Symtoms of STD

Most people have no symptoms. Abnormal discharge from the penis or vagina, pain in the testicles, and burning with urinating. Long-term irritation may cause lower abdominal pain, inflammation of the eyes and skin lesions. In women, it can cause inflammation of the pelvic organs pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Chlamydia an be completely cured, but can be caught again, especially if both sex partners aren't treated. Small red bumps, blisters, or open sores on the penis, vagina, or areas close by. Also, vaginal discharge in women. Fever, headache, and muscle aches. Pain when urinating. Itching, burning, or swollen glands in genital area. Pain in legs, buttocks, or genital area.

Hi, so I have this problem. Well one night I was reallllllllly stupid and had sex with two guys in one night. (Not a threesome, at different times) both used condoms but its been like a week and ever since my vagina and clitoris are UNBEARABLY itchy and my clitoris is even swollen and red. But I'm only 15 and can't drive myself anywhere to get checked and my mom has no idea that I'm sexually active. I don't know what to do and I'm really scared. Do I have an STD?

Was this your first time having sex? I have a guess not, so what I truly believe it is, is a yeast infection - because you were smart enough to use a condom It would be hard for you to have an STD! When young women become sexually active they are more prone to yeast infections and urinary tract infections. Your mom doesn't need to know about your sexual activitiy, just mention to her your symptoms and ask her if she thinks it is a yeast infection! then get a 5 - 7 day pack and use it ALL! This should take care of the itching and inflammation, also all the rubbing that you endured throughout one night would be another! Also you could be alergic to the latex condom. So try the yeast medication from the pharmacist 1st OK?

2nd - NOW the sermon! I am a mother of 2 teenagers - boys, and believe it or not even though it seems like a LONG time ago when I was a teenager it isn't! So all I know honey is that if you continue to be SO sexually out there, you WILL get a name! And you WILL never be able to be clean!!! There arent enough showers in the world to take away the feeling that other people put on you. Since you are so young, I worry where you mind is at, to have sex with 2 different guys in 1 night!!!! Guys talk honey, and they can talk VERY badly of girls they have had sex with. I just don't want this to happen to you! So please have more love and pride for yourself OK? Good luck and health!

Wow, I never thought of myself like that. You have no idea how much you just helped me. Maybe I do need a reality check and thank you so much for the advice. I was soooo scared it was for sure an STD. But I'm going to take you advice and not get a name for myself. I'm going to take more pride in myself. Thank you soooo very much!!

Your welcome honey! I just know that girls now adays - even more than when I was a teenager - are REALLY pressured into sex when they are far too young to handle the negative consequences. Can you imagine IF it was an STD and you are only 15 and have that for the rest of your life? That would be devestating for you! You HAVE to respect and love yourself enough, NOT to be someones "booty call"! I find it SO Unloving! I know that sounds old fashioned - which I'm not at all - but do you understand what I mean? It's like "I just want you for sex and nothing else, so you either take it or I'll find someone else!!!" That CAN'T help you develop strong feelings of independence and pride! So Get some help for the itching, and DON'T tell anyone about what happened - even your best friend honey! And really think about where you want to be in life, because I promise you, if you make the wrong turn, your life is set that way! Good luck sweetheart!

I can not thank you enough! You really made me think. Where do I wanna be in life. Because I for sure don't wanna be labled as a s***. And definitely don't wanna have an STD for the rest of my life
