Hey Jane has launched its telemedicine service in Virginia, offering healthcare services for abortion, birth control, and vaginal infections (UTIs, yeast infections, herpes, and bacterial vaginosis).

I grew up with abstinence-only sex education, and it did a real number on me. But I’ve shaken off enough of my old cultural programming to realize that the transmission of bacteria and viruses is a thing that sometimes just happens when animals come together, no matter how stringently we might try to prevent it.

I have gotten urinary tract infections when a stray microbe found its way into my urethra after sex. Lube and bodily fluids have disturbed my vagina’s pH and caused a yeast infection many times. So has wearing a bathing suit for too long without drying it, yet another “risk” worth the pleasures of swimming along the sea wall.

Once or twice I’ve had an outbreak of cold sores, just like 80% of humans. If I’m like most people, I probably caught oral herpes when I was very young, sharing a sippy cup or rolling around at a sleepover.

None of this makes me disgusting, irresponsible, evil, or dangerous to others. It just makes me a living creature that exists in close contact with other creatures. I believe I have a responsibility to get tested regularly, to alert people who have been close to me when I get sick, and to use preventative measures like condoms, PreP, vaccines, toys, and masks to prevent the spread of infections as best I can. But I never imagine I can lead a life without risk — or that such a life would even be desirable.

There is no such thing as completely “safe” sex. A friend of mine can’t use condoms because they give her bacterial vaginosis. She chooses instead to fuck raw and take PreP and get anything else she catches treated. A guy I know who masks and tests religiously caught COVID while fisting someone (with a gloved hand!) at an air-filtered party. HPV is so prevalent that most sexual wellness clinics don’t bother testing for it, and can’t do much for a patient if they do have it. Our bodies are teeming at all times with various endemic viruses and microbes that we will never have the power to purge.

Then there are the possible costs of not having sex — vaginal atrophy, pelvic floor weakening, reduced access to endorphins, loneliness, touch starvation, the despair of harboring dreams that one never dares try. I can’t decide for anyone else which dangers loom the largest, but for me a gonorrhea shot is a fair trade for the hours of leg-cramping, bed-staining, hypno-kinky sex that led to it. There’s no guarantee that the next time I have sex it will be anywhere near as much fun, but the potential keeps me throwing the dice.

I hear quite frequently from sexually inexperienced Autistic people who crave an intimate connection, but desperately wish to remain responsible and “safe.” They want there to be a set of iron-tight rules they can follow that will guarantee they remain a virtuous person who never hurts anyone’s feelings, and never catches any sexually transmitted infection.

I understand why they want someone to impose order onto an unpredictable, terrifying world. But I can’t give that certainty to them, nor can anyone. All I can suggest is that they be honest with themselves about what they want, inform themselves of the costs and benefits to pursuing their desires, and then venture forward — proudly welcoming the correct risks into their life, rather than trying to avoid any risks at all.

Life is nothing but a negotiation of risk. If a person has gender dysphoria and they want to combat it, they must risk a transition they could one day regret. If an abolitionist wants to take a stand against the police state, they must plan for the possibility of arrest or political repression. When we open our hearts to love, we expose ourselves to grief — our partners will keep changing and growing, sometimes away from us. Each step that we take forward in life closes off potential paths. There is no avoiding this.

Instead of chasing after the false promise of “safety,” trying to remain completely insulated from harm and challenge forever, we must get better at admitting risk into our lives.

I wrote about all about the messy business of risk mitigation, and how the pursuit of perfect safety is used to justify isolation, theft of bodily autonomy, and political repression. It's free to read (or have narrated to you by the app!) at drdevonprice.substack.com

Understanding the Causes of Burning Sensation During Urination From The Best Urologist In Surat

Experiencing a burning sensation during urination can be alarming and uncomfortable. It’s a symptom that signals an underlying issue, ranging from mild infections to more serious medical conditions. This problem affects both men and women, though women tend to experience it more frequently due to anatomical differences, explain some of the best urologists in Surat. Understanding the root causes is essential for finding the right treatment and relief.

In this blog, we’ll explore the various causes behind the burning sensation during urination, helping you identify when it’s time to seek medical attention.

What Causes Burning Sensation During Urination?

Burning during urination, medically known as dysuria, occurs when the urinary tract or surrounding tissues are irritated or inflamed. Several factors can trigger this discomfort, and identifying the cause depends on the individual’s symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. Doctors from the best hospital in Surat, SIDS Hospital, list the most common causes:

1. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

Urinary tract infections are one of the most common culprits of burning during urination. A UTI occurs when bacteria, typically Escherichia coli (E. coli), enter the urinary tract, causing inflammation. Women are particularly prone to UTIs due to their shorter urethra, which allows bacteria to travel to the bladder more easily.

Symptoms of a UTI include:

● Burning or pain during urination

● Frequent urge to urinate, even with little urine output

● Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

● Pelvic pain or pressure (in women)

Treatment for UTIs typically involves antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare provider. Drinking plenty of water and practicing good hygiene can help prevent future infections.

2. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

Certain STIs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, or trichomoniasis, can also cause burning during urination. These infections inflame the urethra and surrounding tissues, leading to discomfort.

According to the best urologists in Surat, key symptoms of STIs include:

● Burning sensation during urination

● Unusual discharge from the genitals

● Pain during intercourse

● Genital sores or itching

Prompt testing and treatment are essential to address STIs. Antibiotics or antiviral medications can manage these infections effectively.

3. Irritation or Allergic Reactions

Sometimes, burning during urination isn’t caused by an infection but rather by irritation or an allergic reaction to certain substances. Common irritants include:

● Harsh soaps or bubble baths

● Feminine hygiene products, such as douches or sprays

● Spermicide-coated condoms

● Laundry detergents or fabric softeners

These products can disrupt the pH balance of the genital area, leading to inflammation. If irritation is the cause, stopping the use of the offending product usually resolves the issue quickly, share our experts at SIDS hospital, one of the best urology hospital in Surat.

4. Kidney Stones or Bladder Stones

Kidney or bladder stones can cause painful urination if they obstruct the urinary tract or irritate its lining. Stones form when minerals in the urine crystallize, creating hard deposits.

Symptoms of stones include:

● Intense pain in the lower back, abdomen, or groin

● Burning during urination

● Pink, red, or brown urine due to blood

● Frequent need to urinate

Treatment varies depending on the size of the stone. Small stones may pass naturally with increased fluid intake, while larger stones might require medical intervention, such as lithotripsy or surgery.

5. Vaginal or Urethral Infections

In women, vaginal infections like yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis can irritate the urinary tract, causing a burning sensation during urination. Similarly, urethritis (inflammation of the urethra) in men or women can result from infections or trauma.

Symptoms of vaginal infections include:

● Itching or irritation in the vaginal area

● Unusual vaginal discharge

● Pain during urination or intercourse

Symptoms of urethritis include:

● Pain or burning during urination

● Discharge from the urethra (in men)

Both conditions are treatable with antifungal or antibiotic medications, depending on the underlying cause.

6. Prostatitis in Men

Prostatitis, or inflammation of the prostate gland, is a common cause of painful urination in men. It can result from bacterial infections or other factors like stress or injury.

Symptoms of prostatitis include:

● Burning during urination

● Difficulty starting or stopping urination

● Pain in the pelvis, lower back, or genitals

● Flu-like symptoms (in bacterial prostatitis)

The best urologists in Surat usually treat this with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, or lifestyle adjustments.

7. Medical Conditions Affecting the Bladder or Urethra

Chronic conditions like interstitial cystitis (painful bladder syndrome) or overactive bladder can also cause burning during urination. These conditions are often non-infectious and require specialized treatment.

Symptoms of interstitial cystitis include:

● Chronic pelvic pain

● Urgent or frequent urination

● Pain during urination, despite no infection

8. Dehydration or Diet

In some cases, burning urination stems from dehydration or consuming irritants like caffeine, alcohol, or spicy foods. Experts from SIDS Hospital, one of the best hospitals in Surat, explain that when urine becomes too concentrated, it irritates the urinary tract, leading to discomfort.

When Should You See a Doctor?

While mild cases may resolve on their own, persistent or severe symptoms warrant medical attention. Consult a doctor if you experience:

● Burning that lasts more than a day or two

● Fever, chills, or nausea

● Blood in your urine

● Pain that radiates to your back or sides

Final Thoughts

A burning sensation during urination is not only uncomfortable but also a sign that something may be wrong with your urinary or reproductive system. Identifying the cause is crucial for effective treatment and relief. Whether it’s an infection, irritation, or underlying condition, addressing the issue promptly by doctors from the best urology hospital in Surat can prevent complications and improve your quality of life.

Vaginal Infections: Common Causes, Symptoms, and When to Seek Medical Advice

Vaginal infections are a common concern for many women, and they can occur at any age. These infections can cause discomfort, disrupt daily activities, and, if left untreated, may lead to more serious health issues. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and when to seek medical advice is crucial for maintaining good reproductive health. If you experience any signs of a vaginal infection, consulting a gynecologist in Indore can help you get the appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Common Causes of Vaginal Infections

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV): This is caused by an imbalance in the bacteria naturally present in the vagina. When harmful bacteria overgrow, it can lead to symptoms like unusual discharge and an unpleasant odor. Douching and sexual activity with new or multiple partners are common risk factors.

Yeast Infections: A yeast infection is caused by an overgrowth of Candida, a fungus normally found in small amounts in the vagina. Triggers include antibiotics, a weakened immune system, high blood sugar levels, or hormonal changes.

Trichomoniasis: This is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Symptoms include itching, burning, and a frothy, yellow-green vaginal discharge with a strong odor.

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Besides trichomoniasis, infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and herpes can cause vaginal infections. These are transmitted through sexual contact and can lead to serious complications if not treated.

Poor Hygiene: Inadequate or improper cleaning of the genital area can lead to infections, as can wearing tight, non-breathable clothing that traps moisture, creating an environment for bacteria or fungi to thrive.

Symptoms of Vaginal Infections

Unusual vaginal discharge (color, consistency, or odor)

Itching or irritation in the vaginal area

Burning sensation, especially during urination

Pain or discomfort during intercourse

Redness or swelling of the vulva

When to Seek Medical Advice

It’s important to seek help from a gynecologist in Indore if you experience any of the following:

Symptoms that last more than a few days

A persistent change in vaginal discharge

Severe itching, swelling, or redness

Pain during urination or sexual intercourse

Symptoms that don’t improve after using over-the-counter treatments

In some cases, vaginal infections may be symptoms of more serious underlying conditions. Regular visits to a gynecologist in Indore are crucial for preventive care and early detection of any gynecological issues. A healthcare professional can help you determine the cause of the infection and recommend the appropriate treatment, ensuring quick relief and preventing complications.

My friend in college. He was sexually active and he did receive this but didn't transmit it. And each time he got it, he knew and got it. Taken care of immediately. Yes, antibiotics take care of it quickly. So this disease is contracted by women easily and transmitted by women...

Anyone who is sexually active can get chlamydia, a sexually transmitted bacterial infection (STI), but it's more common in women than men. In the United States, women are estimated to have twice the infection rate of men. Some risk factors for infection include: 

Not consistently using barrier methods like condoms with new sexual partners 

Having a sexual partner who is having sex with other people 

Having a history of chlamydia or other STIs 

Being a young sexually active woman, especially between the ages of 15 and 24 

Being a man who has oral or anal sex with men 

Chlamydia - NHS

It can also be passed by a pregnant woman to her baby. Chlamydia cannot be passed on through casual contact, such as kissing and hugging, or from sharing baths,

And you don't think they need to stop with the bisexuality and lesbianism in the adult entertainment, and this is where I said, if they do it at all, it can be deep fakes. But I don't want to encourage it in the outside environment.... Cause then people really get sick. So we have to figure out a way of discouraging this, and like I said, look at all these diseases that are more common sexually transmit it that are more common amongst a lesbian and bisexual women then heterosexual women!!!! And you keep on telling me that this is a good thing, lesbians and bisexuals and homosexuals and transgender!!!! How is this possible? It being a good thing when it causes unbelievable problems physically and mentally. Besides causing the unborn child, all kinds of diseases that it contracts in the womb and causes still birth and birth defects, and then you have to address those issues after birth, if they survive!!!!

In addition, when women, including asymptomatic women, have been tested for STDs, lesbian and bisexual women have had a higher prevalence of bacterial vaginosis, hepatitis B and C, gonorrhea, genital herpes and chlamydia than heterosexual women.Dec 8, 2008

STDs Among Sexually Active Female College Students

You think all universities should require mandatory? Annual physicals and part of those physicals should be testing for sexually transmitted diseases.... C d c says that women under twenty five should be checked for sexually transmitted diseases.Regularly...

"The CDC recommends that all sexually active women under 25 get routine annual screening for STIs."

Yes, lesbians and bisexual women have higher rates of chlamydia than heterosexual women. According to a 2008 study, sexually active female college students who identify as lesbian or bisexual have a higher prevalence of chlamydia than heterosexual women, even if they don't have symptoms. A 1990s survey of lesbian and bisexual women found that 102 respondents reported contracting chlamydia from a female partner. 





Lesbian and bisexual women are vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like chlamydia because of skin-to-skin and mouth-to-genital contact, sharing sex toys, and exchanging vaginal fluids or menstrual blood. Other risk factors for STIs among women who have sex with women (WSW) include: 







Gonorrhea 



Trichomoniasis 



Syphilis 



Hepatitis A and HIV 



Smoking 



High alcohol intake 



Injecting nonprescribed drugs 



The CDC recommends that all sexually active women under 25 get routine annual screening for STIs.

Blue Waffle Disease

Debunking Blue Waffle Disease: Myths, Facts, and STI Prevention

The Blue Waffle Disease hoax emphasizes the need for reliable sexual health information. By understanding real STIs and practicing preventive measures, we can dispel myths and promote better health outcomes. If you experience any symptoms or concerns, consult a healthcare provider for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

What Is Blue Waffle Disease?

Blue Waffle Disease is an internet hoax, falsely described as a severe genital condition causing blue discoloration and lesions. Despite its viral spread on platforms like Reddit and Twitter, medical experts and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirm that Blue Waffle Disease is not real. This myth has misled many, highlighting the need for accurate sexual health information.

The Origins and Spread of the Blue Waffle Hoax

The Blue Waffle Disease myth originated around 2010 as an internet prank that quickly went viral. The hoax claimed that this fictitious STI turned the vaginal area blue and caused severe symptoms like lesions and discharge. The spread of this misinformation was fueled by doctored images and sensationalist claims. Despite being debunked by medical professionals, the myth persists, highlighting the dangers of internet misinformation and the importance of accessing reliable health information.

Symptoms Similar to Other STIs

The supposed symptoms of Blue Waffle Disease mimic those of real sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Recognizing these symptoms can lead to appropriate treatment:

- Genital Herpes: Painful blisters and sores, managed with antiviral medications (CDC, Genital Herpes).

- Vaginal Candidiasis: Itching, redness, and white discharge, treated with antifungal medications (CDC, Vaginal Candidiasis).

- Bacterial Vaginosis: Discharge, odor, and discomfort, treated with antibiotics (Workowski et al., 2021).

- Trichomoniasis: Itching, burning, and foul-smelling discharge, treated with antiprotozoal medication (Garcia et al., 2023).

Common STIs and Their Symptoms

While Blue Waffle Disease is not real, several actual STIs exhibit symptoms that can cause confusion. Understanding these can help individuals seek appropriate medical care:

- Chlamydia: Often asymptomatic, but can cause vaginal discharge, pain during urination, and lower abdominal pain. Left untreated, it can lead to serious reproductive issues.

- Gonorrhea: Symptoms include burning during urination, increased vaginal discharge, and bleeding between periods. Both men and women can contract it, affecting the genitals, rectum, and throat.

- Genital Herpes: Caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), symptoms include painful blisters, sores, and vaginal discharge. The virus remains in the body and can reactivate.

- Human Papillomavirus (HPV): This common STI can cause genital warts and is associated with various cancers, such as cervical and throat cancer. Vaccination is available to prevent certain high-risk strains.

How To Prevent STIs

Preventing STIs involves a combination of safe sexual practices, regular testing, and proper hygiene. Essential strategies include:

- Use Protection: Condoms significantly reduce STI transmission (CDC, Sexually Transmitted Diseases Prevention).

- Regular Testing: Routine screenings detect STIs early, enabling timely treatment (Workowski et al., 2021).

- Communication: Discuss STI status and safe sex practices with partners.

- Vaccination: Vaccines like HPV can prevent certain STIs (CDC, Sexually Transmitted Diseases Prevention).

The Importance of STI Testing

Regular STI testing is crucial for maintaining sexual health. Tests can include urine samples, blood tests, or swabs. The CDC advises regular screenings for STIs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV, especially for those with new or multiple partners (Workowski et al., 2021).

Dispelling Myths and Emphasizing Education

The persistence of the Blue Waffle Disease myth underscores the necessity of comprehensive sex education. Misinformation can lead to unnecessary panic and stigmatization. Reliable sources, such as the CDC and Planned Parenthood, provide accurate information on sexual health, STI prevention, and treatment. Educating young people through school programs and public health campaigns is crucial to combatting myths and promoting healthy sexual behaviors.

Practical Steps for STI Prevention

Preventing STIs involves adopting safer sex practices and being informed about your sexual health:

- Consistent Condom Use: Condoms and dental dams are effective barriers against STIs during vaginal, anal, and oral sex.

- Regular Screenings: Routine STI testing is vital, especially for sexually active individuals with multiple partners. Early detection leads to timely treatment.

- Open Communication: Discussing STI status and sexual health with partners fosters trust and reduces the risk of transmission.

- Vaccinations: Vaccines, such as those for HPV and hepatitis B, are critical tools in preventing certain STIs.

Genital Herpes in Women : Symptoms and Treatment

Genital herpes is a viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 or type 2. HSV-2 is the most common cause of genital herpes, but HSV-1 can also cause genital herpes through oral sex. The virus is transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity with an infected person.

Most people with genital herpes experience periodic outbreaks of symptoms, which can occur weeks, months or years after the initial infection. The frequency and severity of outbreaks can vary from person to person, and some people may only have one outbreak while others may have frequent outbreaks.

It's important to note that even when there are no visible symptoms or outbreaks, the virus can still be transmitted to sexual partners. Therefore, it's important for those with genital herpes to communicate with their sexual partners and practice safe sex to

Genital Herpes Symptoms

The symptoms of genital herpes can vary from person to person, and some people may not experience any symptoms at all. However, some common symptoms of genital herpes include:

Painful, itchy or burning sores or blisters in the genital area, anus, thighs or buttocks

Fluid-filled blisters that burst and form painful sores

Ulcers or sores that crust over and heal after a few weeks

Pain or discomfort during urination

Fever, headache, muscle aches, and swollen lymph nodes in the groin area

The symptoms of genital herpes can be similar to other conditions such as yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and sexually transmitted infections, so it's important to see a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Genital Herpes Treatment

It's important to start antiviral treatment as soon as possible after the onset of symptoms to be most effective. Antiviral medications can also be used as a suppressive therapy to reduce the frequency of outbreaks in people who experience frequent or severe outbreaks.

Preventing the transmission of genital herpes is important to reduce the risk of infection and to avoid spreading the virus to sexual partners. Here are some strategies for preventing the transmission of genital herpes:

Use condoms - Condoms can reduce the risk of transmission, but they do not provide complete protection as the herpes virus can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact in areas not covered by the condom.

Avoid sexual activity during outbreaks - Herpes is most contagious during outbreaks when symptoms are present, so it's important to avoid sexual activity during this time.

Inform sexual partners - It's important to inform sexual partners about the herpes infection and to practice safe sex to reduce the risk of transmission.

Practice good hygiene - Keeping the genital area clean and dry can help to reduce the risk of transmission. Avoid touching the affected area and wash hands frequently to avoid spreading the virus to other parts of the body.

Take antiviral medication - Antiviral medications can help to reduce the frequency and duration of outbreaks, which can reduce the risk of transmission.
