Genital Warts - Very Worried, I'm Still a Virgin, But... Posted: 05-23-06 04:23am
In the past few days I have been really
worried.
Since a bunch of people came to my school
and talked about sti (stds) I became
concerned about having genital warts.
I have tiny bumps on my shaft, they are
only in one spot, and they haven't grown
ever since i've had them (which goes as
far as I remember). I think it might
just be sebacus glands... I've seen a
photo and it looks the similar but...
I also have some tiny (very hard to see)
bumps on my upper lip (center)which do not
match the description of sebacus glands.
They are so small that the only way I saw
them was because they form a small (about
4 - 5mm wide) cluster that resemble a
"cauliflower shape". They are flesh
colored I think (it's pretty hard to tell,
they're so small).
Anyway... I have heard that genital
warts can grow on the lips too.
As I have said in the title I am a virgin.
But I am really worried that I might
have genital warts because the speakers
who came to my school said that you could
get them at birth and that they may not
appear until adolescence - which is when I
think they might have appeared.
What makes me think so even further is
that my little sister (5 years younger)
was born by cescaerian section because, as
my mum had "an infection" in the genital
area.
I was pretty small back then so I thought
it might be some form of irritation that
turned nasty. But now I think it might
have been genital warts.
I am too scarred to go to a doctor, I have
never talked to my parents about sex or
stds, and I don't want to. My mum
always needs to know where I am and if I
go to a clinique to get it checked, she
will know (which I don't want). It
would be extremely unusual for me to tell
my mum to just "drop me off at a
clinique".
I am so worried! Will I ever be able to
have children without giving my partner
(or my children) the warts (if I have
them).
I need advice, I am a pessimist =( and I
also happen to have a mild anxiety
disorder.
I am feeling pretty sad and very scared!

I am getting worried that what I have on
my shaft might be genital warts.
I thought they might have been sebaceous
glands, but apparently they are supposed
to be symetrical (appear on both sides of
the penis).
Mine only appear on one side, except about
3 similar spots on the other side (but
it's clearly uneven).
They have a definitive contour - they
don't look like pimples.
They are in small clusters, they are tiny,
and i'm pretty sure i've had them for at
least 2 years, i'm 16... About to turn
17 and i've never had sex, as metioned
before.
Also, the skin close to the head of my
penis is quite thin and I have large
tyson's glands on each side of my penis,
just below the head.
If they were warts, would they grow?
Also, would it be possible to transmit
them from my penis to my mouth if I
touched my mouth after touching the
warts?
Please say something... It's been a few
days, and no one has responded. I'm
freaking out!!!

I doubt you have herpes since your a
virgin but you mentioned something about
your mom having a genital infection. Im
afraid I have something because ive had
sex but since your a virgin id try and
calm down. Why wont you go to the Dr.?
Lets say its the absolute worse case
scenario and it was something you got from
your mom(which your assuming). Thats not
your fault! Dont be embarrassed to go to
the Dr. Man. Im pretty sure you have
nothing. If you dont want your mom to
know your going to the Dr. Go to a public
clinic. But honestly dont let those
speakers scare you. They show you all
these horrible pics of chlamydia/ghoneria
and herpes. They however fail to mention
ghoneria and chlamydia are easily cureable
and herpes can be suppressed. Good luck
