Question 1

is there a difference between sexually transmitted oral herpes and obtaining oral herpes through genetics? can you do a test to find out?

Accepted Answer

I would not think so: I have not heard of genetically aquired herpes. Herpes is a viral infection that can only be transmitted by direct contact with an infected person with active lesions. Oral herpes can be spread orally thru kissing and genitally via oral sex. There is medication taken daily that greatly decreases your chances of having any active lesions called valtrex (valacyclovir). See your doctor for a prescription.

Question 2

i had a wart besides my scrotum and one in between my legs, or that zone and were removed. my family has many warts, and my grandfather had a wart on his genital zone. could it be genetics and its a common wart? im a virgin, no sexual contact?

Accepted Answer

Common wart: Various strains of the HPV virus cause warts in specific tissues. The location of the wart on normal skin surfaces like near the scrotum /on the legs/on fingers/is specific to the strains involved. Acquisition is by chance contact with the germ, not passed in genes.  Genital warts are caused by different strains passed during sex.

Question 3

hello i need to know if a urinary infection is the result of a sexually transmitted disease?

Accepted Answer

UTI versus STD: A good medical provider that you trust should be safe to discuss all of your concerns and your recent history...Including your sexual history.

But, along with the urine culture that must be happening, the provider can also test for common stds that can also cause the symptoms of a uti.

Question 4

if a woman has been diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease, what can happen to her sexual partner as a result of this? i am a male whose sexual partner was recently diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease. what is pelvic inflammatory disease? is it

Accepted Answer

Pelvic : Pelvic inflammatory disease (pid) is a serious infection of the uterus and/or fallopian tubes most often caused by chlamydia or gonorrhea - both sexually transmitted diseases.  If she was diagnosed with pid, there is a very good chance that you are infected with chlamydia, gonorrhea or both.  You should see your doctor to be checked and treated as soon as possible.  I have attached a website below that has really good information about pid.

Question 5

how does peer pressure affect a teen's sexual development?

Accepted Answer

Sex and teens: Peer pressure can disrupt a teens normal sexual development if a teen is pressured and gives in to sexual activity before he or she feels comfortable and ready.  Sexuality is an important aspect of development and impacts a person's identity, self-worth, self-image, and emotional stability among other areas.  It is important to respect your own sexual boundaries as well as others.

Question 6

i'm wondering what effect will a trauma to my testicles cause to the development of my sexual organs?

Accepted Answer

At your age: There is no more development, but there are consequences to trauma. See a urologist for evaluation/limiting the on going damage and future impaired function.

Question 7

can trauma to the testicles when young affect your sexual development? i got a bad kick in the groin when i was 12 and i've got a very small package.

Accepted Answer

Possible but: unlikely , testicular atrophy is possible with unrecognized , untreated testicular  trauma , but need evaluation see  your physician , if needed will refer you to a specialist

Question 8

during puberty what are the functions of testosterone vs dihydrotestosterone? which has greater influence on sexual development, facial hair & voice?

Accepted Answer

DHT: Dht has all the masculizing effects from hormones you asked about.  Testosterone on its own is anabolic and good to build muscle and wellness effects on your psyche. Dht has all the bad effects.  Testosterone converts into dht.

Question 9

hi. i'm a 19 years old male. i'm losing my hair due to male pattern baldness. can finasteride halt my sexual development as i might be into late stages of puberty? thanks.

Accepted Answer

True: Talk to a doctor because fenestra can have some other side effects. But what you say is probably true you could stop the hair loss at this point but be dependent.

Question 10

sexual disorders, can i cure with panchakarma?

Accepted Answer

No: You're welcome to experiment. This is a class of traditional folk remedies and if you take these thousands-of-years-old claims at face value, you'd be overcredulous. Perhaps the claims are metaphorical. We can handle (and sometimes even cure) the sexually transmitted infections. Functional disorders are best addressed first by evidence-based medicine. Don't try to alter sexual orientation.
