You can get an std from public restrooms ...

There are blood tests for STDs and it wouldn't hurt to get one just to be on the safe side. Even if your dr may be an ass if that's where the symptoms are leading him I'd want to know. Most are easily treated but can be bad news if not.

OP, I know what you mean - years ago, at the tender age of 17, I landed in the ER with a "textbook case" of genital herpes. I tried telling the doctors time and time again that I was a virgin, that it couldn't be that, but - possibly because every time they asked me, my mother was in the room - they didn't believe me. Two weeks of hospitalisation later, most of which I was unconscious for as my temperature shot up so sky-high, and I was finally well enough to be sent home. All that time they had been convinced they knew exactly what I had, and had been treating me accordingly - but were baffled by why I wasn't responding to the medication. The blood test they finally did on the day they released me from hospital eventually showed up my real illness - glandular fever. Or "mono" as you Americans refer to it. Which apparently does, in very rare cases, present with some very odd symptoms... FOL.

clean the toilet seats you sit on!

That sucks about your doctor. But good for you.

Heavy sleeper?

I thought of about twenty-five insults in a span of two seconds after reading this abomination of a comment. However, for your brain's sake, and for your physical health, I've chosen to withhold such literature from your ignorant mind. All I will say is: "You are literally too stupid to insult."

I actually just had almost the same happen to me. My doctor thought I was pregnant because I have huge belly. I thought I was just fat but it turnd out I have an ovarian tumor in my abdomen. It explains a lot because im skinny everywhere but the belly. so I thought I was skinny fat. but anyway the doctor was convinced it was pregnancy and wouldn't believe im 26 year old virgin because he told me what I have isn't fat. so they did tests and an ultrasound. turns out it's a tumor. which sucks. I don't know what kind it is either.

To all of you who are making jokes about STD's being transmitted by sitting on a public toilet... The only way that would be remotely possible is if she were to have sat on the toilet immediately after someone else with an STD was on it. Otherwise, that's a myth that has long been broken. Bacterial viruses, such as those that cause herpes and HIV cannot survive on cold surfaces. They also strive in warm and wet conditions, hence why the only true way to give someone an STD is through the transmission of bodily fluids, and no, sex is not the only way to exchange bodily fluids with another person.

You can be born with an STD.
