Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was out walking a few days ago & needed to go to the bathroom so ducked into the woods off the road, knowing I would not make it home in time. Now I have a couple of sores on my bottom, one near my vaginal area, one near my rectum opening. Could I have gotton into some poison oak or something? I am have been divorced for 8 years and my boyfriend of 5 & 1/2 years ended our relationship 2 months ago & were not intimate for longer than that.
I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.These symptoms and signs are suggestive of STD especially if there is associated pain, fever, urethral discharge and recent sexual intercourse. So this is the first thing to rule out by doing STD testing.
Second, it may be sign of uroinfection or urinary stones and some other genital infection but this is less common. In every case, antibiotic therapy may be required so test should be done as soon as possible so that appropriate treatment can be started. Till that try to drink plenty of fluids, avoid sexual intercourse and rest.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
General Surgeon
