 [ Symptoms ] about 5 days after being raped my gums started to swell do i have herpes [ Disease ] i am sorry to hear you are going through this and experiencing such anxiety i would suggest you make a phone call to get an appointment with a gynecologist as soon as possible to set your mind at ease many conditions can cause the symptoms you describe from a vaginal yeast infection to a urinary tract infection to a sexually transmitted disease the only way to diagnose this properly is through a physical exam by a medical professional what you are describing does not sound like a medical emergency so please do not run to the emergency room just get an appointment with your gynecologist or with a women is health center as soon as you can best wishes to you
