A blue waffle infection makes a vagina look like a grotesque violet, green and blue blueberry waffle. The question though: Is this disease actually real?
The question does deserve some attention. Stories and some pretty terrifying photos are doing the rounds, and it is understandable that a lot of people are a bit scared and concerned. It is not clear whether this infection is real or not. The name does sound a bit silly. A reasonable explanation for the naming of this disease is that a vagina is called waffle in slang. It seems a bit inappropriate to use a slang name for any disease, and this causes even more doubt. Why would it be called ‘waffle’ when this disease might affect men as well?
This disease is supposed to occur in women and men but is more common in women. The parasitic infection will primarily affect a woman’s or man’s urogenital tract. It is also known as trich or trichomoniasis. It is an infectious disease that is supposed to affect the vagina and urethra in women. If this disease does actually exist it is probably caused by poor hygiene and bacteria. Having unprotected sex could cause it. Because it could be sexually transmitted, someone who is infected could pass it on to his or her partner during unprotected sex.
Vaginal inflammation and itching are common symptoms. After a while the vagina changes colour and resembles a blueberry waffle. The vaginal discharge changes smell and colour. The symptoms are supposed to go away by themselves. If you are experiencing any of the vaginal symptoms it is wiser to go to your doctor instead of surfing the net and worrying. You do not have to panic. Your doctor will give you a prognosis. For now, avoid any unprotected sexual intercourse and practise good hygiene.
