Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had sex with my boyfriend a few months ago. I noticed tiny bumps on his private parts, but I did not think I would get them. It started as one bump that had pus, but it burst. Now I am left with small bumps in the opening of my vagina or vulva and around my buttocks as well.
Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Based on your description, it sounds like you may have contracted a sexually transmitted infection (STI). The tiny bumps you noticed on your boyfriend's genitals could be a sign of genital herpes, which is a common STI caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). The initial outbreak of herpes can cause blisters or sores that may ooze or bleed, followed by the appearance of small, painful bumps. After your boyfriend's initial outbreak, you may have contracted the virus through oral, vaginal, or anal sex. The virus can be spread through skin-to-skin contact, even if no visible sores or blisters are present. The small bumps you are experiencing in the opening of your vagina or vulva and anus could also be a sign of another STI, such as molluscum contagiosum, which is caused by a virus that can spread through skin-to-skin contact.
To confirm the cause of your symptoms and receive appropriate treatment, I recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider. They can perform a physical exam and run diagnostic tests to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment options. In the meantime, to prevent the spread of STIs, it is important to practice safe sex by using condoms during sexual activity and to avoid engaging in sexual contact with partners who have visible sores or blisters. Additionally, it is important to avoid touching or rubbing the affected areas, as this can spread the infection to other parts of your body.
I hope this information helps, and I encourage you to prioritize your health by seeking medical care as soon as possible. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you.
