Hi there,

I need someones help! Last night i had sex with my boyfriend and we had to stop becuase it was hurting me.

I had blood in my knickers the next time i checked too.

Anyway, i checked it out myself infont of a mirror and around the entrance to my vagina towards the bottom (not my bum) that there were about 6pink lumps.

They must of been about 2/3mm wide each.

Im scared i have genital warts? They arnt causing my any pain.

But i was wonderin

I dont want to confront my boyfriend about it either at the moment. I just want to know what they are.

I've been with my boyfriend for two and a half years and we have always stayed faithful to each other. I'm so worried.

I just want to know what they are, i looked up images of genital warts on the internet but they look as though they are only the serious cases.

Thankyou xx

You're so easy to fool and also, you're so gullible.

Is there any physical way, that anyone on this planet can access if a MALE is virgin?....THE ANSWER IS NO!

For a women, yes, b/c there exist skin over the upper part of the uterus, until it is broken all WOMEN ARE BIOLOGICALLY VIRGINS.

I think you should be concerned about YOU. If it is true, that this guy was your first, then that means he's carrying a strain of HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS. Don't accuse your boyfriend of anything, until you have been diagnosed by a doctor to see if this is papilloma virus...and if that is the case, then you CAUGHT IT BY SEXUAL CONTACT AND NOT BY fingering, oral sex, etc.! Once you get your diagnosis and if the diagnosis is an STD, then your boyfriend is the DISEASE CARRIER-100% MEDICAL CERTAINTY!

penta agony auntGo see a doctor. S/he may rule out an STD, and you'll have worried for nothing. It may still be serious, though, so you REALLY need to be seen. When you get your answer from the doc, come back here and let us know.

No the lumps arn't rough.. they are just fleshy.

I'm going to the doctors about it next week I think.

If it is genital warts though..

How do i break it to my bofriend that he would of given them to me?

Can you get them any other way apart from sexual contact?

I don't want him to think that I am accusing him about being unfaithful.

He's had sexual partners in the past but he didnt go that far as to have sex with them. We were both virgins when we started dating you see, but him and his other girlfriends had done other stuff together.

Thanks so much for your help everyone.

You really need to get a check-up at an STD cinic. Give them a call, they are kind and used to helping people. Nobody need know. Don't worry or feel bad, this is so common. You need to get your cervix checked too. If the lumps feel a bit rough rather than just fleshy, you may be right about it being warts. I am a normal person and so are my friends. We are all very old(!) but out of 5 of us, three have had this problem and we are all fine. We are professional, married and with children. Don't be scared - but do use condoms in future! Until you decide that you are life partners anyway.

It doesn't matter if you used condoms or not with getting these infections.

You can use a condom and still get HSV-2(genital herps) and HSV-1(oral herps) infections.

Also, you can use a condom and still get genital warts lesions.

Why? B/c both of these infections are skin viral infections that selects for a particualr type of skin mucosa(mucus)(oral/anal/vaginal/etc)., to cause these infection.

Based on your follow up question and your description of practicing safe sex, it seems your boyfriend is a carrier of human-papilloma virus(the virus that causes genital herpes)..

There may be some hope for you. If you have a non-aggressive strain of this virus, with time your immune system will clear it up, but you need to some work for your body by having a doctor to take them off before they grow and become invasive near blood vessels deep in your skin; b/c these will spread to other areas in the body and seed there causing growths; abnormal growths-cancer-death!

If your boyfriend has an aggressive Human Pap. Viral strain, then I must say, you must never have sexual contact with him again, b/c that is hard to treat....

Keep this in mind, view these warts like trees....don't let their roots form in your body. This will occur with time. Once the wart takes root, it comes in contact with the circulatory system and it can travel and cause infections elsewhere; leading to tumor/cancer growths.

However, before you have sex with anyone, you should perform a visual inspection of his penis, under his penis, under and around his testicles, b/c this is your life you're putting at risk and if any guy can't accept that is someone your life is not worth gambling with.

Best wishes and the best of luck to YOU!!!!

All you have to do to contract these infections is to, make a skin-skin contact of someone infected with these lesions to one of your healthy mucosa areas.

Hi its me again,

Just to let everyone know, ive NEVER had unprotected sex with my boyfriend ever. He is the only person I have ever slept with.

We have always used a condom. I have given him oral without a condom though. I don't understand how i could of got them.. could he of had them and not realised? I havn't been sexually active with any other man you see.

And if i confront him I don't want him to get protective because it may of been his fault.. Are all genital warts clearly visible?

I do have sensetive skin so it could be somekind of irritation to do with soaps.. or shaving thing? But its actually like at the entrance into the vagina around the bottom bit.

I don't know. I think I might wait to see if it does go away over the next couple of days, if it doesn't i will consult a doctor.

Thankyou so much for everyones replies, some have scared me a little!

If anyone could post a reply in light of what I've just told you I'd be so greatful. Thankyou :)

penta agony auntSee a doctor immediately. If it is genital warts you need to have it taken care of; as a previous poster said, you can get cancer from this. If it's herpes (as another poster said) then there is a medicine you can take to help clear up this outbreak -- but you'll have it thereafter and you'll need to take extra measures to protect your partner. And it could be something else altogether -- see a doctor to make sure you're alright.

Don't have unprotected sex with your partner again until you have it diagnosed, on the off chance that he doesn't already have it (unlikely, but possible). After you know for sure, you'll HAVE to tell your bf, if you haven't already. He'll have to see a urologist, and the test isn't comfortable, but it's important. He could give it back to you again. And again.

What you do next depends on (1) what you have, and (2) how much you trust your partner. It's possible that either of you could have gotten whatever it is (if it's an STD) from a prior partner. Some things do lie dormant that long. It's also possible that he hasn't been faithful. And it's also possible that once you find out what it is, he may not want to get tested and so he could lie to you, say that he has been tested, and then do nothing to take care of it. This is REALLY dangerous for you, so be careful.

Take care of yourself.

It could be an activated form of "Herpes Simplex-2", or an irriated genital wart.

HSV-2 is treatable but not curable, and reactivates with small pulse like sores..SEE A PHYSICIAN.

genital warts, can lead to invasive cervical cancer overtime if not excised with q-tip liquid nitrogen-or dry ice, of q-tip clorox burn.

the genital warts, if it's the less active form, can be cured by excision and doesn't come back.

you should not have sex unprotected...b/c of the idea of getting these STD's which can cause illness, cancer, and nervous system injuries as you age with advanced time!

Hi honey,

I think the best thing for you to do is go to your doctor. I know its imbarassing but you need to get it checked out. Just remember your doctor has seen all sorts of things and will not be surprised, its his job. If you are too imbaressed you could talk to your nurse.

It most probably is nothing but just get it sorted.

Good luck honey x.
