Lymphogranuloma Venereum
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a sexually transmitted infection caused by certain types of the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It mainly affects the lymph nodes of the genital area and can go through several stages.
How it may show up: a small initial ulcer or sore that often goes unnoticed, followed by painful swelling of the lymph nodes in the groin, and sometimes discomfort in the genital or anal area.
When to seek care? For genital ulcers, swollen lymph nodes in the groin, or discomfort after unprotected sexual contact, a professional evaluation is advisable.
Who treats it? Both the urologist and the OB-GYN can study this condition depending on the case. If you have any of these signs, seeing one of these specialists helps clarify the situation and receive appropriate guidance.
