This question is haunting everyone. Many have not even heard about it but still the internet is full of images and information about it. The thing which scares the most is the way it looks. What if it is real? This disease seems like vaginitis but then why it is called blue waffle?
If we look at the meaning, Waffle means vagina, if we go by the slang language. This sounds very inappropriate as if the disease is for real, why is it given such a kiddish and absurd name? Some medical professionals claim that blue waffles is an STD which really exists! Blue waffles is said to affect not only women but also men equally. So, why s it called waffle which in slang means vagina? There are so many questions to this disease. In fact, blue waffles disease is a mystery in itself but at the moment, it is considered a hoax.
What Causes this?
What causes it is not very clear but it sure has got to do with the immune system. If the immune system is not strong, the body becomes prone to infections and blue waffles is that infection which can make a body very weak and strips it off of the power to fight diseases too. It starts with a vaginal discharge followed by a foul smell. It is found to be affecting more numbers of prostitutes who practice unsafe sex and do not use condoms. The major reason for this infection is bacteria and poor hygiene.
After the continuous discharge, itching and bad odor, the color of the vagina changes to blue. It is highly advisable to see your doctor if you find any of the above symptoms in you. There is no need to panic but you should not wait either.
Should Blue Waffles be counted as an STD?
Blue waffles, in the first place, affects women. It causes a lot of pain in the vagina and itches and burns very badly. When it starts becoming worse, it forms a very awful smell and inflammation. The inflammation causes the discharge to turn bluish in color. Many people have come out and said that they have blue waffles while many have been told by the doctors that they have a combination of different STDs but nothing like blue waffles. The disease has been the topic for so many debates.
It is also been said that during blue waffles, the vagina turns sour and loses it actual looks, shape and color. As the bacteria grow inside the vagina, the infection worsens. The disease is said to be a new STD. It is found that it is transmitted during sex not by the person but through some objects used during the intercourse. The object used must not have been cleaned thoroughly after use and it may have developed the bacteria which is the sole reason for blue waffles. This disease not only infects women but also men.
For it vagina is not the only target but also mouth. It is needed to use protection during intercourse to stay protected from this disease. The objects used should be properly cleaned and stored so as to prevent any formation of bacteria. We should remember that it is caused by bacteria and unhygienic conditions. So, we should be really careful with these in order to avoid it.
Is There A Cure?
If I have to be true then I would have to say that there is no over – the – counter cure for blue waffles. Visiting a good doctor would be the best option as he/she will be able to find out the real reasons, causes and remedies of the condition. The doctor is in the best position to understand the diseases and suggest accordingly.
In many cases it was found that the person was not having blue waffles disease but a different kind of STD which was curable. Blue waffles cannot be treated at home. A person really needs to see a doctor because treating it involves using different types of medications which may be used for treating other types of STDs.
Blue waffles haven’t been around for long so it is not possible right now to say anything that may give a permanent source of hope to everyone. What we all need to do is look out for symptoms which seem very suspicious and consult a doctor immediately. Delaying will only worsen the disease and may also lessen up the chances of curing it completely.
Always remember that hygiene is very important in order to avoid infection like these. Practicing safe sex is very much needed as it protects from the dangers of STDs. Blue waffles origin is still a big mystery but nobody should forget that whatever it is, one should never avoid it and let it grow for bad. Our doctors know more about such things and we should consult them and follow their advice so as to remain on the safe side always.
