very serious question
| Thu, 11-13-2008 - 8:27pm |
Upon shaving today in my intimate areas I found a strange bump there. I went on line to read on what it could be. I dk if this something I could have had before. I have to be checked out. Should I tell my ap before I get checked out or wait. Tell him I found something strange. My husband has nothing on him, my ap never said anything. If I didn't use a mirror to shave, I would have seen nothing strange.please any help. I won't talk to Ap until tommorrow.

If you're scared, and you're really worried that it could be an STD like the papillomavirus, then definitely do not have sex with your AP until you know what it is for sure.
But my guess is that it's just an ingrown hair, an infected hair follicle, or even just an ordinary pimple, and something as simple as cleaning the area with rubbing alcohol or antibacterial soap and keeping it dry could help it to go away.
Still, it never hurts to err on the side of caution and have a doctor check it out. If you're embarrassed, then you don't have to say what you think it might be, just say you have this very painful bump and let the doctor take it from there.

Never, never go online and look up your symptoms... You always ignore the simple things and go straight for worst case.
It's not easy for a woman to spot she has HPV as the symptoms are normally internal, so I would be quite surprised if that's what it is. I would hazard a guess that it's a cyst of some sort - could be an infected hair root or blocked pore or something. I get one occasionally, don't know why, feels like a hard and uncomfortable lump, like a pea. Goes away on it's own accord.
Definitely go to the doctor and get checked; it's something we should all do regularly anyway, but in the meantime don't get worked up over it.

infected hair bump can be painful..if so the dr will just pull the hair out or give you medicine like something with sulfer to reduce the swelling..but if the doc says it's hair bump ..go to the dermatologist so they can give you something for relief of the skin pain...if it's HPV, that causes genital warts or vise versa...i forget..but, it is sexually transmitted so you wanna find where it came from, if that's where it is..and you never know..the wife may have slept with someone else..HPV also causes cervical cancer..be careful with this man if it's anything other than an infected hair bump, be careful with husband if it's anything other than an infected hair bump..i am not gonna mention protection because for HPV i don't think that works...again i forget....
i have only been with XAP sexually in the past year and some..before then i had a BF, that i was with while XAP and i were good friends....he an i used protection every single time we did the do..and the x-fiance before the BF, was studying the ministry so we did not do the do at all ever in the two years we were together (now you guys know why i can withstand not doing the do with XAP, things are more emotional/mentally intimate for me when i'm with someone although when i do the do..i do my thang)...during the time with XAP, i was at the gyn once a month but that is because i was perimenopausal which posed
