Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I do not have any problems while walking. What are the symptoms of STD? Do I have an STD? I am worried.

Kindly advise.

Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. I have gone through the details and seen the image you shared (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). You have a vaginal boil, not an STD (sexually transmitted disease). Do you have itching, a foul odor, or a discharge from the vagina?

I suggest the below steps:

  • Keep the area dry.
  • Maintain proper hygiene.
  • Use a feminine wash to clean the area.
  • Wear loose cotton undergarments.
  • Avoid intense workouts and exercise.

The boil will subside within three to four days. However, do let me know in case of discharge.

I hope this helps.

Feel free to ask any questions or share additional information.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the response. There is no itching, discharge, or odor. However, I walk 10000 steps a day.

Kindly suggest.

I suggest you discontinue walking for a few days till you are fine.

I hope this helps.

God bless.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
