Answer:

There are many factors that determine your risk for STD. Are you sexually active? Are you in a true monogamous relationship? How long have you had these symptoms? Has anything else about your health changed? You must check with your health care provider to discover what the reddish swollen spots around your vagina actually mean. To obtain an accurate diagnosis it’s imperative that you: · Set the exam when you're not having your monthly period. · Do not douche 24 hours before your exam. · Do not use vaginal sprays 24 hours before your exam. · If you have sex less than 24 hours before the exam, be sure to use condoms. · Be totally open & honest when speaking with your medical care worker.
