But Lenz has also catered to the world of school and never implemented sex education programs: "It 'a school that becomes the primary prevention," he said. What, I can only echo the call.
