Genital warts and cervical cancer

[AntsyVee]

They said you had chlamydia?

[Hopefull4567]

Yes they did......
But now I feel I should have more tests to rule out syphilis, hiv,and other serious ones and cervical cancer
Why did you just write that for ?

[AntsyVee]

I was just making sure that I read your post correctly.

Not that I think you have anything, but there is no harm in getting tested for a full panel and having a pap smear, just for peace of mind. How long have you been with this partner?

I've been with him for 10 months....
I know its not him who has been unfaithful...
It was a guy I was with about a year and a half ago he had a reputation of sleeping with women I found out afterwards......I made a stupid mistake and I'm paying for it now....
I've always had clear smear tests but I was married for 14 years ....
But last year after sleeping with that guy I'm very concerned if he can give me this then he could of given me hpv and within a year I now have full blown cancer 😪

Well, I think the big lesson learned here is that before you sleep with a new partner, make sure you get checked. I went through this when my ex cheated on me, and I know it's not pleasant.

Just go get checked for everything so you have peace of mind...and plus you owe it to your new partner. He needs to be informed of what's going on with you and get himself checked.

I made a stupid mistake and I'm paying for it now....

Be kind to yourself. You were alone and you wanted to have some closeness. There's nothing wrong with that. Forgive yourself and move on.

P.S. Keep up to date with your tests, and have faith in the medical care. You'll be fine!

Our bodies can be completely different on one side from the other which is probably the case with your vulvar. An area of redness can be caused my a number of things; irritation due to underwear, change in washing powder, change in soap/shower gel, irritation from sexual activity, jeans too tight, spots (yes I've had them down there), hormonal changes and many more. It's a very sensitive area and the slightest thing can cause redness.

Avoid checking and rechecking the area as even constantly checking it can make it red (from pulling and pressure). Keep yourself busy and distracted and if you're still concerned contact your GP.

Are you getting any help with your HA?
