<p>Dr. Thanyanan Kangvalpornroj, or Dr Fern, is one of Bangkok&rsquo;s leading specialists on sexually transmitted diseases (STD&rsquo;s) and works from Banrak STI Center, Bangrak Hospital. Prior to this she worked as an intern at Banphaeo General Hospital which she arrived at after graduating from the College of Medicine, Rangsit University, Bangkok.</p>
<p>Dr. Fern knew that she wanted to become a Doctor of Medicine but her association with STDs didn't come until after she graduated and was given an opportunity to work in the fields of STI&rsquo;s and dermatology. As her expertise began to develop she became inspired to share her knowledge in both of the fields with other people. She decided to embrace media to spread the word about sexually transmitted diseases; prevention is, afterall, always better than cure.</p>
<p>In 2019 Dr Fern published a post on Bangrak STI Center&rsquo;s Facebook page about syphilis. The post was picked up by the local media who started to request interviews with Dr. Thanyanan. One such media company was one of Thailand&rsquo;s largest production houses who ran a telephone interview. That interview was published online by the media house where it received many hits. They invited the doctor back to talk about STDs on their YouTube channel and soon she became well known.</p>
<p>Since then she has appeared on television shows in Thailand and on many well known YouTube channels. She has also become a public speaker delivering talks throughout Thailand on subjects including:</p>
<ul>
<li>STIs and genital dermatoses</li>
<li>Treatment of STIs and genital dermatoses</li>
<li>Common STIs and genital dermatoses</li>
<li>STIs services quality improvement</li>
<li>Gonorrhea and drug resistance</li>
<li>Sexual growth in early teenage</li>
<li>Teenage love, sex and safe for psychology student</li>
<li>A Knowledge of female sexual orgasm</li>
<li>STIs and sexual health</li>
</ul>
<p>Dr. Thanyanan Kangvalpornroj continues to focus on and develop her career in the field of STIs and dermatological disease, undertaking research and contributing to various medical publications. Her decision to establish a voice on the subject in mainstream media has had a very positive impact in a culture that traditionally shies away from openly and frankly discussing sexual issues.</p>

Dr Thanyanan Kangvalpornroj - Biography | CI Talks Coach

Dr Thanyanan Kangvalpornroj

Prevention is always better than cure and Dr. Thanyanan Kangvalpornroj (Dr Fern) is on a mission in Thailand to share her knowledge and educate the young generation about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), contraception, safe sex and more.

<p>According to research, more young people are becoming sexually active today without knowing or understanding about safe sex, protection, STDs, or even birth control.</p>
<p>The most important thing is that we talk openly with them, understand them, and give them knowledge about sexual intercourse before they have sex for the first time.</p>
<p>Talking with our kids or with children in our care about sex, may feel awkward, but they need the right information from a young age. We need to start teaching them the differences between females and males; this is what female genitalia looks like and this is what male genitalia looks like.</p>
<p>As the kids get a bit older, we may talk about love with them, because when we have sex, it's not just about sex, but a combination of love and sex. Tell them about your love stories and listen to their experiences so far. Doing this helps to open them up whilst making them feel safe to talk to you freely.</p>
<p>When they think it is the right time to have sex, we can then give them advice and encourage them to reflect on their personal values, before they make a final decision. But they should be left to make the final decision about who they choose and when they are ready.</p>
<h2>Birth Control &amp; STD Prevention</h2>
<p>I'll divide this into &ldquo;with&rdquo; a method of birth control and &ldquo;without&rdquo;. Let's start with "without". If no contraception plan has been made, the first option is "withdrawal" (pull out method).</p>
<h3>Withdrawal (Pull Out Method)</h3>
<p>Some people think that sperm is only released at orgasm, but that's not true at all. Sperm is released before that in pre-ejaculate.</p>
<p>Withdrawal is less than 75% effective, so it's not recommended.</p>
<h3>Fertility Awareness Method.</h3>
<p>&ldquo;Before 7, after 7&rdquo;. This means 7 days before you menstruate, you can have safe sex. 7 days after menstruation you can also have sex.</p>
<p>This period is safe because ovulation hasn't started yet, it will start midway. No eggs, no sperm, no pregnancy.</p>
<h3>Contraception.</h3>
<p>Next, Contraception.</p>
<p>For men, the only option is condoms. Condoms are 99% effective in preventing pregnancy, when used correctly. Condoms are available in highstreet stores and I suggest you carry condoms with you at all times.</p>
<p>There are condoms for women too, and not so many people know that. You can carry condoms, but when having sex, it's huge, like a basket in basketball, it's a long pouch and when having sex you may hear cracking sounds.</p>
<h3>Emergency Pills.</h3>
<p>You have 72 hours to take Emergency pills after you have sex, but the faster you take, the better.</p>
<p>Emergency pills contain strong hormones, which can cause hormonal swings. It's not recommended for those who have regular sex. You should use other methods.</p>
<h3>Birth control pills.</h3>
<p>The 28-day and the 21-day packet. These pills contain low hormonal doses and can be taken daily. One disadvantage though, is that you may forget to take it. If this happens, you have to start counting again.</p>
<p>The trick is that if you forget, Take it again as soon as you remember that day. But if a day has passed, take 2 pills the next day. If you miss 2 days, then take 2 pills a day for the next 2 days. If you miss 3 days, you must start again.</p>
<p>I suggest you also use other protection, like wearing a condom.</p>
<h3>Contraceptive injection.</h3>
<p>This lasts around 1 or 3 months. You inject this once a month. I think this method is fairly easy.</p>
<h3>Contraceptive implant.</h3>
<p>Consider this if you don't want to become pregnant for 3 to 5 years. This is a long time and that's the advantage of it. It's a tube, like a cotton bud, that is inserted under the skin of the upper arm and that's it. It lasts for 3-5 years.</p>
<p>An intrauterine device inside the vagina, or inserting a straw, can also prevent pregnancy. It also uses hormones. But it's not recommended for those diagnosed with STDs, or if you have had vaginal infections because it won't work well.</p>
<h2>Sexually Transmitted Diseases</h2>
<p>Sexually transmitted diseases are numerous and common. HIV may be the most renowned but there are many more such as syphilis, gonorrhoea, chlamydia, herpes, or warts.</p>
<p>Many of these can be prevented before sex, such as warts. We can get HPV. For Hepatitis B virus, we can get a vaccination as well. For other diseases, you must use a condom to protect yourself.</p>
<p>Many people think that STDs are transmitted via genitals only. That's not true. For example, Gonorrhoea can occur in the neck, mouth, or anus. Warts can occur in your mouth. Consider prevention carefully.</p>
<h2>Let's Talk About Sex Ed</h2>
<p>To sum everything up, having sex is natural, anyone can do it, we cannot forbid anyone from doing it and no one cannot forbid us from it too.</p>
<p>What we can do is communicate wisely and correctly when our kids are still young. Build their trust and let them talk to us. We can support birth control, to prevent teen pregnancy, and STDs.</p>
