Irregularity of vagina
Hi doc, few weeks ago I found some irregularity linings in my inner vagina and they feel like some tiny swell up stripes/lines and I am not sure are they normal or some std disease. Please help to answer thanks a lot
There is a rather serious autoimmune disease called Behcet's Syndrome. This disease's initial symptoms closely resemble the herpes virus, causing inflammation, vaginal sores, fissures, cuts, boils, or folliculitis (ingrown hairs). Other symptoms develop years later, so it is very important that you find out just what it is that is causing your symptoms. Don't be too quick to brush it off as nothing, Behcet's disease affects people of every age and every race. Also, be careful choosing a doctor, you want to see someone who know's enough to tell you what Behcet's Syndrome is all about, if they don't know that, they don't know enough to help you. It is not contagious, it just happens to people because of something in their enviroment. Visit the American Behcet's Disease Association website message board for more information.
thx a lot indeed, so u think my situation here is normal or u would advice me for a check-up?
The vagina does have normal folds and wrinkles shall we say. They tend to stretch out a bit during sexual arousal as the cervix pulls upward and then when the penis is inserted during intercourse. The best way to find out if there's a problem is to have an exam done.
