Many men unnecessarily agonize over the potential onset of an STD. Quite often, however, they are merely displaying pearly penile papules symptoms, which are easily treatable.
Jason was extremely proud of the fact that he went great lengths to take care of his health. He even bragged to others about the excellent reports he received when he went to visit his doctor. He especially took pride in the fact that in all of his 31 years,
he had never contracted a sexually transmitted disease (STD). His pride grew even more as he saw how many of his friends and associates had contracted STDs, although none of them was life threatening.
Then one fateful day, all of his pride and confidence began to slowly die down.
"I can't believe this," he said as he sat on his bed in disbelief.
Jason had just noticed that he had what appeared to be bumps on his genitals. So, it caused him to believe the absolute worst.
"I don't know how I could get an STD after all of this time," he said. "I'm so embarrassed. There's no way my girlfriend will stay with me now."
What Jason didn't know was that he didn't have an STD at all. All he was actually showing were pearly penile papules symptoms, and the situation was not life threatening or health-deteriorating. However, because of the misconceptions he had, he believed the worst.
Telling his friends didn't help much either. That's not because they rubbed it in his face, but they also had a lot of misconceptions themselves. There was no way they would think that pearly penile papules symptoms were the real culprit.
"Dude, you really need to get that checked out," said his friend Brandon. "I'm not saying you're going to die or anything, but this sounds really serious."
So, Jason took his friend's advice and went to the doctor. As he sat in the waiting room, he couldn't stop the sweat from trickling down his face. He was extremely nervous and afraid. The 15 minutes that he actually waited seemed like 15 hours, as he thought about everything that could be wrong.
"What if I have something that's incurable?" he whispered to himself. "I don't know what I'm going to do."
Unable to wait any longer, Jason proceeded to get up and ask the receptionist about his wait. However, before he could do so, a nurse came out and called him to the back. After about five minutes, the doctor finally came into the room.
"Well, how are you?" said the physician. "Are you coming in for another checkup?"
"No, doctor, you have to help me," said Jason frantically. "I have an STD, and I don't know what to do. Please, make it go away."
After talking with Jason for a few more minutes, the doctor finally examined him.
"Well, I have some great news for you," said the doctor. "What you have is actually pretty harmless. All you have here are typical pearly penile papules symptoms, which are relatively easy to take care of."
Jason began to smile as he let out a sigh of relief. He didn't have an STD after all.
