Warts or just precaution?

[Mary122lync]

Long story short, pleass dont judge.
Slept with someone else other then my SO in april. He told me he had no stds that he had a check but obviously you cant take someones word for sure
Riddled with guilt and full of anxiety thinking id every std in the world after it happened
In june i got thrush. I got medication for it. I had sex with my bf after we had a few drinks so between the alcohol and thrush, the sex for me was uncomfortable so we had to stop. I was in immediate pain afterwards when I pees it stung and my whole vulva felt tender. A day later i wore new jeans to work and they were on the small side and slightly digging in and hurting my groin area so that even i had a look with a mirror down below and saw that my clit was v swollen, and id two fissures which i presumed were from the dryness from sex. I also had two white dots which i wasnt too worried about however i was full of anxiety thinking it was some sort of std so i went to the doctors. He told me thrush can leave white dots and that it makes the vulva tissue prone to tearing a little during intercourse. He could see i was v nervous and i asked about stds so he said hed do a blood test. The next week i had a full std check and he looked at my vagina area again and he said it looked normal. But to come back in when the test results come. So i went in to get my tests and everything was clear and he asked me how i was doing down there. I told him i was fine but i was concerned as i felt a bit of discomfortness sometimes downthere. He said to keep an eye on it and come back in a few weeks if im still worried as theres a thing called condyloma acuminata that wont always show up on blood tests. I completely panicked then and he told me not to worry and to then come back in a month hed have another look and make sure. He said if it was warts that theyre easily taken care of and not to worry. I was almost in tears i was very confused. My boyfriend had a look at me down there and he said everything looks normal apart from a bit of redness. My mom thinks the doctor is just being safe and not to go back unless i need to. Id rather put this behind me and not go back but i wanted opinions? He told me everything looked normal but then said that? I dont understand is he just being precautious or what

See to clear things up, after my encounter in april i was worried about stds. Then in june i had sex with my bf after a few drinks and i also had thrush so the dryness caused a few scrapes on my vulva. I went to the doctor and then also said i was worried it could be related to stds which is why i had blood tests done. So he prescribed me thrush cream and he inspected my vagina twice each time saying everything looked normal but then on my third check up he didnt inspect me and i was still a bit concerned about the teas from sex and rambled a bit and he said warts are something that dont show up on blood tests and to keep an eye on myself and to come in if theres any changes but to keep using the thrush cream. So thats why im confused as to why he even mentioned warts and then not do anything about it

Ah, I d0n't know much about thrush.  I had it in my throat once.  Thought that's what you meant.  You'll have to ask your doctor why he told you to keep using the cream even though the thrush is gone.  His comments about warts were probably in response to your worried quizzing and he mentioned that, in addition to stds found from blood testing, there's also HPV warts at which point you freaked and your mind ran away with it.  That's why i think he mentioned warts.  Anyway, it doesn't really matter because this is what you have to do.  Find out why he told you to keep using the cream and if you can discontinue using it.  Then, wait the next three to four/five months inspecting your vagina once a week for bumps that weren't there before.  If you haven't had any bumps between April and now, then you've had zero sign of warts so far.  I'd say the chances are that you don't have them, and other than the tearing and the thrush, you've been a victim of your own mind given the guilt and anxiety that can occur with the situation you got yourself into.  If by November at the latest, you haven't seen any bumps (warts) then breath a sigh of relief and let go of this whole subject because you've waited quite a bit longer to pronounce yourself uninfected than the experts who used to post on the expert section would say.  Best of luck, and guard yourself against decisions like this that can cause so much lame stuff to occur.

The cream isnt for warts. The cream is for thrush that i had when i intitily went into the doctor in july because i had a few tears from sex. So the doctors telling me to keep using the thrush cream even though I do not have thrush anymore and the doctor said to keep an eye on myself

[Mary122lync]

Im just worried about why he mentioned warts when all along he said everything looked normal. He wasnt too pushed about me coming back in a month either and he told me to keep using the canesten hc cream so thats why im wondering was he just saying it as something to beware of or does he think i have them?

[SkaterDave]

I'm not sure. You'll have to ask why you were prescribed cream if there's no visual sign of warts. If there's no visual sign, I wouldn't use that cream as it'd be pointless. Plus, if you do have warts, using the cream at the beginning of your wart journey Sitka change a thing regarding the future behavior of the virus with future outbreaks and all that. If you've never seen any sign of a wart, I'd discontinue using the cream. Did you say how long it's been since that encounter? Like I said before, if it's been more than six months, I'd stop worrying about whether you have warts or not and start believing you don't have them. Not only that, but it sounds like the jury's still out on whether he has them.

[SkaterDave]

You're probably fine and all this is the mind playing tricks because of the guilt and fear from the nature of your encounter. That's my guess. This is how the mind works.

I also got in touch with the person from april and he had a full sti screen in july after he got thrush from a girl and everything was clear. And he assured me he had no genital warts
