Swollen Lmyph Nodes
Hi Doc, Im 17 years old and for the past couple of months i keep having recurring BV infections. I never actually took all the medicine but i never missed more than two pills. Most recently after having unprotected sex i felt lumps near my groin area. The doctor told me that I had swollen Lmyph Nodes. I have lower back pains as if it were cramps and i have a slight stomach ache and keep getting real bad headaches. Doc do you know wats wrong?
Dont sounds like STD but hey we aint Doctors here.. since u are feeling uneasy i suggest to seek medical help and also u better tell the doc that u hv unprotected sex (is it even legal in wherever u are to hv sex at 17??)
whatever it is, pls use protection... STD in HIV sees no race, gender, age as a matter for tranmission. Protect yourself in futures if you have any doubts with the partner u are engaging sex with. Most STD are curable or manageable.. but HIV is a slow killer.

Its not HIV, but you need to think about what you are doing that might be causing the BV.
Are you using scented soaps or detergents? Baby or feminine wipes? Wearing panties that aren't 100% cotton? Are you on birth control pills? All these can cause a disruption in the very delicate balance of good and bad bacteria in the vagina, which can lead to bv.
Good luck - BV can be a pain to get rid of.

Oh and since you have the cramping and back pain, you need to see your doctor soon. This could have gone into pelvic inflammatory disease.
