Could this be an STD or HIV?

Me and my boyfriend have been trying to have a baby and we have been having unprotected sex for about 10 months now. I just started douching about 9 months ago, and I have been getting this bad fishy smell but i could only smell it after having sex, and i have these bumps down on my vagina right around where the penis goes for about 4 months now. I am scared to go to the doctor. Before we started having unprotected sex we both got tested and we were fine, but I don’t understand why i am having all these weird sign’s. Could i have a(n) STD or HIV? Help me….( I don’t have any insurance)…

Answer #1

Dear p_y_t_87, First thing…GO TO A DOCTOR!…I know you are scared but you should be more scared to get pregnant and while you are having these types of symtoms. The fact that you started to douching is probably the problem here but you need to make sure.

Since many women associate douching with cleanliness and good hygiene, it may come as a surprise to learn that douching can actually be dangerous. But the truth is, we’re not dirty, and our vaginas can take care of themselves. The best thing to do for our health is to leave our vaginas alone and let our natural system work. There’s supposed to be stuff in there – left to their own devices, they keep each other from overgrowing and promote healthy vaginal pH balance and there’s supposed to be stuff coming out of us. In fact, vaginal secretions can actually help us know when we’re in good health, if we know what to look for. Sue…good luck

Answer #2

The first answer to this question is true. Douching is probably what caused the problem in the first place– all the friendly micro-organisms in your body that used to fight off things like yeast infections were flushed out, so you might have one of those or some other kind of infection.

Definitely see a doctor.

Answer #3

i cannot stress the importance enough of women needed to be familiar with their own “parts”

First of all, please see a doctor.

You sound very unfamiliar with the female sex organs. So please review this website! http://www.the-clitoris.com
