There are photos available on the Internet of the sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is colloquially known as blue waffle.
These images are not for the faint-hearted, and are not something you'd generally see on Blurtit, either.
What is 'Blue Waffle'?
'Blue waffle' is actually a slang term for a severe infection and inflammation of the vaginal area, and is something that requires urgent treatment to ease the pain and discomfort.
Looking at an image of the infection can be a good idea if you need to educate other people about the importance of contraception, but don't forget that these are graphic images!
You can find an example of the condition at the following site: www.documentingreality.com/forum/f149/blue-waffle-infection- Do note that the link is unsuitable for young children.
So, why is the disease called blue waffle? In short, it is because lesions on the vagina cause considerable bruising. Over time, these disfigurements can turn blue, and 'waffle' is just a slang term for a vagina.
There are rumours that challenge the severity of blue waffle, with allegations that all of the pictures circulating on the Internet have been altered for dramatic effect. Either way, there’s no disputing that such pictures do encourage those who are sexually active to take precautions.
How to Take Precautions Against STDs
Using condoms when having sex can dramatically reduce your chances of catching an STD such as genital warts, herpes, gonorrhoea or chlamydia.
If you feel that you might already have a sexually-transmitted disease or infection, go to your local sexual health clinic, where you will be tested and given appropriate treatment and advice. Some pharmacies also offer walk-in sessions, where you can see an expert to discuss the topic of STDs and STIs in confidence.
