It's not an STD?

so, I was concerned I had an STD,
So I went to my gynecologist again for an exam to confirm whether or not the mysterious growths on my female anatomy was an STD,

My gyno said it was "normal" skin folds.

I figured she is the doctor, she must be right. She's seen STD infected female anatomy before, I'm sure she'd know if I had an STD,

But the more I look, the more unconvinced I realize I am. These weird growths do NOT look normal! They are getting even bigger and spreading since the last time I saw her and I don't want to keep going back and have her say that it's normal and I have nothing to freak out about, but these growths do not seem normal and I'm almost positive they are warts. They look like warts, feel like warts. I'm also very susceptible to getting warts, I've had them in other places on my body so I have a good feeling that these are warts.

But, the doctor must be right because she knows what genital earts look like, right?

No matter how hard I try to convince myself that these growths are "normal" I just can't get myself to accept that. They do not feel normal and they are spreading.

I don't know what to do? Should I see her again? Just wait it out and see what happens? My mom gets angry with me when I tell her that I'm not convinced that these growths are normal because she thinks I don't trust the doctor. I do, but I have a very hard time believing that these aren't warts. They look exactly like warts!

If you feel like it's worth seeing a medical professional over, and the medical professional isn't giving you the right answers, then maybe getting a second opinion from another doctor might help.

I agree with Artchic. You are the best advocate for your body. I would ask the doctor for clear documentation on what it is (they can provide print outs and link with information that elaborates on your "diagnosis"). If they are not willing to do that, I would easily suggest seeking a second opinion, visiting an urgent/doctors/med care (not the ER). Or, perhaps even asking them to take a culture to verify its not an STD of some sorts. If its not, then yay! you could then go to a dermatologist to address the discomfort they are presenting you (aesthetically) and possibly get better insight of causes and solutions on how to eliminate them.

Thank you, both.

I went back for a second opinion and this gyno confirmed that it was, in fact, an STD.

I was treated for it, and hopefully it will stop spreading and get back to normal on a few days.

Thank you so much for the advice!
I'm very glad I went back because it's been giving me so much anxiety. But yea, it was an STD.

Sorry it was an STD, but good for you for standing up for what you believe and not letting someone else sway your opinion. You are stronger then you think. Because you pushed forward and fought your fears you got the diagnosis you knew was correct from the beginning. Imagine what would have happened if you didn't push forward and gave up. Bravo.

Thanks mama
I thought I felt good for going to the doctor
Figuring it out but I guess
I only feel gross and worthles like I am not good anymore

I am bad and disgusting

I am so sorry you feel that way. I can understand how that would make you feel like that. There is no glory in finding you have a STD. But you are getting it taken care of and you will no longer have it.

Sometimes we judge ourselves far more harshly then others judge us. We are our own worst enemy. at times. Hopefully in time this feeling will pass. In the mean time all I can offer you is big ole virtual hugs. ((((((HUGGGGGGGS)))
