genital warts without sexual contact Posted: 10-18-04 22:27pm
Hello, is it possible to contract genital
warts without ever having sexual contact
and without your mother having it. I ask
this because for the past week or two
i%uFFFDve been slightly sore and itchy
down below. The pain is not constant but
sometimes it will really itch and burn. I
just had my period this past week too.
When I examined myself I found what
appears to be a small flesh colored growth
that is long and skinny protruding from my
skin near the opening of my vagina. Also,
the area around my opening feels rough and
bumpy. Could this be an allergic reaction
to something? My opening also looks
slightly swollen. I've never been
sexually active so I could not have got it
from there and my mother has never
mentioned anything about her having
genital warts. I'm 18 so I think she
would have by now if she did. My mother
has however had female problems in the
past with cyst growing on her ovaries or
maybe it was her uterus but she finally
had to have a hysterectomy (sp.?). Any
help or advice would be great.
