What Are The Symptoms Of STI Or Herpes?

I m having an itching sensation beneath my vaginal area, my gooch. it s really red, and I popped a clear pus pimple this morning. though I went to the gyno yesterday and she said there were no bumps and that the skin was just dry, should I have anything to worry about? ps. I had unprotected sex about a week ago, I just need to rule out an STI or herpes. I m terrified.

Hello,

Gynecologists are experts in diagnosing lesions of Sexually Transmitted Diseases. So if she ruled out STD, you should not worry about that. Not every unprotected sexual intercourse results in transmission of STD. However, if you still want to confirm, you can go for blood test (complete blood count) and vaginal swab examination to confirm the presence or absence of STD.

The itching you were feeling might be due to pimple only and as you popped it, probably you will be relived of symptoms. In addition, you can use lubricants in the area to help the dryness your gynecologist observed.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I will be glad to answer any follow up questions you have. Take care.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
