She claims their not herpes..?!


Question:

She claims their not herpes..?

my friend showed me a picture of what looked like warts in her vagina.. I told her they looked like gential warts and that she should get tested.. She claims their not gential warts because when she was tested all the doc said she had was a uti.. could her uti lead to those bumps? what else could they be? she said they hurt all the time. but doesn't burn when she pees.. I'm at a lost what to tell her..


Answers:

If it looks like warts then it might be warts.

Genital herpes and warts are NOT the same thing though. Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus, while genital warts are caused by HPV. They are completely different viruses. Genital herpes causes large, blister like sores. These sores can break open and puss and are VERY painful. Genital warts are usually small, flesh colored, and do NOT puss.

Also, a UTI does not lead to genital warts. They don't have anything to do with each other. A UTI is caused by bacteria and genital warts are caused by a virus.

You should tell her you think she should see a doctor and have them look at her. Also tell her that HPV can lead to cervical cancer in some women, so it's important that she see a doctor. It's her choice whether she actually goes, but at least you can give her your input. Good luck!
